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.
No, Temprid FX does not contain a polymer. Suspend Polyzone would be an insecticide that contains a special polymer to help it last longer on outside surfaces.
Temprid FX Insecticide is a liquid concentrate and not available in a fogger/bomb.
The most effective way to remove the residual of Temprid FX Insecticide that has been applied to furniture on surfaces that will have skin contact is to steam clean the surface area. Per the product label, Temprid FX should be applied to only to the infested tufts, seams, folds, and edges, but do not apply to flat surfaces where prolonged human contact will occur.
Apply Temprid FX Insecticide to tufts, seams, folds, and edges until moist. Allow to dry before remaking bed. Apply to bedsprings, box springs, and the interior of bed frames or headboards, including all cracks and joints. When bed bugs are found in upholstered furniture, apply only to the infested tufts, seams, folds, and edges, but do not apply to flat surfaces where prolonged human contact will occur.
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.
Temprid FX can be applied as frequently as every 10-14 days per the label instructions, depending on the pest you’re treating for. When using Temprid FX Insecticide to treat for bedbugs it may be used every 7 days for retreatment.
Since Temprid FX Insecticide is a dual mode of action insecticide, it is less likely to develop a resistance than other insecticides. Depending on the target pests you are treating, we would suggest rotating every 12 months or when a decrease in effectiveness occurs. For general purpose applications, Temprid FX Insecticide should be applied every 90 days indoors and every 30 days outdoors.
Temprid FX Insecticide is a great product for roaches and should do a good job towards helping you eliminate an infestation.

While Temprid FX is labeled to kill fleas, it does not include barns as part of the areas that can be treated with this product. You can use Tempo SC Ultra 32 mL along with NyGuard IGR to help disrupt the life cycle of the fleas or Onslaught Insecticide along with NyGuard IGR. Make sure all food and water troughs are covered or removed and the animals are removed as well. Let the treated areas completely dry before letting the animals back into the barns. For flea treatments, you can retreat every 14 days as needed. We also recommend that the animals get their own flea treatment done as they may also reintroduce fleas back into the barn. We recommend reading over our Flea Treatment Guide for further tips and information.
Neither Temprid FX nor Termidor SC contain a polymer. They are both suspend concentrates. Suspend Polyzone would be an insecticide that contains a special polymer to help it last longer on outside surfaces.
