    Q
    Is Temprid SC good for ticks
    I have ticks outside in my yard and inside my home
    A
    Temprid SC would be effective for indoor and outdoor tick treatments when used as directed on the product label. Ideally, the indoor application would be made into every possible crevice in the room where the female ticks could go, but this could be a daunting effort. Try to picture where the ticks will wander for a place to hide, such as behind floor molding would be an obvious one. They might get up under stuffed furniture, behind pictures on the walls, inside dressers and other items in your home. All of these areas should be treated. We recommend using an IGR such as Archer IGR in combination with the insecticide that you choose. IGRs (insect growth regulators) will interrupt the growth cycle of juvenile ticks which will stop them from being able to mate and lay eggs.

    For outdoor areas, you use the combination of Temprid and Archer as well.Tie a white cloth to a stick or broom handle and  drag the cloth around over the lawn and grassy areas, and examine the cloth for ticks, which will latch onto the material as it passes by. Areas where ticks are found can be can be treated. You should also treat any tall growth or shrubs.

    Q
    Does Temprid form "micro-crystals" after it dries?
    Similar to Suspend and Tempo SC Ultra?
    A
    Most of the residual products leave what some people call micro-crystals.  Temprid does as well.  This is referring to the surface that you apply the product on.  After it dries and you look through a microscope at the surface, it looks like a crystallization is formed on the surface.  This can only be seen of course through a microscope.

    Q
    If Temprid SC was sprayed during a rain break, could it hurt my animals?
    The rain had stopped, the chemical was applied and it rained about an hour later. Now I have a dead chicken and a dog seeming to have an allergic reaction to something.
    A

    It is recommended that you keep pets out of the area when Temprid SC is wet. Once it is dry, it is rainfast and does not reactivate when it gets wet. If the product did not have time to dry before it rained, the effectiveness will decrease. 

    With regards to the animals, we would recommend contacting your vet and/or poison control if they are displaying unusual symptoms.

  • Asked by David from Miami, Florida
    08/10/2018
    Q
    How does Temprid SC Insecticide work?
    A

    Temprid SC Insecticide is a suspension concentrate formulation of two insecticide active ingredients, imidacloprid and beta-cyfluthrin. These two active ingredients affect targets pests differently, offering complete and unique control for the toughest pests, even when resistance is a concern. Imidacloprid is a patented neonicotinoid manufactured by Bayer Cropscience. Neonicotinoids refer to the class neuro-active insecticides that are modeled after nicotine. Imidacloprid works by disrupting inhibiting stimuli transmission within the nervous system of a given insect when that insect either ingests or absorbs the poison into its body. More specifically, imidacloprid blocks a certain type of neuronal pathways which are much more prevalent in insects than mammals. That is why the chemical is much more toxic to insects than humans or animals. Because of its slower kill time, imidacloprid is used when a transfer effect is desired for treatment of social insects such as ants and cockroaches.

    Beta-cyfluthrin is a synthetic pyrethroid that attacks the central nervous system of target pests. Made to mimic the effects on insects of naturally occurring pyrethrum, man-made beta-cyfluthrin has the advantage of remaining effective far longer than pyrethrins. In Temprid SC, beta-cyfluthrin provides a quick knockdown for immediate control, while the imidacloprid provides long-lasting results and far-reaching control through a transfer effect.

  • Asked by Lenka from Philadelphia , Pa
    12/06/2011
    Q
    Which product should I use for bedbugs, Temprid SC, Demand CS or Cyonara 9.7?
    Which product should I use for bed bugs? There are three of them (Cyonara 9.7, Demand CS, and Temprid SC) I can't decide which one is going to work best. Please help me to make decision since you are professionals with this matter.
    A
    All three products have an active ingredient that is classified as a synthetic pyrethroid so they really are very similar in the way that they work. Cyonara and Demand share the exact same active ingredient at the exact same concentration so of course they do the same job. Temprid SC is a bit more versatile when it comes to bedbug treatments though as it can be sprayed on mattresses, carpets (spot treat only) and on furniture (crack and crevice only) where neither the Demand nor Cyonara can be applied. We recommend that you do not use a liquid concentrate alone to eliminate bedbugs. Bed bug control has much better success if you use a variety of products.  Our bed bug kits have many products that are considered the top bed bug control products.  Our kits also come with full instructions.  They have a very high success rate with our customers and your best chance of eliminating a bed bug infestation.

