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.

In addition to a residual insecticide on the exterior perimeter of the home and landscape beds, fly baits are very effective to reducing fly populations. Disposable Fly Bait Stations are great for luring and trapping flies away from the home. Fly Bait Sprays are better for direct spray/paint on applications to walls, windows, under bannisters & railings, pillars, etc where flies are known to congregate.
