    Q
    Is Tempo SC Ultra suitable for wasps found in the void of the wall?
    Is there a three-month residual effect?
    A
    Tempo SC Ultra can be applied in a wall void, but dust products are much better suited for flying insects. Our most popular dust  for bees/wasp is Tempo Dust.  You will need a hand duster to apply it with.  It usually works within 24 to 48 hours. You want to go up to the opening where they are flying in and out of at dusk or at night when they are not active and puff twice directly into the hole.  Then pull the duster out and puff directly at the hole to cover the opening from about 5 inches away.  This is the most efficient and fastest way to eliminate a bee/yellow jacket/wasp nest.

    Q
    Is Tempo SC Ultra safe for bees?
    i have a large garden and i do not want to effect the honeybees that visit. will tempo sc kill the honeybees?
    A
    Tempo SC Ultra as well as any other insecticide can be harmful to honeybees in the area.  You should direct any application of pesticides to the stems and leaves of the plant or flower and try not to get any on the actual flowering part where the bees pollinate.

  • Asked by Linda
    07/30/2011
    Q
    Why can't Tempo be used on edible vegetation?
    Our garden was sprayed and I'm hoping a good washing will take care of any residual product.
    A
    Tempo cannot be applied to vegetation because the manufacturer did not label it to be applied to edible vegetation.  The manufacturer would probably tell you to discard any items that were sprayed with the tempo.  Unfortunately.  You may want to contact the manufacturer, BAYER, to be sure.  You can reach them at (800) 331-2867.

  • Asked by Lynn from Bismarck, Nd
    08/16/2011
    Q
    Will Tempo kill slugs if sprayed around the base of plants where slugs lurk?
    A
    Tempo is not labeled to control slugs. Slugs put down a continuous layer of mucus which makes it impossible for dried deposits of insecticide sprays to reach the actual slug. You will need to use a slug bait such as Sluggo Plus or Hi-Yield Improved Slug and Snail Bait to control the slugs near your plants.

  • Asked by Melissa from Lake Placid
    08/20/2011
    Q
    Which product would be best for flea and tick control indoors and out, Tempo SC or Demand CS?
    A

    Demand CS is not labeled to use indoors for flea control and Tempo SC can only be used as a crack and crevice or spot treatment for fleas indoors.  Either product would be a great choice for outdoor flea control. Most customers use a product such as Ultracide for indoor flea control and a then use a liquid concentrate like the Demand or Tempo outdoors. If you want to use the same product for both indoor and outdoor flea treatments you should consider purchasing our Outdoor Flea Kit. This kit contains Onslaught which is a broad spectrum insecticide which can be used as a broadcast spray for both indoor and outdoor infestations. The kit also contains Martins IGR which will help break the breeding cycle of the fleas for long term control.

  • Asked by Debbie from Great Falls, Mt
    10/02/2011
    Q
    Does Tempo SC Ultra spray have an expiration date?
    A
    Tempo SC Ultra does not have an expiration date from the manufacturer, but most liquid concentrates usually have a shelf life of 5 years.  You should try to use it within this time frame because the concentrates do settle over time.  You should always keep the lid on tight and not place the bottle in direct sunlight. Also, you should agitate the bottle every couple of months if you are not using it to prevent the concentrate from settling.

    Q
    Can I use Tempo SC Ultra in hamster or guinea pig cages?
    I have problems with roaches getting into their food. I think the hamsters are eating them, but I usually find a couple roaches in the guinea pig cage. When I clean the guinea pig cage, can I spray it, let it dry, and then add clean hay/bedding?
    A
    Tempo SC Ultra is not labeled for use in animal cages. We recommend that instead of spraying the cages that you treat the areas surrounding the cages to kill the roaches before they enter the cages. You can also add an Insect Growth regulator such as Gentrol IGR to the Tempo SC Ultra to help break the infestation cycle. Keeping the cages and the areas around the cages very clean will also help to get rid of the roaches.

    Q
    Why cant I buy Tempo SC in New York?
    A
    It has nothing to do with us.  It is a New York specific law that prevents us from shipping certain products to New York.  These are products defined by the New York government that they do not want homeowners using because they are professional products.  We do have a link to New York products that are permissible for us to ship.

  • Asked by Helen from Hertford, North Carolina
    03/22/2012
    Q
    Does Tempo SC Ultra kill roaches?
    A
    Tempo SC Ultra would be a great choice to use as part of a roach control program. We also recommend using a roach bait gel and an insect growth regulator along with the Tempo SC Ultra to get rid of a roach infestation. A roach bait gel such as the Advion Roach Bait Gel can be applied up high in the kitchen in the corner of cabinets and in cracks and crevices in kitchens and bathrooms. The bait contains a slow-acting poison that attracts and kills feeding roaches, who also spread the bait to other roaches by contact or by sharing food. An Insect Growth Regulator such as  Gentrol Point Source stations provide an IGR (Insect Growth Regulator) that will stop roaches from laying eggs, helping to halt the infestation. The combination of an IGR with roach bait and a quality insecticide is a highly effective roach control strategy that is widely used by pest control professionals.
