    Q
    Can I spray Tempo on outdoor plants to keep the grasshoppers off of them?
    I am really having a problem with grasshopper eating my outdoor plants. I just want to make sure that it is ok to spray the plants with Tempo Sc Ultra.
    A

    Yes, Tempo SC will kill grasshoppers and it will leave a residual of about 4 weeks outdoors and about 3 months indoors. Be sure to read and follow the product label to be sure you are using the correct concentration in the areas you need to treat. It should not be applied to edible plants. Please let us know if you need anything else. We are always happy to help!

  • Asked by Sandra from Cairo, Georgia
    06/05/2014
    Q
    Can tempo be mixed with an oil base exterior paint to prevent carpenter bee?
    A
    We apologize but the Tempo SC ultra is not labeled to be used mixed with paint and we are unsure of the results if you were to do so outside of the product label instructions. We are unaware of any products currently on the market that we carry that can be mixed with paint for insect control. Your best method would be to spray the surfaces they are congregating regularly throughout the season with Cyonara 9.7. Or you can check our complete Carpenter Bee Kits.

  • Asked by Jim from Hampton Nh
    06/03/2014
    Q
    Can Tempo SC Ultra used in a gas powered back pack sprayer for mosquito control?
    Instructions don't answer this question specifically, It does say "mist" application is acceptable, but not "fog" application. Not sure what the difference is.
    A
    Yes the Tempo SC Ultra can be used in any tank mix applicator such as a hand pump sprayer, backpack sprayer, or battery/gas powered sprayer or mist blower. It cannot be used in a true fogger like a ULV or thermal fogger that requires very specific fogging concentrates like the Commander Tri-Jet fogger we carry.

    Q
    Is it safe to apply Tempo SC Ultra to the actual water in a swimming pool?
    My swimming pool has a major bee problem, and its also above ground so there's no concrete to spray around the pool. I also did not have any luck finding any bee nests.
    A
    No, the tempo-sc-ultra is not labeled for and should not be used in your swimming pool water. However, Tempo SC Ultra can be used to spray around the pool.

  • Asked by Jeff from Hines Minnesota
    05/25/2014
    Q
    Does Tempo SC Ultra provide yard control for mosquitoes?
    A
    Yes, the Tempo SC Ultra is labeled for mosquito control in the yard. Focus sprays on prime breeding areas for the mosquitoes like shady or moist areas or heavy foliage to acheive the best control. You can also mix an IGR like Pivot into the mix with the Tempo for even better control as this will sterilize the moquitoes.

    Q
    I have heard that Tempo is great for killing bedbugs and bed bug eggs. Is this true?
    A

    Tempo SC Ultra is not labeled to kill bed bugs.Our bedbug kits come with all top of the line products that are available on the market today, along with instructions to follow. When applied properly, our kits have a very high success rate. We recommend reading our article on How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs for more information on a treatment program using the products and non-chemical efforts.

    Normally, you want to mix 8 ml-16 ml of Tempo concentrate into one (1) gallon of water. So you want to mix approx. 48 ML or 1 1/2 oz Tempo SC Ultra into 6 gallons water.

    Q
    Is it okay to mix Tempo SC with Phantom or should they be sprayed in different areas?
    A
    You cannot mix Tempo SC Ultra and Phantom together. By mixing Tempo SC Ultra with Phantom you would be essentially removing the non-repellent factor of Phantom as well as the delayed reaction kill time which makes the product so effective.

  • Asked by Lisa from Henderson, Nv

    Q
    What's the difference between Tempo SC Ultra and Suspend SC?
    I've skimmed through both product labels and looked online and can't seem to find much of a difference between the two. I purchased the pint of Suspend SC last year and just purchased the Tempo SC ULtra and was surprised to find that it's only 8 oz. (That's my fault for not looking at the size before I ordered) I was wondering what the difference between the two is though, since the Tempo costs twice what the Suspend does. I'm using the product to treat mainly for scorpions. Thank you for any info!
    A
    Tempo SC Ultra contains beta-Cyfluthrin 11.8%, whereas Suspend SC contains Deltamethrin 4.75%. These active ingredients are different, which affects the rate at which you would dilute them before application. Tempo SC Ultra may come in a smaller bottle than Suspend SC, but you need half as much to mix in a gallon of water. Tempo SC is diluted .5 oz (16mL) to 1 gallon of water and Suspend SC is diluted 1 oz to 1 gallon of water. They are both great for general insecticides, but are different in their makeup.

    Q
    What is the Half Life of Tempo SC Ultra Insecticide
    I am having a roach problem and have had it for two years. The Pest Control Co. I have had for the two years insists that spraying around and in the home every 3 months should do the job. The Chemicals used : Mother Earth Scatter Bait - Phantom SC 0.5% - Prelude EC 0.05% and recently - Tempo SC Ultra Insecticide. After checking into a Prelude's half life I am concern and wonder about the 3 mo. intervals on the rest. Please respond, I need your opinion.
    A
    Tempo SC Ultra has a resiudual of 3 months indoors. However, a key part of eradiacting roaches is to incorporate a roach  bait. A great roach bait to use is Vendetta Plus. Vendetta Plus is an effective cockroach bait, plus, it contains the insect growth regulator (IGR) NyGuard which interrupts the life cycle of the roach and helps to prevent future infestations.

  • Asked by Kea from Kansas City, Mo

    Q
    Is Tempo SC the best product to use for carpet beetle?
    I've had an exterminator spray my apartment 2 times for carpet beetles. Not sure what product they are using but live beetles are still being found. Is this the best product to use to take care of them myself?
    A

    Tempo SC Ultra will kill carpet beetles that come in contact with it, but Tempo SC Ultra is really designed as a crack and crevice spray. You could use Nyguard Plus, which is safe to use on carpets. Please be sure to keep these tips in mind as well.

    Carpet beetle larvae like to feed in dark, undisturbed locations like closets, attics, basements, and storage areas. The wide availability of food sources for the larvae (including dust and lint, and pet hair) makes vacuuming the best way to ensure there is minimal food for the larvae to feed on. Vacuuming can also help to remove the larvae and adult beetles already in the home. Regular vacuuming and laundering of rugs, furniture, and linens can help to ensure the beetles are removed and have no food source. If you find a contaminated item, bag and remove this item from your home, if possible.

    • Proper storage: Before storing silks, woolens, or furs, dry clean as the beetles are attracted to stains and soiled garments. Store in a well-sealed container, using mothballs. Mothballs can limit the beetle’s attraction to the wool or silk. Store pet food, dried meat, and other dried animal products in a well-sealed container.

    • Insecticides: For things that cannot be washed or dry cleaned, insecticides are the best bet for prevention and eradication.

    Insecticides can be used for spot-treatments, as a boundary at the edges of rugs, under rugs, under furniture, walls and floors of closets, shelving, cracks, and lint or dust accumulating areas. Be careful around oriental rugs or other fabrics, as some insecticides can stain. Never spray clothing or bedding with insecticide, and always read instructions.
