    Q
    Can Temprid FX be applied to an outside structure while actively raining?
    A

    While the label does not specifically state not to apply when raining, for best results, Temprid FX Insecticide should not be applied during rain. It could be washed away before having time to dry. It is recommended to treat when you are not expecting rainfall within 24 hrs.

    Q
    What roach spray is best and safe to use indoors around pets?
    A

    Temprid FX is one of the best products for roaches and other pests.  You can treat outdoors, one foot up on the foundation and one foot out on the ground. Indoors, you can spray on baseboards areas and cracks and crevices. If you are dealing with German roaches, we would recommend to use something like our Roach Control Kit Rotation A.  You need to keep your pets away while you are applying the product, however once it has dried then it is safe for them to be back in the area..

  • Asked by Simon from Upland, Ca

    Q
    Does Temprid FX Insecticide have a transfer effect on large ant colonies? Would I be able to stop using Termidor SC and just use the Temprid FX?
    A

    Temprid FX is a dual mode of action insecticide using Beta Cyfluthrin for quick knockdown and imidacloprid which is a non-repellent, similar to the Fipronil in Termidor SC. Yes, it will transfer throughout colonies of insects that have physical contact.  Terrmidor SC is the best treatment for large ant colonies as it lasts 6 months outside and has the best transfer effect. It, however, cannot be used indoors and is not labelled for fire ants. Temprid FX will last 30-45 days outside as a perimeter treatment but can also be used to treat trails, nests, and drench ant mounds. A good option would be to treat outside with Taurus SC and use the Temprid FX indoors once every 90 days for general pest treatments and/or if you have any ant mounds.

    08/10/2018
    Q
    What can I use for roaches and bedbugs? I have Cyzmic, Temprid, Gentrol, Nyguard, and Viper.
    A

    Temprid FX Insecticide is a great option for bed bugs and roaches. It is actually the insecticide in our Roach Control Kits and many of our Bed Bug Kits. You can incorporate an IGR like Gentrol with Temprid when treating for roaches. Please take a moment to look over our Bed Bug Guide and our Roach Control Guide for more tips and information on treating these pests.

  • Asked by Jorden from Grand Forks, Nd
    05/27/2018
    Q
    What is better for mosquitoes - Temprid FX or Talstar?
    A

    Both Temprid FX Insecticide and Talstar are labeled for mosquitoes and either would do a great job eliminating them. Talstar is is known to be super gentle on most plants (do not use on edible vegetation). Temprid FX has an added active ingredient, promoting a transfer kill. Both products can be used indoors and outdoors and both products are safe to use in houses with children and pets.

    Q
    Can Temprid FX Insecticide be mixed at a lower rate?
    Can this product be mixed at a lower % rate? Like at 4 mil per gallon? Will it still have the same affect?
    A

    Temprid FX Insecticide should be mixed at a minimum rate of 8ml per gallon of water per the manufacturer. Rates lower than that would be considered off label and may not be as effective.

    Q
    Does Temprid FX Insecticide work on fleas?
    A

    Temprid FX is labeled for fleas, however, it is not labeled for indoor flea treatments, and it cannot be sprayed on carpeted surfaces. We would recommend using our Indoor Flea and Tick Kit instead for indoor flea control, but if you are treating indoors and outdoors, the Outdoor/Indoor Flea and Tick Kit has everything you will need to do a complete treatment for fleas indoors and outdoors. We also have a Flea Control Treatment article that includes helpful tips and information for indoor and outdoor treatments.

  • Asked by Agnes from Missouri City Tx
    06/14/2019
    Q
    Will Temprid FX Insecticide kill roaches and bed bugs?
    A

    Temprid FX Insecticide will kill adult listed insects including roaches and bedbugs. It should not be the sole product for roach control or bedbug treatment applications. We do offer Bedbug Kits (some contain Temprid FX) and you could use Gentrol IGR/Gentrol Point Source Stations and roach bait gel if treating both pests along with non-chemical efforts for both. Please take a few moments to review our treatment articles/videos on How to Get Rid of Roaches and How to Get Rid of Bedbugs for a successful program.

  • Asked by Srinivas from Honolulu, Hi

    Q
    Can Temprid FX Insecticide be used in a room which has a split air conditioner ?
    I live in the tropics and we use a split air conditioner in my room which is infested with bed bugs. Do I need to cover my air conditioning unit when i spray Temprid on the floors/beds? Can Temprid cause breathing issues once it is dried and then the AC unit is switched on ? Please let me know as I am planning to buy this product.
    A

    As long as you are not spraying directly into the vents of an air conditioner Temprid FX Insecticide could be used as directed on the product label.  You would only direct treatments to cracks and crevices around the rooms, along baseboards, under furniture etc.  We would recommend turning the unit off while doing the application until dry, once dry it would not become airborn to effect breathing.  We have a great guide here that explains where to and how to treat for bed bugs with products.

    Q
    How effective is Temprid FX Insecticide on preventing June beetles from entering a structure?
    A

    Temprid FX Insecticide would be effective against June bugs when applied according to the instructions on the product label.  You would apply 8-16 mL 1-2 feet up and 1-2 feet out around the perimeter of the structure, as well as around window and door frames and other potential entry points such as where plumbing or wiring enter a wall.

  • Asked by Gary from Barstow, California.
    12/14/2020
    Q
    Can Temprid FX Insecticide be mixed with another product that has 7.9% Bifenthrin as its active ingredient?
    The product that has 7.9% Bifenthrin is called ( COMPARE.N.SAVE INDOOR/OUTDOOR ) insect concentrate.
    A

    There is no valid reason to mix Temprid FX and  Bifenthrin products together.  Talstar P is a synthetic pyrethroid and Temprid FX already contains a synthetic pyrethroid, so there would be nothing to gain by mixing these products together. Making a pesticide too strong can actually backfire. Areas that are treated with this overly concentrated spray will be repellent and insects will simply avoid the treated areas prolonging the infestation.

    Speed of results with Temprid FX Insecticide
    How quickly does Temprid FX Insecticide affect treated roaches and ants?
    A

    Temprid FX Insecticide takes time to kill insects that contact a treated area.  How long can vary depending on a few factors such as age and health of the insect, how soon after application they contact the treated area and how long they spend on the treated area.  It can take a few hours up to 24 or more to kill.

  • Asked by Steve from Philadelphia
    02/17/2020
    Q
    Will Temprid FX Insecticide keep killing bedbugs after it dries?
    A

    Yes, Temprid FX Insecticide is a residual product. You will want to treat every 7-10 days until there is no activity of bed bugs for 30 days straight. Please look over the product label before making your application. Also, we would recommend incorporating a product like CimeXa into your treatment plan for hard to reach areas where you cannot spray a liquid insectide, like behind the face plates of electrical outlets for example. Please take a moment to review our How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs Guide for more information on implementing a successful treatment plan.
