    Red Mites all over my patio
    I have what looks like a major infestion of tiny red spider mites all over my patio. I get them every spring and have been trying to figure out what can kill them so that i can use my patio during the spring time. I heard TEMPO kills them on contact? Any help would be apprecited.

    Q
    How should you handle Tempo SC Ultra?
    My landlord gave me a bottle of tempo sc ultra to treat a bedbug problem in our Apt. My boyfriend has gone crazy with the stuff. Spraying every few day's in hopes of getting rid of the problem. I am worried for our safety breathing it in all the time.
    A
    Tempo SC Ultra should not be used any more often than every 7 days for bedbug control. We have linked the Tempo SC Ultra product label in this answer so you and your partner can learn how to use the product properly. Tempo SC Ultra is labeled only to use as a crack and crevice spray around the perimeter of the room. It is not labeled to be used on mattresses, furniture or other items that will be coming in prolonged skin contact. When Tempo SC Ultra is being applied only the applicator should be in the room. Everyone can return to the space after the application has dried and the room has been vented.  Over use of a product can cause insects to become resistant to the chemical you are using so care should be taken to follow the product label instructions.

    Q
    Can I use Tempo SC on petunias? Will it effect hummingbirds if they come to the treated plant?
    A
    Tempo SC Ultra is quite gentle on plants but we always recommend that you test the product on just one plant before you spray them all. Tempo SC should not harm hummingbirds as long as you apply it when they are not actively foraging in the area.

    Q
    Can Tempo SC Ultra be put in a pull behind tank sprayer?
    I have a pull behind tank sprayer that I use for liquid fertilizer. Can I mix and use the Tempo in this? Also if i do not use all that I mixed can I leave it in the tank sprayer to use approx. 3 months later ? I didn't know if it looses its effectiveness if it would sit mixed for any length of time?
    A
    You can apply Tempo SC Ultra using a pull behind tank sprayer. You should only mix what you can use at one time as you cannot leave Tempo sitting in a diluted solution for more than a day or two.

    Q
    Does tempo SC Ultra kill scorpions?

    Q
    Will Tempo help keep mice away?
    A
    Tempo SC Ultra does not contain anything that repel mice or any other animal. Tempo Sc Ultra is strictly an insecticide that is formulated to kill insects. We do carry a few rodent repellents such as Detour for Rodents, EVAC Rodent Repellent, and Detour Roadblocks for Rodents.

  • Asked by Jan from Corsicana, Tx
    06/28/2012
    Q
    If considered safe for pets and children, why not safe to use in pastures that may be grazed?
    There is a question relating to "only strong enough to kill small insects and should not harm animals" so I do not understand why product sprayed to kill grasshoppers would be dangerous in a possible grazing area.
    A
    People and our pets are not actually eating the items that are sprayed with Tempo SC Ultra. Incidental contact on dried treated surfaces is not the same as actually eating items that have been treated. Tempo has not been tested on edible vegetation. For more information you can contact the Tempo Sc Ultra manufacturer. You can reach Bayer by calling 800-331-2867.

    Q
    Can I spray tempo to kill potato bugs?
    A
    While Tempo Sc will certainly kill potato bugs it cannot be used on edible vegetation. Instead we recommend using Bayer Advanced Vegetable and Garden Spray which contains the same active ingredient as Tempo but a different formulation which allows you to use it on edible vegetation.

    Q
    Tempo sc ultra mixed with demand cs
    I'm thinking of mixing both products in a sprayer together 8 oz of each into 2 gallons of water. Or maybe spraying one product first then Coming back with the other slightly above each other. Thanks
    A
    Synthetic pyrethroids such as Tempo SC and Demand CS are the man-made versions of natural pyrethrin insecticides such as Exciter or Pyganic Pro. There is no valid reason to mix Tempo SC and Demand CS together, it would not make either product work better or produce better results, though it could make treated areas repellent to bedbugs lessening the effectiveness of the treatment. You should choose one product, read the product label and follow it closely.

    Q
    Does Tempo SC Ultra work on spider eggs?
    I understand that it will kill the spiders already there, but the eggs are our problem because I vacuum up all the spiders and in a few days the house is full again!
    A
    There are no insecticides that will kill spider eggs. Spiders eggs are in a protected shell (much like a chicken egg) and will remain unaffected by insecticides. That being said, as spiders hatch they will walk through the residual and be killed by the Tempo SC. Be sure you are spraying all of your window and door frames, baseboards and also around the exterior of your home to stop new spiders from moving in and also to kill other insects that spiders can prey on. By helping to remove the food source you will also be removing the spiders motivation from moving in to your home.

    Q
    How do I get rid of Ground Wasps? Regular wasp sprays don't phase them.
    A
    If you know where the nest is you can use a dust such as Tempo dust puffed into the nest using a hand duster and around the opening of the nest. This type of application usually will kill the nest of wasps over the course of a few days.
