There is no valid reason to mix Cy Kick CS, Demand CS and Tempo SC Ultra together, it would not make any product work better or produce better results, though it could make treated areas repellent to insects, lessening the effectiveness of the treatment. Cy-Kick or Demand alone would be great options for the listed insects. If you want a faster initial knockdown during application you can add ExciteR. If doing so, be sure to make as much direct contact with insects during application.
Tempo SC Ultra can be used on turf and ornamental plants for noseeums and other common flying insects. We cannot guarantee it would kill eggs or other immature species of these insects.

We also recommend starting applications in early August to prevent having the stink bugs move in with you and sealing up as many cracks, crevces and gaps as possible.
