  • Asked by Dennis from Hartford
    07/14/2014
    Q
    I broadcast Tempo SC in my yard at 8 oz to 25 gallons are my dogs going to be ok if they eat the grass?
    A
    When Tempo SC Ultra is mixed properly according to the product label the small amount of active ingredient left behind on the grass once the product has dried only has a toxicity level of that to kill something as small as an insect. The insect walks across it, picks up a little bit on their feet/bodies and ingests it as they groom themselves.  As long as your dogs were out of the area until it dries there should be no harm.

    Can I spray a 12 - 15' Linden Tree directly with Tempo SC Ultra for control of Japanese Beetles?
    If so, what is the mixing ratio?

  • Asked by Donna from Oceanside, Ca
    06/15/2014
    Q
    Does Tempo SC Ultra work on bird lice, or bird mites that are indoors?
    We have had sparrows that nest in my hanging baskets right outside our bedroom slider for years. This year I believe that when the babies left, the mites came inside. We almost year round have the slider open at night. I am being eaten alive.
    A
    Tempo SC Ultra is not labeled for mites. 

    It is important to be absolutely sure you are actually dealing with bird mites. Have the suspected bird mite identified by a reputable source, such as your local cooperative extension office or a reputable pest control operator. Treatments will vary for different pests. If you do indeed have bird mites, you must first find the source of the infestation, usually a bird nest or a dead bird on or in the home. Removal of the infested nest or bird and a thorough cleanup is necessary. For treatment in the home, we recommend you frequently vacuum all carpet and upholstery and dispose of the bag or vacuum contents in a sealed bag outdoors. Spray Sterifab on couches, chairs and other upholstered furniture where you may spend time resting. Use MotherEarth Dust in all cracks and crevices around the perimeter of the room. Apply a thin coat of MotherEarth dust to rugs and carpets. Rake (not sweep) nap back and forth, causing dust to enter rug or carpet. Let product sit overnight. Repeat application as necessary and vacuum every 3 - 4 days for effective control. MotherEarth dust does not have a fast knockdown, it can take several days for insects to die after they contact the dust. Onslaught can be used for a faster knockdown. Thoroughly apply as a fine particle broadcast spray using a hand pump sprayer to infested rugs and carpets and other cracks and crevices around the perimeter of each room. Put all clothes through the dryer on high heat to help kill mites and their eggs.We have had many customers use the above recommendations with great success. Most customers report that it can take several months to get rid of all of the mites. Finding and removing the source of the infestation is very important and is the key to getting rid of the mites for good.
