  • Asked by Rob from Donalsonville Georgia
    05/12/2015
    Q
    Will Tempo SC Ultra kill termites?
    A
    Tempo SC Ultra will eradicate those above ground termites but will not replace a soil applicaiton or wood treatment. If you are treating for termites we recommend a soil treatment for subterranean termites with a non-repellent termiticide such as Termidor SC. Bora-Care can be applied to raw wood for treating drywood termites. Please read our Termite Treatment Article for more information.

Please read our How to Get Rid of Bird Mite Article for product recommendations and how to treat for this pest. We also recommend contacting your local extension office with a sample of the mite for treatment options in your area.

    11/06/2014
    Q
    Is it safe to use Tempo SC Ultra for fleas inside the house? Will it harm anything in the house?
    If not how much Tempo SC Ultra per 2 gallons of water?
    A
    Tempo SC Ultra should NOT be used for flea control indoors! We would recommend our Indoor Flea Kit as the items in this kit are safe and effective for indoor flea treatments. The Indoor Flea Kit is designed to treat the interiors of homes, apartments, and similar areas with existing flea infestations. The Alpine Flea Insecticide with IGR Aerosol can be used on most floor surfaces and pet bedding, while the CimeXa Dust can be applied to carpets, other floor coverings, and in cracks and crevices where fleas may harbor. Both products are extremely low risk to pets and people and can, therefore, be used in sensitive treatment areas. The Indoor Flea Kit is safe, ready-to-use, and does not require additional application equipment. This kit is designed to treat areas up to 2,000 square feet.

  • Asked by Karen from Delray Beach,florida
    10/03/2014
    Q
    Does Tempo SC Ultra work for the elimination of ticks in the yard and in the house?
    They seem to be immune to the products.
    A
    Yes, Tempo SC Ultra is labeled to kill ticks. It is recommended that you use an IGR (insect growth regulator) as well to stop the ticks from producing. Archer IGR is an excellent IGR that is photostable for up to 14 days so it works in direct sunlight. It will work for up to 7 months. For your first treatment, you will use Tempo SC Ultra and Archer IGR. The next treatment will be 14 days later with the Tempo SC Ultra only. You will do supplemental treatments as needed after the first two treatments.

  • Asked by Maribel from Rio Hondo Tx
    10/02/2014
    Q
    How fast does Tempo SC Ultra work on roaches?
    How fast does it work on roaches???
    A

    Tempo SC Ultra could take a while to work because it is a residual product. It will provide a faster knockdown because it does contain two active ingredients that work together.

    When combating roaches, we would recommend using Gentrol IGR (insect growth regulator) to stop the roaches from reproducing.
