Tempo SC Ultra has a residual of 30 days outdoors and 90 days indoors.
You should use any diluted Tempo SC Ultra within 24 hours of mixing. If your spraying is interrupted, then be sure to agitate the tank before finishing your spraying. Solutions left in your sprayer may leave residue that can damage the sprayer or interfere with future applications, and the active ingredient will break down sitting in dilution. You should use up your diluted solution outside and then rinse your tank before allowing it to dry and be stored.
We would recommend waiting until Tempo SC Ultra has dried completely before watering your garden. Tempo SC Ultra is mixed with water and can be used on flowers, bushes, trees, etc. This product cannot be used on any type of edibles.
Tempo SC Ultra works well on spiders as do most of our liquid concentrate sprays. If a spider is present when you spray, it will die very quickly. This product will leave a 30 - 60 day residual, so you should apply every 30 - 60 day's based on activity that you see.
We highly recommend that when applying or mixing Tempo SC Ultra that you wear chemical resistant gloves. If you happen to get some on your hands, the MSDS indicates that you should wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, using the toilet or applying cosmetics.
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.
Once mixed, Tempo SC Ultra and any other product on the market needs to be used within 24-48 hours at the most. If you do not think you will need a full gallon of solution for your needs then you can cut the amount of water and dilution rate down for your needs. Always try to mix up only what you will need at a time. Anything left over can be poured directly into the soil next to the structure for disposal.
