    Q
    Will this kill springtails?
    I've never had springtails in my home. I use Bifen I/T. I love Bifen I/T, it kills everything but it will not kill the springtails in my home. What do you recommend for springtails?
    A
    Temprid FX Insecticide is labeled for springtails, we recommend following our guide on how to control springtails. Keep in mind that springtails are a sign of moisture, so they will not be eradicated until the moisture is taken care of.

    Q
    Do roaches and bedbugs get immune to this? A bottle will last me 2-3 years.
    If so, how often do I need to rotate sprays and which should I rotate with?
    A
    Since Temprid FX Insecticide is a dual mode of action insecticide, it is less likely to develop a resistance than other insecticides. We would suggest rotating at least every 12 months or when a decrease in effectiveness occurs.

    Q
    How do i mix Temprid FX using a hose end sprayer for 5,000 sq ft uard?
    A
    Temprid FX is best applied with a tank sprayer over a hose end as they are not very accurate and  you cannot be sure of how much is actually being applied.  You will mix 8-16 ml (0.27-0.54 fl oz) per gallon of water.  If your hose end can be set to that you can try to use.

    Q
    How effective is Temprid FX Insecticide for bed bugs?
    I have order some eco raider from Amazon and it work for a little while.I don't have money to keep wasting on stuff that don't work I have already spent to much money
    A

    Bed bugs require a combination of products and dilegent repeat treatments every 7 days until you can go 30 days without seeing any signs of bed bugs. Using a spray alone is not going to eliminate them as you are not able to treat the tiny cracks and crevices bed bugs hide.

    The best treatment for Bed Bugs would be with one of our Bed Bug Kits that contain the top professional grade products to fully treat your home. These professional grade products have all undergone testing to ensure that they are effective when used as directed and for the required time it takes to eliminate the pest.

  • Asked by Jim from Salam Wv
    04/05/2022
    Q
    Will Temprid FX Insecticide get rid of the 1000's of flies all over my house and deck ?
    A

    Temprid FX Insecticide is labeled for flies outdoors and will help provide residual control as flies land on treated surfaces. 

    In addition to a residual insecticide on the exterior perimeter of the home and landscape beds, fly baits are very effective to reducing fly populations. Disposable Fly Bait Stations are great for luring and trapping flies away from the home. Fly Bait Sprays are better for direct spray/paint on applications to walls, windows, under bannisters & railings, pillars, etc where flies are known to congregate.

    Q
    If leather snowboots were slightly sprayed with Temprid FX while doing a bed bug treatment in my home, do I need to throw them out or will they be okay for next winter?
    I have thick leather snow boots, I slightly sprayed the bottom of both boots when spraying for bedbugs. If I leave the boots unworn until next winter will the pesticide ever come out? They are expensive boots, it would be devastating to throw them away
    A

    Temprid FX Insecticide that has been accidentially sprayed to boots, shoes or other non target clothing items should be wiped and clean with an approved cleaner for that item.

    Per the product label, any contaminted clothing should be removed immediately and washed before reusing or wearing again.

    Q
    Will steam cleaning carpets and floors remove residue from Temprid FX Insecticide?
    We sprayed Temprid FX in our home several times this month to eliminate bed bugs. We are no longer getting bit and I have young children so I would like to remove the residue of the multiple applications of Temprid. Will a carpet cleaner help remove the pesticide?
    A

    Yes, steam cleaning would remove any remaining residue of Temprid FX Insecticide. 

    Temprid FX Insecticide cannot and should not be applied as broadcast spray applications over entire carpeting and flooring. Per the product label, apply as a crack and crevice spray application along baseboards, along carpet edges, around window and door trims, moldings, beneath floor coverings and carpets, closets, shelves, curtains, furniture and picture frames.

    Q
    Can Temprid FX be applied a few days later after applying Raid for bedbugs?
    Raid Active Ingredients: Chlothianidin .40%, Methofluthrin .01% and Piperonyl Butoxide Ether and Related Compounds 1% Raid was bought on Amazon for DIY's.
    A

    Typically you would not apply another insecticide such as Temprid FX Insecticide over an area already treated with another insecticide for at least 30 days. 

