    Q
    Can Temprid FX be used alone for mosquito control instead of Talstar and ExciteR together?
    It says it utilizes two modes of action. Does it provide a fast knockdown + residual? If so could this replace the Talstar/ExciteR portion of a mosquito combo and just apply Temprid FX + IGR with same results but longer residual? Looking for mosquito control combo with best residual/fewest treatments. Bring on the wisdom
    A

    Temprid FX Insecticide does have a faster knockdown and a long residual when used alone, however it will not have the same effectiveness as a synergist insecticide such as ExciteR.  The manufacturer is referring to in comparison with other similar residual insecticides, it has a quicker knockdown.

    Q
    Is there an ideal time of day to apply Temprid FX outside? Are there any temperature restrictions?
    I plan to apply this product outside around the foundation of my home (approx 2 feet up & 2 feet out) once per month. Obviously, I'm not going to apply when there's snow on the ground, but I also don't think there's much need to apply in January when the avg daily temperature is 30 degrees (F), as I don't believe that most of the pests that it controls for are active at that temp. Any idea what temperature range is too cold to get any practical use out of this? Thanks!
    A

    There are not any temperature restrictions on when Temprid FX Insecticide can be applied. You should not use insecticides when temperatures are near, at, or below freezing. 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.

  • Asked by Deanna from Long Beach, Ca
    05/28/2018
    Q
    Is it safe to use Temprid FX on house plants (sprayed into soil) to get rid of gnats?
    A

    Temprid FX Insecticide is not labeled for household plants for soil application. Fungus gnats will commonly breed in the soil of house plants that may have too much moisture. You should read our Getting Rid of Gnats article that explains how to treat fungus gnats. We recommend using Talstar P  which can be sprayed directly on the soil to help control fungus gnats and we also recommend letting the soil dry out completely between waterings.

    Q
    Is Temprid FX safe for wetland areas/amphibians?
    We live in Michigan and our property includes a large wetlands area. Mosquitoes are atrocious from May - October but I will not use a product that isn't safe for the frogs and toads that share our property. Is this product safe for them?
    A

    Temprid FX Insecticide is not safe to use on aquatic areas such as a marsh or wetlands. You should keep this product 20-25 feet away from these areas and out of any areas where there could be runoff into these areas. You can use a product called EcoVia EC to treat for mosquitoes are the marsh or where there are animals present. Keep in mind that you should not spray this product over open water or in areas where the application would not be able to dry on the plants there. For treatment of the water itself, you can use Altosid larvicide products. The most popular is Altosid Pro-G Granular larvicide, however there are other formulations for larger areas.

  • Asked by Zahir from Friendswood,tx
    09/27/2017
    Q
    Which one is newest Temprid FX Or Temprid SC ?
    Why Temprid FX has less reviews then Temprid SC?
    A

    Temprid FX Insecticide is newer than Temprid SC and has not received reviews as it is new to our site. Temprid FX Insecticide is the exact same product as the best selling Temprid SC however, there are many new changes. Same suspension concentrate as the SC, the "FX" simply stands for flexibility. Foliar application is now included on the label. With this foliar application, it is highly effective in controlling honeydew feeding ants, and is a great tool against stink bugs in the late summer and fall. Mosquitoes are now on this label as well. They have also added protection for polinators on the FX label.
