    Q
    Does Tempo SC Ultra work for bed bugs?
    We travel and want to use something as a preventive.
    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.

    Q
    Is Tempo SC Ultra resistant to rain?
    I will be spraying my siding for stink bugs, and it will have time to dry. It will eventually rain. Since it is water based, will it just wash away? If so, can you recommend another product?
    A
    Tempo SC Ultra will hold up to rain just fine.  All of the professional grade liquid products that we sell are made to stick to porous surfaces.  What really breaks down the residual of products is UV sunlight.  The side of your home that is in direct sunlight most of the day is much more of an issue than rain.  Since stink bugs are so bad right now, we are recommending treating every 3 to 4 weeks with Tempo SC Ultra.  Typically, Tempo SC Ultra should last a good 60 days around most parts of your home.

    09/21/2010
    Q
    How long does it take to kill stink bugs with Tempo SC Ultra?
    A
    How long it takes to eliminate the stinkbug after they come into contact Tempo SC Ultra will depend on a couple of different factors. The longer the Tempo SC Ultra has been in place, the longer it takes the insect to die. For instance, if a stinkbug were to land on an area that had been treated within a day or so the insect would be dead within a few hours. If another insect were to contact that same area a couple of weeks later, it could take 24 hours for it to die. Another factor is how long the insect stays on the treated area. The insect has to be there long enough to pick up a lethal dose which could take several minutes or longer depending how long the product has been in place. You should treat once a month through November for the best results.

    Q
    Will Tempo SC Ultra deter mosquitoes?
    If sprayed Tempo SC the on lawn, trees, patio, and surrounding vegetation, will I see less skeeters?
    A

    Tempo SC will not actually repel mosquitoes, but using it in target areas will help reduce the number of mosquitoes in your yard. Tempo SC Ultra should be sprayed on the underside of leaves on trees and bushes to help control mosquitoes. Mosquitoes like to hide on the underside of leaves during the heat of the day so spraying there will help the mosquitoes come into contact with the Tempo SC.

    Q
    Tempo SC Ultra was recommended to kill/control stinkbugs. Does it kill stinkbugs?
    I live in Virginia. In early September a very, very large number of stinkbugs will collect on our house. I want to kill as many as possible.
    A
    Yes, Tempo SC Ultra will work for stinkbugs.  Stinkbugs are not listed on the label of most insecticides yet because they have only started becoming a problem for homeowners and property owners in recent years. Be sure to spray eaves, soffits, window frames, door frames, areas where cables, pipes or wires enter into the structure and any other crack, crevice or gap where insects can harbor. We also recommend starting applications in early August to prevent having the stink bugs move in with you and sealing up as many cracks, crevces and gaps as possible.

    Q
    Which product is better for general around use? Tempo SC or Cy-Kick CS?
    Which product is better for general around use? Tempo SC or Cy-Kick CS.
    A
    We could not really answer that question because both are very popular and they basically treat the same pests and are applied the same way.  We sell the same amount of both products and the customer feedback is outstanding on both products.  It comes down to personal preference.  Our philosophy is that if you have used one or the other in the past with good results, then you should continue to use that one.  Please be sure to read our customer reviews on the product pages.  Who better to recommend a product than our actual customers using it in the real world.

    Q
    Springtails control - which product is better at control/eliminating them - Tempo SC or Mavrik?
    Seem to have springtails around windows, bathrooms, and kitchen sink. I have been trying to ensure that outside is staying dry and clear - but continue to see inside
    A
    Tempo SC Ultra is definitely more popular when it comes to springtail control.  You can apply Tempo SC Ultra inside the house and outside the house, and in any area where you have high moisture content which is where springtails breed.  However, to completely get rid of springtails you have to eliminate the moisture issue.

    Q
    Can you apply Tempo SC Ultra to lawn areas with a backpack mister such as a Stihl sr420 or a solo 444?
    A
    No. The Tempo SC Ultra product label does not have any directions in regards to using the product in a mister/blower application. We recommend using Tempo SC Ultra in a regular pump sprayer.