  • Asked by Kevin from Tauranga

    Q
    Is Temprid SC good to use for flies with the beta-cyfluthrin in it?
    A

    Temprid SC Insecticide does have two powerful active ingredients that work very well on the dozens of pests list on the product label. Residual insecticides, however, should not be the sole treatment for flying insects since it often difficult to apply the insecticide in areas where the flies will come into contact with it. We do have excellent Pest Guides on several different types of flies, and we would be happy to offer additional advice with information about what specific kind of fly you are treating and in what area (inside, outside, residential, commercial, etc.).

    Q
    What is the strongest most effective chemical to kill bed bugs?
    I have used temprid SC for about 8 treatments. most bugs appear to have been killed I am still seeing some new activity we recently moved I don't know if I have disturbed colonies that were dormant or if I had inherited some new ones. from what I have read it may be wise to switch to another poison or use two poisons I am almost out of time. I need to buy some more so I need some direction please as for proneness please believe me I have been extremely thorough. I have also used two packs of the nuvon strips in blue tubs. the items in the blue tubs have been in there for over a month. I have some clothing in black plastic bags that have not been treated yet but have not been opened yet either. before I revisit the tubs for the bags I wish to make sure I have an all clear in my new house.
    A

    While, Temprid SC is the best liquid insecticide to use for treating bedbugs, it will not treat an infestation alone. Please take a look at our Bed Bug Kit #2 or Bed Bug Kit #3 . These kits contain all the necessary products to fully treat and eradicate a bedbug infestation.

    Temprid SC or Fenvastar EcoCap is mixed in a 1 gallon sprayer and applied around the perimeter of the room(s) along baseboards, floorboards, headboards and walls.

    Cimexa Dust is applied to wall voids, inside box spring, crack and crevices where bedbugs can't go (behidn picture frames, under furniture, cracks of dresser drawers, join cracks and hollow tubing of bed frames, etc) - Only need a fine coating, do not over dust. Using 2oz of dust per 100sq ft, 1/4oz of dust to each wall void. How to Apply Dust Article here

    Bedlam - Spot Treatments on mattresses, upholstered furniture, drawers, bed frames, carpeted areas, and curtains. Provides contact kill and leaves 2 week residual.

    Steri-Fab - Alcohol based contact kill that does not leave any residual after it is dry making it safe for comforters, mattresses, sheets, cushions, dog beds etc.

    Bellow Hand Duster - used to apply dust to crack & crevice, under baseboars, box springs. Fill 1/2 way with dust, not to the top b/c it needs air to pump the dust out.

  • Asked by Brian from Lake Mary, Fl

    Q
    Will Temprid SC kill fleas, and if so what mixture is most suitable 8ml or 16ml per gallon?
    I'm dealing with fleas in my yard and underneath my homes crawl space and I'm also spraying inside for good measure too and was wondering if it takes less of a mixture to kill off fleas or should I use temprid sc at its maximum mixture. Also would it be ok to use a pesticide garden sprayer that sprays the product out of a garden hose instead of using a pump sprayer because I will need to spray pretty far underneath my homes crawlspace in order to take care of the problem,Thank you.
    A

    Temprid SC is labeled for fleas outdoors. Generally, we recommend that you use the higher rate of Temprid SC for your first application to help knock the fleas down. We would also recommend using an IGR, such as Archer IGR, to stop the lifecycle of the fleas. These products can be used inside of a hose end sprayer. Be sure to check the settings on your hose end sprayer for the correct dosage you are using.

    Q
    How much Temprid SC Insecticide should I mix with a 1 Liter capacity sprayer?
    I have a 1 liter capacity sprayer. I know it may get complicated to measure since 8 ml temprid should be mixed with a gallon of water but i do not need a gallon of mixture for the size of room im treating. Is it safe to do half of 8ml for the liter?
    A

    If you are using a 1 Liter capacity sprayer, then you would need 2 mL of the Temprid SC Insecticide
