Tempo SC Ultra is a concentrated water based liquid insecticide that will need to be mixed with water while the Tempo Ultra WP is a wettable powder that will need to be mixed with water. Both products contain the same active ingredient and will provide similar results. Tempo WP will do a better job on porous surfaces as it will stay on the surface and be more available to insects. Tempo Sc on the other hand will dry clear and will not leave behind the powdery residue that Tempo WP can.

Q

Can you explain the difference in the two active ingredients or the pros/cons of both Cyper WP and Tempo Ultra WP?
I see you often recommend Cyper WP (Cypermethrin 40.0%) for spider problems. The reviews on Tempo Ultra WP (Cyfluthrin 10%) seem to be very good regarding spider and scorpion killing power. Can you explain the difference in the two active ingredients or the pros/cons of both?

Q

Can Tempo Ultra WP be applied to the deck and brick without staining?
I have a deck made of Trex that is a favorite hiding place for wasps and hornets.

A

Because Tempo Ultra WP is a wettable powder, you may notice a slight white residue left behind after it dries, especially on darker surfaces. You may want to consider using Tempo SC Ultra instead, which is a liquid concentrate that will form a clear solution that will not leave a residue.
