    Q
    How do we treat for bees around our pool?
    I need something that will leave a residue to fend them off, yet, not stain concrete
    A
    To treat bees around your pool, you want to use a product like Tempo SC Ultra. Tempo SC Ultra will leave a non staining residual in areas treated around your pool. Please keep on mind that this product will kill the bees when they come in contact with the treated areas, but will not stop them from entering. Bees/wasp are attracting to water, because they are looking for water.

    Q
    Will Tempo SC Ultra kill squash bugs on Pumpkin plants?
    I have the dreaded squash bug and need a somthing that will knock them out and not harm my plants. It would be great if it would knock out cucumber beetles too!
    A
    Tempo is not labeled for that use. We have many products that can be used in/on pumpkin and squash plants. For example, Bayer Advanced Fruit, Citrus, veggie Concentrate is labeled to treat cucumber beetles, but not squash bug. We recommend contacting your local Master Gardener at Your local Cooperative Extension Office for advice on which products are working to treat squash bug in your area.

    Q
    How long does Tempo take to work?
    A
    You didn't specify what insect you are using the Tempo to treat for, so we cannot give you an exact answer. The time it takes to eliminate an insect is determined by multiple factors: how long did the insect stay on a surface that is treated with Tempo? How healthy is the insect? How large is the colony? All of these play a factor in how long it will take for you to see a drop in the population of insects in your yard and around your home. It can take weeks and even up to months to eradicate the entire colony depending on the insect. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Asked by Miranda from Bricelyn, Mn
    07/05/2013
    Q
    How do I know if I put enough Tempo SC in my yard to get rid of Mosquitoes?
    A
    If you used the Tempo SC at the rate of 8ml per gallon of water and treated the harborage areas until wet, but not dripping then you have applied it for sufficient coverage. Make sure when treating for mosquitoes you are spraying in the foliage of neighboring trees, bushes and ornamentals as well as moist areas of your lawn where they will tend to lay their eggs. Tempo is a residual product and will last at least 30 days outdoors so only spray in monthly intervals. It can take several weeks for you to see a noticeable drop in the population so make sure you give the product plenty of time to work and bring the activity down to a tolerable level. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Asked by Robert from Dallas Tx
    07/04/2013
    Q
    What is the best micro capsule insecticide
    What insecticide has more knock down power
    A
    That all depends on what you are targeting. One of our best microencapsulated products is Tempo SC Ultra. The active ingredient in TEMPO SC Ultra is beta-cyfluthrin, which is powerful against pests with no odor and less visible residue. TEMPO SC delivers the power of a powder formulation in a liquid, and allows for more even disbursement during application. Tempo SC Ultra effectively controls a broad spectrum of indoor, outdoor, and turf and ornamental pests.

  • Asked by Th from Springfield, Va

    Q
    Will Tempo SC Ultra hurt my cat when she grooms herself?
    Our exterminator sprayed inside the house along the baseboards and windowsills. When my cat is in the window or laying alongside the baseboard will she pick up the residual poison and ingest that when she licks her fur to groom? I'm regretting letting him talk me into spraying inside. He told me it was very safe around pets but then he didn't tell us to stay out of the room while he was spraying. How do I clean it off where he sprayed and get rid of it if I decide it's too risky?
    A
    Tempo SC Ultra  is safe around pets. Yes, the pet should not re enter the room until the treated area has dried. If you decide you want to clean the treated area, you want to use hot water and soap to remove the chemical.

    Q
    Tempo SC was left in the garage this winter. will it still be effective after freezing temp.?
    A
    It is not recommended to leave any type of chemical in areas where they could freeze or over heat because of the potential for the chemical to break down. According to the manufacturer, as long as the Tempo SC Ultra was only exposed to sub freezing temperatures for a short period of time and the product looks exactly the same as before it was exposed, it should be fine.

  • Asked by Bill from Oklahoma City , Ok
    06/12/2013
    Q
    Will Tempo SC Ultra work for Termites?
    Have been searching the questions and haven't found any questions about using Tempo for killing termites. I want to treat the foundation to kill termites showing up in an older house with a crawl space.
    A
    We can tell you that for termites we almost always recommend Termidor SC. Termidor has a different active ingredient than Tempo SC Ultra and this active ingredient allows the ants or termites to pick the product up on their bodies and move it back to the nest and spread it to the other insects. Tempo on the other hand will only kill the insects that come into direct contact with treated surfaces. Also Termidor will last about twice as long as Tempo when used as a termite barrier in a trenching treatment. Please let us know if you have more questions about Tempo vs Termidor.

    06/10/2013
    Q
    what is the difference between bifenthrin and tempo sc
    A
    Tempo SC is a suspension concentrate that delivers the power of a powder formulation in a liquid. It's easy to use too-less messy to handle, needs less agitation and is more evenly dispersed during application than other products. Tempo SC Ultra has no odor, is non-staining, and has a long lasting residual of up to 3 months. Where as Bifen IT and other Bifenthrin generics control over 75 common insect pests, including termites. Bifen can be used as an indoor and outdoor pest control, turf and ornamental application, and for treating pests in food-handling areas. Both Talstar One and Bifen I/T contain microcrystals that do not break down easily with rain once they bond to surfaces. Both Talstar One and Bifen IT are clear substances that leave no stains on painted surfaces.

    Q
    Is Tempo SC Ultra recommended for termites or should I go with the Termidor SC?
    A
    Termidor is the top rated product for termite control on the market today. The only time Temp should be used is if you are directly treating a known nest. Tempo should not be used to prevent termites.
