    Q
    How long before rain does Tempo SC Ultra have to be applied to still be effective?
    We sprayed yesterday and it rained a few hours later. How long does it have to be before it rains for the spraying to be most effective?
    A
    Tempo SC Ultra needs to have at least 4 hours to dry properly before the rain happens. This product holds up very well in the rain. If it rained before the product had enough time to dry, it is possible that it may not be as effective.

    Q
    Does Tempo SC Ultra kill flea eggs specifically? And is there a product Tempo Ultra SE or just SC?

    Tempo SC Ultra will kill the adult fleas. We would recommend using  Archer IGR (insect growth regulator). This will stop the fleas from reproducing. There is no product called Tempo Ultra SE.

    Q
    How long does Tempo SC Ultra stay in the ground?
    I have a flower bed that is currently being treating with Tempo SC Ultra for white flies. Is it safe to plant tomatoes in this bed next spring?
    A

    You will have to wait one complete growing season after treating your soil with Tempo SC Ultra. Per the manufacturer, it would not be safe to plant tomatoes in the spring if you sprayed sometime this year.

  • Asked by Kevin from Idabel, Ok
    09/28/2014
    Q
    Should I expect them to be gone instantly?
    We have two cats, but they never go outdoors. This last week we suddenly had a house full of fleas. Followed the instructions for Tempo precisely just last night. Not only are they not gone, but they seem almost just as rampant. Shouldn't they be gone by now? Ideas, anyone? Thank you.
    A
    Tempo is a great product, but since you cannot apply as a broadcast, we do not necessarily recommend it for fleas. Please review our Flea control page. We recommend using our Indoor Flea Control kit. This kit contains two cans of Alpine Aerosol which is one of the safest professional grade flea sprays for use indoors and was recently classified as a reduced risk product by the EPA. It provides excellent control of fleas and contains an IGR as well, which prevents adult fleas from being able to lay eggs, eventually halting the flea reproductive cycle.  You'll also get two bottles of CimeXa Dust which is a safe, odorless, non-staining dust that is perfect for spreading on carpets, floor coverings, in cabinets, under furniture cushions, and other areas where fleas tend to harbor.  As fleas come into contact with CimeXa, the dust literally dries the fleas out causing eventual death.  These two products together create a powerful double punch providing excellent, safe and lasting indoor flea control.

    Q
    Use Tempo SC Ultra as systemic on plants to bring inside for winter?
    Need to spray 3 times at 10 day interval
    A
    Tempo SC Ultra does not work as a systemic. However, you can use Tempo SC Ultra as a foliar spray on house plants. Simply mix 8-16 mL of Tempo SC Ultra per gallon of water and spray liberally over the target plants. Be sure to spray the top layer of the soil as well.

    Q
    Tempo Ultra vs Temprid SC for scorpions
    Which product would you recommend for interior scorpion control?

  • Asked by Nichole from Cs Ms
    09/06/2014
    Q
    Can I use Tempo SC Ultra in my home there is a bad infestation in a rental property that I have
    Tried all the local pest control people and nothing hope this works. Treating for roaches and spiders
    A
    Tempo SC Ultra is safe to spray indoors around baseboards and cracks and crevices for the pests listed on the product label. 

    For a roach infestation we would recommend our Roach Control Kit #1 in addition to the Tempo SC Ultra.  The Tempo will work very well for spiders as well.

    The kit contains enough of each product to effectively treat an average home but severe infestations may take several months to eliminate and may require multiple treatments. Sanitation plays a key role in eliminating roach infestations as well. Be sure to wipe out sinks to remove moisture at the end of the night, vacuum and mop under and behind appliances to remove food debris, take out trash every night, limit food consumption to one room.

    Please take a few minutes to read the hints and tips in our German Cockroach article to learn more about roach elimination.

  • Asked by Marques from Cadott, Wi

    Q
    i have just purchased a 900ml bottle and plan on spraying multiple house for Asian beetles i have a100 gallon
    A
    Tempo SC Ultra is labeled for a few differnt types of Beetles, however Asian Beetles is not the label. We recommend using Onslaught Fastcap or Bifen IT outdoors to kill Asian beetles,using either product at a mixing rate of 1oz per gallon water. Treating outdoor areas is very time consuming and getting the appropriate coverage over the area can be a real challenge. But it's the only way to stop the invasion. Spraying indoors without spraying outdoors is virtually useless. Any measure for control to treat Asian Lady Beetles assumes that all holes and entry points OUTSIDE of the structure have been sealed first. When treating the inside and outside perimeter of the home, focus on the entry points to the home (windows, doord, eaves, attic vents, foundation cracks). Please let us know if you have any further questions.

    Q
    How do I mix Tempo SC Ultra to kill Mosquitoes in lawn turf?
    I have a lawn spraying business and have a rig with 500 ga. Tank , diaphragm pump set at 100 pounds, 4 gallons per 1000 sq feet thanks
    A

    Per the Tempo SC Ultra Product Label: For Mosquito control, when using roughly 5 gallons of water per 1000 sq/ft, you will use 40-80 ml per 25 gallons of water. At the lower rate, this comes out to 800 ml of Tempo per 500 gallon tank. 

    An alternative product that is one of our top mosquito control insecticide concentrates, that will be typically cheaper per gallon of finished solution would be our Bifen IT. You would use 1.5-3 gallons of Bifen per 200 gallons of water. For your rig you would need at the lower rate, 3.5 gallons of Bifen.