    We would recommend waiting 30 days to treat with Temprid FX in the same areas where the other product was applied.

    Q
    Can I apply Temprid FX on top of areas where I've applied Diatomaceous Earth?
    A

    No, it is recommended to apply Temprid FX or any liquid insecticide prior to applying any type of insecticide dust. Once the liquid spray application has dried, you can follow behind and apply the insecticide dust or DE. 

    Dust applicaitons are best applied using a Hand Duster to reach deep into cracks and crevices along baseboards, under cabients, behind outlets, around plumbing and other inaccessible areas.

    View our How to Apply Dust Video for more information.

  • Asked by Th from New Jersey
    12/14/2021
    Q
    What are the effects if some Temprid FX stays on the skin and if it's inhaled for awhile?
    I used a very flimsy mask while applying the spray, and after some time, it made me very lightheaded. Also, some spray got on my forehead. I wiped it off with a wet towel but didn't really rinse. I probably got some on my wrist as it dripped from my glove. This happened several hours ago, so I'm asking about its effects on people, not about the immediate action to take because it's too late.
    A

    If you have gotten Temprid FX Insecticide or any insecticide on your skin, the proper steps are to immediately take off contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. The product label advises that to contact a physician or poison control center immediately and be sure to let them know you also inhaled the product for assistance.

    Please have the product label and SDS Sheet available for additional safety information on the product.

    Q
    Does Temprid FX Insecticide create toxic vapor/fume?
    When we treated the kitchen with Temprid FX, the only area we sprayed was the baseboards and we opened the windows to help air it out for ~ 5 hours. We left apples, garlic, onions baskets and potted herbs on the countertop. They were further away from the baseboards so the spray wouldn't get on them but we are wondering about the vapor released into the air while it was drying. Should we throw them away? Should we wash all kitchen wares? Or only those that are not in the cupboards?
    A

    Temprid FX does not release toxic vapors or fumes into the air. You would only need to throw away food or wash utensils if any came in contact with the product.

  • Asked by Vanessa from Tullahoma
    11/10/2021
    Q
    I applied Temprid FX Insecticide at the rate of 16ml per gallon of water both inside and outside my home, why am I still seeing roaches 4 days later?
    A

    It is normal to still see roaches once treatments begin using Temprid FX. This insecticide contains two active ingredients that offer a quickdown but also a non repellent residual that goes undetected as roaches cross the treated areas. This non repellency quality allows roaches to transfer the active ingredient throughout the colony.

    Eliminating roaches is not a quick treatment depending how severe the infestation is. Repeat treatments will be required and Temprid FX should not be the sole product used.  When dealing with a roach infestation, you will need to be sure to eliminate the food and water source for the roaches and use an insecticide (Temprid FX), a roach gel bait, and an insect growth regulator (IGR) labeled for roaches to completely eradicate the population.

    Please take a moment to review our Roach Control Kits and Treatment Guide for step by step instructions on how to eliminate a roach infestation.

  • Asked by Christine from Murrieta, Ca
    09/11/2021
    Q
    How fast does Temprid FX kill bed bugs?
    When bed bugs come into contact with Temprid FX, how fast does it kill them?
    A

    Temprid FX Insecticide uses two active ingredients for a dual mode of action for insects. Once the bed bugs have crossed the treated area, the beta Cyfluthrin and Imidacloprid start working together immediately to attack the nerves and stop normal nerve transmittal signals throughout the the insect. The exact kill time of how long it takes, we are not able to determine. It may take a few hours up to 24 or more depending on a few factors.

    Bed Bugs do require a combination of products to fully eradicate and repeat treatments every 7-10 days until you can go 30 days without seeing any signs of bed bugs, bites or skin casings. Please review our How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs Treatment Guide and Bed Bug Kits for all the necessary products to eradicate.
