Temprid FX Insecticide would be a great product to use to treat for mosquitoes that may carry the Zika virus. The key is to apply to the underside of the leaves on trees/bushes where the adults lay during the day. You can also find our Mosquito Control Guide here.
Please keep in mind that insecticides are not a substitute for personal protection, and that we cannot provide medical treatment advice.
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.
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 only availbale as a liquid concentrate. It is not labeled for bookworms. We apologize, but since we are only able to ship within the U.S., we cannot say whether or not it is allowed to be used in Europe.
Temprid FX Insecticide is not labeled to be used in any type of fogger.
Temprid FX would not be the best product for Wooly Adelgid on Hemlocks. We recommend Safari.
Temprid FX Insecticide is an option to treat for mosquitoes in areas that are at least 25 feet away from water. For areas closer to the water, you would be limited to the natural products such as EcoVia or Essentria IC3.
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 Insecticide should dry clear and not leave any type of residue once dry when the instructions are followed on the product label. If there is a concern of where it is being applied, we would recommend testing a small, inconspicuous area first to be safe.
Temprid FX Insecticide is not labeled for bird lice. We recommend contacting your veterinarian for advice on what to use as we do not seem to have anything labeled for this use.
Since Temprid FX Insecticide is not to be applied on surfaces that come in contact with the skin or on the surface area of the couch, only to the tufts,folds and seams, we would recommend contacting Bayer directy for instructions on the treatment/cleaning of the couch and chair. Bayer can be reached at 800-331-2867.
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.
Temprid FX Insecticide is not labeled to control armyworms. We would recommend Bifen XTS for armyworms in lawns, landscape beds and ornamentals.
Please view our Armyworm Treatment Guide for more information.
Temprid FX is mixed at 8 ml to 16ml per gallon of water depending on the target pest and where you are treating (indoors/outdoors).
Please refer to the product label for full instructions on application.
We would recommend vacuuming along baseboards and wiping any residue in other areas where Cimexa was previously applied before spraying with Temprid FX Insecticide.
Once the Temprid FX application has full dried, then you can reapply Cimexa Dust using a bellow hand duster along the same baseboards but also around electrical outlest, around windows, doors, and in wall voids.
Please take a moment to view our How to Apply Cimexa Dust Video and How to Apply Temprid FX Video for more information.
Temprid FX Insecticide is not labeled to treat grubs. Please take a few moments to review our article on How to Get Rid of Grubs for the best results.
Temprid FX Insecticide uses two active ingredients for a dual mode of action for insects. Once the bed bugs have crossed the treated area, the beta Cyfluthrin and Imidacloprid start working together immediately to attack the nerves and stop normal nerve transmittal signals throughout the the insect. The exact kill time of how long it takes, we are not able to determine. It may take a few hours up to 24 or more depending on a few factors.
Bed Bugs do require a combination of products to fully eradicate and repeat treatments every 7-10 days until you can go 30 days without seeing any signs of bed bugs, bites or skin casings. Please review our How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs Treatment Guide and Bed Bug Kits for all the necessary products to eradicate.
It is normal to still see roaches once treatments begin using Temprid FX. This insecticide contains two active ingredients that offer a quickdown but also a non repellent residual that goes undetected as roaches cross the treated areas. This non repellency quality allows roaches to transfer the active ingredient throughout the colony.
Eliminating roaches is not a quick treatment depending how severe the infestation is. Repeat treatments will be required and Temprid FX should not be the sole product used. 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 (Temprid FX), a roach gel bait, and an insect growth regulator (IGR) labeled for roaches to completely eradicate the population.
Please take a moment to review our Roach Control Kits and Treatment Guide for step by step instructions on how to eliminate a roach infestation.
Temprid FX does not release toxic vapors or fumes into the air. You would only need to throw away food or wash utensils if any came in contact with the product.
If you have gotten Temprid FX Insecticide or any insecticide on your skin, the proper steps are to immediately take off contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. The product label advises that to contact a physician or poison control center immediately and be sure to let them know you also inhaled the product for assistance.
Please have the product label and SDS Sheet available for additional safety information on the product.
