It is useless it does not kill roaches at all they dance on it. Please recommend me some thing effective for roach extermination. Thank you.
Expert response:
Don't be discouraged! Tempo SC is a great product but it is only one part of a roach control program. Tempo SC is not getting to all of those roaches that stay hidden and are likely reproducing. It also does not kill on contact, so you will not see instant results even if a roach is sprayed directly. Tempo SC will only kill roaches that walk over treated areas and receive a lethal does of the product. Please take a few moments to read over our How to Treat for roaches Guide to learn how to implement a successful roach control program. You will need to include a Roach bait and an insect growth regulator along with non chemical steps in order to control the roaches. (Please copy and paste the link into your browser)

poor roach killer
By Aptman14 on 09/15/2013
I used on heavy roach infestation in rental apartment and also on light infestation in my home (Los Angeles-summer 2013) This is a poor roach killer It kills maybe 50-60 % of the roaches on contact and the rest keep moving and persist several days after. I used a second application, but the results were the same. In contrast Raid Max kills 100% on contact. I can't recommend this product for roach control

Won't buy again
By April on 07/12/2012
The instructions are poorly written. No instructions at all on how to use the weird bottle it comes in. Don't try to call the 1-800 number for help because they keep bankers hours and are not available when people would actually be working outside in their yards. Not going to comment in the actual product because I just poured some in the sprayer and mixed it up. I'm sure it wasn't mixed with the right proportions due to complicated bottle and horrible "instructions".

Dissapointed
By Mm on 11/12/2015
I bought this in hopes that it would help repel Asian beetles (ladybugs). I followed the directions and sprayed it along the problem areas of my home. Unfortunately it didn't work. It only kills ladybugs if they are directly sprayed. It does NOT repel them. I had ladybugs covering the south side of my house on the exact areas I had sprayed just 24 hours earlier. Also, The ladybugs don't die immediately when sprayed. The day after spraying I noticed green stains all over my house. It was obviously ladybug excrement from where they were stressed by the chemical before dying. Now I need to have my house pressure wash to remove the stains. I've ordered a lot of products from domyownpestcontrol.com and been please with easy purchase, UNTIL now. This product did not do what I wanted it to do. Now I have a bigger mess that I did before I started.
Expert response:
We apologize you did not receive the expected results. Tempo SC Ultra is not labeled to be an insect repellent nor contact kill insecticide. Tempo SC is meant to be used as a residual insecticide. This means that it typically takes 24-72 hours to kill insects that crawl over treated surfaces. Please let us know if you have any further questions. We are always happy to help.

Tempo SC Ultra for Yellow Jackets
By Matthew on 10/01/2017
Tempo SC Ultra was used by me to fight an infestation of Yellow Jackets. This product had absolutely no effect on these wasps and they acted as if they were being sprayed with pure water. I cannot vouch for this product's effectiveness on other insects but do not waste your time and money using it on Yellow Jackets.

The absolute worst
By Rodney on 08/04/2019
Wouldn't let me give zero stars.i tried mixing by instructions didn't kill anything. Then I doubled recipe. Only thing I got was double the roach population. Sure y'all have me the right bottle if I kill anything with this crap I have to catch it put in bottle close lid for at Least 25 hours and Shazam. Bottle water will do the same thing which is what I believe is what I got

Confused
By Marquito on 08/02/2019
I purchased this stuff after reading what all this do. Well let me be the first this stuff has literally brought bugs to surface and does not do the job I expected to do. I would not recommend this product to any one else. I followed the Instructions and this stuff has not killed a thing. I have purchased products from this site in the past and this Is by far the worst product that does not do what the reviews says it does... SAVE YOUR MONEY.........

Doesn't work
By Dorothy on 09/18/2020
Never tried the Tempo SC Ultra
By Kwasny on 10/02/2020
The shipping time was so long that I killed the hornets with multiple times of over the counter spraying. Never opened the bottle. I will save it next year. I can't determine if Tempo will work or worth the money. Sorry that's just the truth.

No luck
By Patrick on 08/04/2021
????????
By C. on 10/14/2022
I was very disappointed with this product. I just recently discovered that I had roaches in my house. I have never had them and I didn't want to waste my money on over the counter stuff. So I bought this product expecting to eradicate the roach population in my small cabin. That is not the case though. I mixed it exactly as directed for indoor and then for outdoor use. I even sprayed some directly and they would stop for a minute or two then they would take off like nothing happened. I found that drowning them with the spray was the only way I could kill them. So I went back to the outdoor store and bought some more otc spray ??
