Temprid FX is a really great product to use for roaches. The product contains two active ingredients that offer a quickdown and also a residual. 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, a roach gel bait, and an insect growth regulator (IGR) labeled for roaches to completely eradicate the population. Please take a few moments to view our article on How to Get Rid of Roaches for more information.

We would like to give you advice however we do not know what you are treating for. If you are treating for roaches, Temprid FX Insecticide is a great product for roaches and should do a good job towards helping you eliminate the infestation. However, if the infestation is severe, it should not be the sole product used. We would recommend using one of our Roach Control Kits for best results. You may want to look over our Roach Treatment Guide for more information.

No, while Temprid FX provides a quick kill with the active ingredient Cyfluthrin as part of the dual mode of action, it does not kill instantly. ExciteR would be recommended for a contact kill pyrethrin insecticide. Once dry, this will not leave any residual.

Temprid FX Insecticide is not specifically labeled for chiggers. Onslaught is a great product for chigger control. Treatments for chiggers should begin in April/May and could/need to continue through the summer as new chiggers move into the area. Treating the entire lawn is of little benefit because chiggers avoid direct sunlight and normally will not infest areas that are mowed or otherwise well maintained. Focus treatment on the unkempt areas of the lawn and lawn edge. You can also use Onslaught to do a barrier treatment around the outside of your home and in your crawl space to stop pests from moving indoors.
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.
Temprid FX is labeled to be applied only to the tufts and folds of the mattress. If you are looking for a product that can be applied directly to the mattress, you can purchase Steri-Fab.

Applications also need to be done when there isn't any rain expected for 24 hrs and the winds are calm to ensure the product has had time to dry. Please follow the label instructions for details on your treatment.
Yes, Temprid FX Insecticide can be mixed with ExciteR and Gentrol an applied in one application. Both ExciteR and Gentrol can be mixed with any insecticide.
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 can be applied to all shrubs, trees, and other foliage around the house or where you are trying to provide relief.
