    Q
    How long does it take wood ticks to die once a yard has been treated with Tempo SC Ultra?
    We live in the country I have never seen wood ticks so bad as they are this year. I sprayed Tempo in the immediate yard and the perimeter of the yard along the grass lines and the tree lines, is this sufficient to kill them and how long does it take before it takes effect? By the way Tempo is a great product. I've been using it for years I have no spiders and mosquitoes are kept at a minimum.
    A

    How long it takes the ticks to die after they come into contact with a treated area will depend on a number of factors. It will depend on the maturity of the tick as well as how long they stayed on the treated area, how long it has been since the area was treated and the concentration that was used to treat the area. Typically it can take anywhere from a couple of hours to a day or so for them to die. It can take several weeks for you to stop seeing ticks indoors because the ticks like to stay hidden which also means they could be staying out of treated areas and eggs may hatch out prolonging the infestation. We recommend doing follow up treatments every two weeks at the highest usage rate of 16 ml of Tempo SC Ultra per gallon of water

    Q
    Will Tempo SC Ultra harm my bearded dragon?
    A

    Tempo SC Ultra is safe when used as directed on the product label.   The bearded dragons just need to be out of the area while it is being sprayed, and until the product dries.  Do not apply to areas in and around any cages.  This product is only strong enough to kill small insects, and would have no effect on animals when used correctly.

    Q
    How would I apply the Tempo SC Ultra to large ash trees to kill emerald ash borer beetle?
    If not could you suggest a liquid that could work?
    A

    Unfortunately, Tempo SC Ultra is not labeled to treat for emerald ash borer beetles. We would recommend a systemic product like Annual Tree & Shrub Insect Control Concentrate. According to the product label, this product quickly dissolves in water allowing the insecticide to move through the soil into the root zone. Once in the roots, the insecticide moves up through the tree providing year-long insect control. This product will also provide control to new growth. Drench applications to individual trees will control emerald ash borers. For foliar applications mix 1.5 tsp of this product per 1 gallon of water.

    Q
    Can I spray Tempo SC Ultra to kill potato bugs?

    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
    Can Tempo SC be tank mixed with 2-4,D products?
    A

    While you can potentially mix an insecticide such as Tempo SC Ultra with an herbicide like 2,4-D, be sure that you are needing to apply these products in the same areas before mixing and spraying. We always recommend you do a small jar test for compatability when mixing products for the first time before you mix a full tank.

    Q
    Is Tempo SC Ultra suitable for wasps found in the void of the wall?
    Is there a three-month residual effect?
    A
    Tempo SC Ultra can be applied in a wall void, but dust products are much better suited for flying insects. Our most popular dust  for bees/wasp is Tempo Dust.  You will need a hand duster to apply it with.  It usually works within 24 to 48 hours. You want to go up to the opening where they are flying in and out of at dusk or at night when they are not active and puff twice directly into the hole.  Then pull the duster out and puff directly at the hole to cover the opening from about 5 inches away.  This is the most efficient and fastest way to eliminate a bee/yellow jacket/wasp nest.
