Temprid SC Insecticide should not be mixed with Sterifab. They are to be applied separately.
Per the Temprid SC product label:
If on skin: • Take off any contaminated clothing.
• Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.
Please keep in mind that it does take time to eradicate bed bugs. Temprid should be applied every 7-10 days until you have been able to go a full 30 days with no new bites and no signs of bed bug activity. Please look over our Bed Bug Treatment Guide for more information.
Temprid SC Insecticide should only be used along baseboard areas and in cracks and crevices. It would not be applied into cupboards or on clothing/blankets. Remove items from the floor areas to avoid contact and wash thoroughly if there is accidental contact. Once dry it is safe for people to return to the area and items can be put back.
Yes, Temprid SC Insecticide is labeled to control boxelder bugs. It is mixed at 0.27-0.54 oz. (8-16 milliliters) per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft area. Temprid can be used inside of a hose end sprayer. Be sure to check the settings for the correct dosage you are using.
Temprid SC Insecticide can up to 5-7 years in the soil. Anything edible that was sprayed would need to be discarded and not consumed. If just the leaves were sprayed (no fruit/edibles) it would not be absorbed as a systemic throughout the plant and last. Once the treated area has dried it will not move from the surface it was applied to and has up to 30 day residual.
Temprid SC Insecticide can be applied inside cabinets as a spot application to the cracks and crevices and around plumbing. If spraying in cabinets where eating utensils are kept, you would need to remove all items, thoroughly clean the cabinets and let the application completely dry before putting dishes or eating utensils back into the drawers.
They each have a 90 day interior crack and crevice residual and 30 day exterior residual. It would not be advised or necessary to apply Temprid SC Insecticide and Tandem within a week. We recommend waiting until it is time for the next application to alternate between the two.
We carry many great liquid insecticide concentrates for interior and exterior applications to eradicate ants, roaches and spiders. We would recommend applying Temprid SC monthly outside and once every three months indoors. I have included some great articles for treatment of the insects that you are treating. Baiting is key with ants and roaches. I have also included the link to get a pest identification of the insect in the beams. Once we know what insect you are treating in that area, we will be able to make a product recommendation.

Temprid SC is only an indoor crack and crevice application. Flea treatments should be an open floor broadcast with a product labeled for such treatment. We would recommend applying a product that can be broadcast indoors for flea treatments such as our Outdoor/Indoor Flea Kit or Alpine Insecticide Aerosol with IGR. Please review the article below for flea eradication.
If the soil was treated topically with Dominion 2L within the past six months, I would wait to apply the Temprid SC up against the structure in the same area. If the area was treated prior to that time, you can apply Temprid SC for a perimeter treatment for the other insects that crawl on top of the soil.
When using Temprid SC outdoors for carpenter bees, it can be applied every 21 days.
