Temprid SC Insecticide - Questions & Answers

Yes, if you cleaned Temprid SC Insecticide treated areas it would have been removed.  Once the product dries from the initial application it does not reconstitute.   In the future it would be best to clean before the product is applied.

When dealing with roaches, treatments should be limited to cracks, crevices and wall voids as this is where roaches spend most of their time. Using a combination of roach bait, insecticide, and an insect growth regulator will usually be needed.  

• Apply roach baits such as Avert Dry Flowable or MaxForce FC in cracks or crevices where roach feces have been found.
  
  
• Apply an insecticide dust such as Delta Dust into wall voids where plumbing pipes exist and in wall voids behind stoves or dishwashers. These walls are most likely to have cockroaches hiding inside because of the humidity provided by the pipes.
  
  
• Liquid insecticides combined with insect growth regulators will also offer some control. Temprid SC and Gentrol IGR are labeled to spray in food handling establishments for roach control. (ALWAYS READ PRODUCT LABELS BEFORE APPLICATION) Precaution should be used when applications are being performed. Apply in cracks and crevice at low pressure setting, being extremely careful not to splash or allow runoff that could potentially contaminate food prep surfaces. Protective barrier applications of insecticides such as Temprid SC should be made on a regular basis on the outside of structure to exclude insects from entering.

Products such as Demand CS and Temprid SC should not be left in your tank for more than 24 hours after mixing. The products will lose their efficacy.

Yes, Advion Roach Bait Gel can be used at the same time as Temprid SC. Make sure you put the bait in areas where you cannot spray, such as inside cabinets, drawers, etc. Do not spray the bait because this will contaminate it and the roaches will not consume it.

It is also recommended that you mix the Temprid SC with an insect growth regulator, such as Gentrol IGR. This will stop the life cycle of the roaches. This lasts approximately three months. Please see our Roach Treatment Guide for more information.

Typically one gallon of finished solution of Temprid SC will cover 1000 square feet.

When measuring Temprid  be sure to keep the lid on the right side closed. Remove the lid on the left side and squeeze the bottom of the bottle until the product goes up the straw and into the measure cup. 

You do not want to mix Temprid with Termidor for ants. Termidor is considered a non - repellent and a stand alone product. You would dilute 0.8 oz per gallon water.

Temprid SC should only be applied to indoor cracks and crevices when children, pets and others are not present. Once the product has completely dried, they can re-enter.

Temprid SC will just kill wasps that come in contact with the product. It does not prevent them from building nests in the area. The recommended mixing ratio is 16 ml per gallon of water. This can be used every 30 days outdoors.

Please check out our Wasp Guide for tips on how to treat and prevent wasps.

Temprid SC Insecticide can be mixed in smaller amounts of water as long as the dilution rate is halved as well so that should be fine.

Suspend SC and Temprid SC are both labeled to eradicate spiders and their food source. We do offer Temprid SC in our Spider Control Kit. You would make an indoor crack and crevice application once every 90 days and an outdoor application once a month. Please take a few moments to review our Spider Control Article for more helpful tips on eradication and prevention.

There is no valid reason to mix the Temprid SC with the Cy-Kick CS as they are both synthetic pyrethrins that would work just fine on their own.  You should never mix 2 insecticides together unless both labels specifically state they are safe for mixing.  Insecticides are very specifically formulated to work with certain ratios and adding any other chemical to the mix can offset the ability of the product to work properly.

Temprid SC can be sprayed around livestock housing but we would recommend to avoid any water source as well as food source. We would also recommend using something like Revenge The Huge Reel Fly Tape, Flies Be gone Flly Traps, and Maxforce Granular Fly Bait along with FBS-1 Fly Bait Stations. Please check out our How to Get Rid of Flies article for more in depth information.

When using Temprid SC the temperature of the water is not an issue. Room temperature water normally is fine to use.

While Bedlam and Temprid SC are labeled to be applied in some of the same areas we would not recommend that this be done.  The products are best used in conjunction with each other to treat different areas.  Bedlam would be applied to the mattress folds and seams and spraying in cracks and crevices such as drawers and runners of drawers, bed frames, picture frames, underneath baseboards, bookcases corners etc. Temprid SC can be applied as a coarse, low-pressure spray to harborage areas including crevices, along baseboards, behind bed frames and headboards, beneath beds and furniture, and to box springs and bed frames.

Please take a few minutes to read over the Bedbug Treatment guide so that you may better understand what is needed to eliminate bedbugs in your home

You shoud not apply Temprid SC or any other insecticide if temperatures are near or below freezing. This is a water-based product that could freeze in your sprayer. Also, it would be wasteful to spray in temperatures that cold because there would not be any insects surviving in those temperatures.

Yes, you can mix Temprid SC Insecticide with Tekko Pro.  You would dilute 0.5 oz Temprid and 1oz Tekko into one gallon of water.
