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.
Yes, Temprid FX Insecticide can be applied to all shrubs, trees, and other foliage around the house or where you are trying to provide relief. It should be directed not only on top of the leaves and plants but on the underside of the leaves as well which is where the mosquitoes hang out during the heat of the day.
Temprid FX is labeled to be used for lawn applications. Label states do not apply more than 32.0 fluid ounces of Temprid FX Insecticide per acre, per year. Please make sure you read over the label for complete application instructions.
Per a technical specialist at Bayer regarding the efficacy of the Temprid FX: It is not a question of efficacy of the active ingredients changing on different surfaces (as long as all are chemically neutral), but the amount of exposure to residues based on interference by the physical properties of the surface. Temprid (or any other residual insecticide) would generally be more efficacious (with all other factors like UV exposure, relative humidity, temperature exposures, surface pH being equal) against bed bugs on a hard, non-porous surface because if applied at the same amount, you would expect more of the deposit on the non-porous surface to be available for exposure to the target pest than on a porous surface.
When using Temprid FX Insecticide for bed bugs you are only applying to cracks and crevices and along baseboards in rooms, not across entire surfaces. Please refer to the product label for complete instructions.
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 take a moment to review our How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs Guide for more information on implementing a successful treatment plan.

We are not familiar with the product you are referring to that you have already used. Depending on what pest you are treating for would determine the proper application interval between when you last used your Permethrin spray product, and when you can use the Temprid FX or any other residual insecticide. Temprid can be used every 7-14 days for bedbugs, and every 30 days for roaches and other pests. Rotating the insecticides you treat with every 30 days is fine to do as long as you are following label instructions for where and how to use the insecticides, and mixing them according to the label.
