Because Tempo Ultra WP is a wettable powder, you may notice a slight white residue left behind after it dries, especially on darker surfaces. If this is a concern, you may want to consider using Tempo SC Ultra instead, which is a liquid concentrate which forms a clear solution and will not leave a residue.
Tempo Ultra WP should be applied when rain is not expected within 24 hours of application.
The Tempo Ultra WP does come with a scoop spoon provided inside the container.
No, Tempo Ultra WP is not labeled to be used in greenhouses or nurseries. We would need to know what type of plants are being grown in the greenhouse. Tropical, ornamentals, vegetables, etc require different product recommendations. Please contact one of our representatives at 1-866-581-7378 Mon-Fri 9am-5pm EST.

Tempo Ultra WP can be used to treat fire ant mounds. Per the product label, you will use 4 scoops per gallon of water. Thoroughly drench or inject the entire mound. When using injection treatment, you must treat to the bottom of the mound. Apply dilution or foam using a downward and upward motion of the injector tool. For complete distribution, inject in several points throughout the mound. Treat new mounds as they appear.
Tempo Ultra WP could be used around the home for scorpions and will do a good job killing them. Be aware it is not a repellent so will not keep insects from getting in, but instead will provide a long residual to continue to kill those insects that contact a treated area. The only way to keep insects out for sure is to seal up all cracks and crevices that allow them access inside. Cyper WP is also still available just in the packet form of Cyper WSP.
Yes, Tempo Ultra WP will kill any wasps that come into contact with a treated area. Please take a look at our Wasp Control Guide for more information on treating and preventing this pest.
While we cannot comment on the treatment performed by a pest control operator, Tempo Ultra WP will work for stinkbugs. Stinkbugs are not listed on the product label of most insecticides yet because they have only started becoming a problem for homeowners and property owners in recent years. Be sure to spray eaves, soffits, window frames, door frames, areas where cables, pipes or wires enter into the structure and any other crack, crevice or gap where insects can harbor. We also recommend starting applications in early August to prevent having the stink bugs move in with you and sealing up as many cracks, crevices and gaps as possible.
Tempo Ultra WP is labeled for deer ticks and should do a great job eliminating this pest for you. You can find the directions for treating your yard for fleas on the product label.
Tempo Ultra WP is not labeled for rodent mites. The easiest method to control rodent mites that have entered your home is to physically remove them with a vacuum cleaner or wipe them up with a moist cloth. Mites are not automatically killed by a vacuum cleaner so freeze the bag to prevent the mites from crawling back out.
Locating the source and eliminating the hosts and nests is important to prevent further problems with these mites. Nests are usually located in attics, basements, or inside walls. If necessary, trap them with kill traps or glue boards. Spray the dead rat and its nest with a disinfectant.
Removing the mite source (dead mice, rats, and abandoned nests) is very important. Unless you remove their source, rat mites will continue to seek human host infesting your house.
After using Tempo Ultra WP you can wash away the residual with hot soapy water, then once it dries, it will be fine to replace the food in the pantry.
Tempo Ultra WP does not contain any herbicide. It is safe to apply on Lawns, Landscaping Ornamental Plants, Shrubs & Trees, and others. Please see the label for full application instructions.
Each scoop of Tempo Ultra WP is 5 grams. If you go at the lower rate of 2 scoops, you would get 42 gallons of finished solution & at the higher rate of 4 scoops per gallon, you would get 21 gallons of finished solution.

Tempo Ultra WP can be used in a pressurized sprayer or a back pack mist blower but it cannot be used in a misting system or fogger.
Tempo Ultra WP is a great insecticide for spiders as well as the insects that they feed on that would be in high numbers around a home on the water. You can use 2-4 scoops per gallon of water based on your level of spider infestation around the structure, either will work effectively and the higher rate will last a little longer per treatment.
