  • Asked by Tony from Barrington, Il
    10/24/2013
    Q
    What dilution to use for killing cockroaches with Temprid SC and where to spray indoors?
    Killing cockroaches
    A
    Temprid SC would be mixed at 16 ml per gallons of water and applied at a low-pressure setting along baseboards, window and door frames, on the underside of furniture, behind bookshelves, and in other problem areas as listed on the product label. Residual sprays need to be reapplied every month to every 3 months, depending on the level of infestation. It is also a good idea to alternate products with different active ingredients each application. This will help prevent the roaches from quickly building up a resistance to any single active ingredient. Please take a moment to read How To Get Rid Of Roaches for more tips and advise.

  • Asked by David from Norwalk Ct But For Use In New Jersey
    11/10/2013
    Q
    Is it a good idea to use both Temprid SC and Phantom for bed bugs?
    A
    Temprid can be used as a perimeter treatment in the rooms and Phantom Aerosol would be a great choice to spot treat mattresses, boxsprings, and treat other cracks and crevices. You may also want to add a dust insecticide into your treatment such as Cimexa Dust.

  • Asked by Ed from Springfield, Il
    11/19/2013
    Q
    Can Temprid SC be used in a hand held propane fogger?
    We have old fashioned ceiling tiles, the kind with hundreds of little "holes" crevices and such. We have caulked every thing in sight, bleached walls down, steamed, used: Demand, Gentrol, Phantom, Raid for Bed Bugs, bed bug fogger (early on... and found out the hard way they don't work), and Dusted. We soon realized the ceilings had to be infested. Whenever we would be sitting in one place, they would drop down from the ceiling and start biting away. We called in a well know exterminator service to knock these things out. They came in, supposedly treated... using 3 (THREE) ounces of Phantom spray and dusted two of the four bedrooms. They claimed they didn't see any evidence of bed bugs though. We provided several tape specimens which they agreed were bed bugs. We told/showed them where they were caught and seen. We didn't have the money to hire an exterminator, so we financed the services. Here we are, over $2,000 spent to eliminate these things and treatment didn't seem to make a dent. We came back to DoMyOwn and purchased Temprid. This HAS made a difference. We know the ceiling is still harboring them due to all the perfect hiding and gripping aspects. We need something we can use to cover these areas. Since we have seen such great results with Temprid (in spray cans), we would like to use a hand fogger to apply Temprid SC to the ceilings. Will the fogger affect the Temprid in any way or make it ineffective? How would we mix to use in fogger?
    A
    No, Temprid SC is not labeled to be applied in a fogger. Temprid SC can be used indoors as a spot treatment or as a void injection by mist, foam, or crack and crevice spray, and outdoors as a perimeter treatment, general surface spray, or foliar application to established landscape ornamentals. Always read the product label completely before use.
    Foggers are not recommended for bedbugs. Bedbugs hide directly in cracks and crevices, foggers meanwhile only go straight up in the air and then come straight down onto to surfaces. Foggers do not penetrate into cracks and crevices where bedbugs harbor. The key to bedbug elimination is good quality products and thorough treatments. You will want to use Temprid through a hand pump sprayer to more effectively treat the ceiling's cracks and crevices.

  • Asked by Alberto from Miami
    12/12/2013
    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.

  • Asked by Andrew from Indianapolis, In.

    Q
    Do you have to be certified in the State of Indiana, or any other state to use Temprid SC?
    Also, do you need to be certified to use Diatomaceous Earth powder?
    A
    The only time you need to be certified and licensed is when there are restrictions for purchase in a specific state or if you plan to treat someone else's home or property for profit. As a homeowner, you may apply Diatomaceous Earth and Temprid SC to your own home without being certified/licensed in Indiana.

  • Asked by Lee from Portland, Oregon
    05/09/2014
    Q
    What to use when your up against a lot of Bed Bugs?
    I have set off 20 foggers and used 3 gal of spray and a pro gave up on it too?
    A
    There is hope! We would recommend using Temprid SC.  Temprid will treat even resistant bed bugs.

    Temprid SC for Bed Bug Control:

    • Use at a rate of 0.27 fl oz (8 milliliters) of Temprid SC per gallon of water.
    • Controls bed bug populations that are resistant to pyrethroid insecticides. Spray bugs directly wherever possible following site directions below:
    • For infested mattresses, remove linens and wash before reuse. Apply to tufts, seams, folds, and edges until moist. Allow to dry before remaking bed.
    • Apply to bedsprings, box springs, and the interior of bed frames or headboards, including all cracks and joints.
    • When bed bugs are found in upholstered furniture, apply only to the infested tufts, seams, folds and edges, but do not apply to flat surfaces where prolonged human contact will occur. If bugs heavily infest furniture (inside cushions and/or batting) apply a labeled insecticide dust.
    • Apply as a crack and crevice treatment to all baseboards, moldings, beneath floor coverings and carpets, closets, shelves, curtains, furniture and picture frames that may provide harborage to bed bugs.
    • Temprid SC is not repellent to bed bugs, can withstand up to 8 hours of bed bug heat treatments (140 F), and prevents bed bug infestations for up to 6 months.

  • Asked by Kimberly from Dallas, Tx
    05/15/2014
    Q
    Can you pair Temprid SC with a fogger?
    I was considering pairing Temprid SC with a flee/tick fogger because Temprid SC cannot be applied directly to open carpet, which is where fleas may be harboring. Would the products counter act? Is it only necessary to use Temprid SC to kill a flea infestation?
    A

    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.

    Q
    Can Temprid SC be applied to vents and electrical sockets?

    Worried about food I left in apartment while exterminator sprayed Temprid
    My landlord did an inside perimeter spray with Temprid SC, and I left some food in the apartment away from the floor. Is my food safe?
    A
    Is there any way you could find out exactly where the Temprid SC Insecticide was applied? If you have fruits or breads out up on a counter there should not be any problem. That is if the product was only applied to cracks and crevices, not broadcast out. Please call us at 866-581-7378 to better assist you.

  • Asked by Stephanie from Hagerstown
    07/22/2014
    Q
    Can I use the same sprayer that I used for phantom with Temprid or will any residual
    From Phantom cause Temprid to not be effective? Do I have to buy another sprayer?
    A
    Temprid uses 2 different active ingredients. One that kills by transfer like Phantom and one that provides a quick kill. We always recommend to thoroughly rinse out the sprayer after each use. Using the same sprayer you previously applied Phantom with, will not counteract the Temprid.
