Tempo SC Ultra is labeled to treat for ticks. you would use 4-8 ML per gallon per 1000 sq ft. We would also recommend that you add a product called Archer IGR which is an insect growth regulator to stop the reproductive cycle of the ticks as well.
Leaf cutter ants can be a difficult pest to get rid of. The colonies are large and the ants make their own food so poison baits only have limited effects on this species of ants. According to several university websites, Maxforce Complete Granules containing hydramethlynon are some what effective, though they will usually eliminate only about 30% of a large colony in one treatment and will need to be reapplied several times. DeltaGard granules is one of the only products actually labeled for leaf cutter ants. The product label recommends treating the mound directly and lightly watering the granules in. Again, it may take several treatments to get the desired results. We also recommend contacting your local cooperative extension office to see if they have any recommendations for products that have worked for other people in your region.
Tempo SC Ultra should not be applied within 25 ft of any well, pond, lake, stream or wetland. It should be applied to the listed areas when there is not any wind to avoid drift. You should also apply to areas that will not runoff into water areas. It is also toxic to aquatic organisms.

Fortunately, we have many different products you can use that can be shipped to CT. Transport Mikron is the newest non-repellent product from FMC solutions and combines two of the most powerful insecticides on the market: Bifenthrin and Acetamiprid. Transport Mikron provides a quick knock down of over 30 pests, while at the same time providing a long term residual you can count on.

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 would recommend you to keep grass mowed and ornamental plants kept clean to reduce yard waste and allow sunlight to reach the soil. Any other sanitation measures to keep the ground from being too wet will also help reduce these insect populations.
