Yes, Temprid FX Insecticide is labeled to kill and will do a great job controlling bedbugs. Please see our Bed Bug Treatment article for more information on treating this pest.
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.
Yes, Temprid FX Insecticide is labeled for moths. Use 8 mL per gallon of water. Please see theproduct label for complete application instructions.
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.
There are not any specific temperature restrictions on when Temprid FX Insecticide can be applied. You should not use insecticides when temperatures are near, at, or below freezing. Insects are most active when air temperatures are around 60-85 degrees F. The best time of day to apply is early in the day or in the late evening. 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.
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.
Temprid FX Insecticide is not a contact kill insecticide. The product offers a transfer effect that will travel throughout the colony eventually kill the queen. Crazy Ant Colonies are very large in size and may require repeat applications and multiple seasons to get control.
Please view our How to Treat for Crazy Ants Treatment Guide for more information.
Temprid FX should only be diluted with water as directed on the label.
If surfaces are too dust covered or dirty it would be recommended to clean the area before applying Temprid FX
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. It will offer a 30 day outdoor residual.
Yes, Temprid FX Insecticide is a great product for springtails. Depending on how healthy the springtail is and how long it spends on a surface treated by Temprid, will depend on how long it actually takes for each individual one to die. It could be hours or even a day. Also, if you are not treating the main nest and only the satellite colony, you are only temporarily fixing your problem. More will appear as they continue to migrate and you will need to fix the moisture issue in your home that is attracting the springtails as well. Until the moisture is gone or the main nest is found and eliminated, you will have an ongoing battle with the pest.
Please view our How to Get Rid of Springtails Guide for more information.
