    Q
    What other products to use in restaurants and delis with German cockroach problem?
    I am a California Branch 2 pest management company. We generally use ExcitR and Temprid-SC according to the label. Any other precautions or products you recommend?
    A

    Temprid SC and ExciteR are both labeled to be used in restaurants. ExciteR provides a quick kill and flush out of insects while Temprid SC will also provide a quick knockdown and a great residual. We recommend incorporating a roach bait such as Maxforce FC Magnum along with an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) like Gentrol IGR. Baiting and sanitation is key for any roach program.


    Using Maxforce FC Magnum you get five times the active ingredient(Fipronil), plus a new technology called ContactX that kills roaches even when they just touch the bait. Other roaches touch or eat the dead roach and spread the bait again, controlling the entire colony, even the roaches you can't see.

    Gentrol IGR is the "birth control" for roaches. IGR's prevent the immature roaches from becoming adults therefore they are not able to reproduce. Mix 1oz Gentrol with 8ml of Temprid SC in a 1 gallon hand pump sprayer per 1,000 sq ft area.

  • Asked by Bob from Union, Nj
    11/30/2014
    Q
    Can I use Bedlam Plus aerosol and Temprid liquid for baseboards at the same time?
    I notice in your answers to others you mention you can use Bedlam Plus aerosol and Temprid liquid for baseboards, my question is should I use both on baseboards or just one? If just one, which is preferred?
    A
    You would typically use the Temprid SC along the baseboards and use an aerosol like the Bedlam Plus along areas it would be more useful like the crevices of dresser drawers and cracks of shelving, and along the sides of the mattress seams or couch cushions. While you could use the Bedlam Plus along the baseboards areas since it is labeled for use in that space, the Temprid would be a much better option and more cost effective and less time consuming that trying to cover that large of a surface with a can. If you feel it necessary to use the Bedlam Plus along the baseboards at some point, you could always alternate your sprays every 7 days with Bedlam Plus and Temprid.

    Q
    We want to treat our building for bed bugs and roaches.
    We have a huge building and would like to treat our building ourselves. Do you have to have a license? Can we buy chemical by the 55 gallon drum?
    A

    Topurchase you do not need a license as long as the state you are in is not listed on the website as not for sale to with Temprid SC. It is not available in a 55 gallon drum.

    Temprid SC actually comes in our Bed Bug Kit Commercial and Commercial Roach Control Kit along with other products that are most recommended to treat for these pests.  Temprid alone would not be enough to eliminate either completely.

    Please take a moment to read over our Roach article and our Bed Bug article.  Each will tell you how to treat for these pests and the products that you should be using.

    Q
    What IGR should I mix with Temprid for fleas?
    What IGR works best with Temprid for fleas?
    A
    Temprid SC is labeled for fleas, but it can only be used outside. If this is the treatment you're looking for, you can use Martins IGR along with it. We do recommend using the Outdoor/Indoor Flea Kit which includes Onslaught Insecticide, which can be broadcasted onto carpeted areas, and Martins IGR.

  • Asked by August from Hawaii
    03/26/2015
    Q
    Can you explain how Temprid SC becomes safe after drying but isn't safe during application?
    Never had any pest control service before & have no experience on the subject. Recently moved to tropics where this product must be sprayed monthly. I'm concerned with my cat who rubs, lays, and brushes up against the walls then licks himself. Also afraid he may eat a pest that has been exposed to Temprid. Would that have an effect on the cat, whether dry or not? Whats the difference chemically?
    A
    The reason an application of Temprid SC is safe once dry is because when it is dry the product as adhered to the surface and will not be so easily removed.  While it is still wet it would be easy for the cat to ingest it if they were to lick the area.  It only takes a small amount of the active ingredient to harm an insect but for a cat they would have to either physically ingest a large portion of the actual product or at least their weight in bugs that died after contacting Temprid.

  • Asked by Oz from Sydney, Nsw
    05/19/2015
    Q
    What is the best way to get rid of German cockroaches in restaurants?
    I am a pest controller in Sydney, Australia. I spray Temprid on skirting boards, under the appliances and fridges and cookers, then use gels in cabinets, corners. Is that effective? Thanks
    A

    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.

    Q
    I ordered Temprid SC and I'm wondering if Talstar is more appropriate for general pest control inside and outside the house.
    I just placed an order and I'm wondering if I ordered the right product. I ordered Temprid SC and I'm wondering if Talstar is more appropriate for general pest control inside and outside the house. My biggest problem is small spiders nesting on my walls and silverfish.
    A

    Actually, Temprid SC is great for spiders and other insects including silverfish. It has a quicker knockdown and a long lasting residual. It is labeled for general pest control for many insects for indoor and outdoor applications. You will mix 0.8 fl oz per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft and apply to indoor cracks and crevices once every 90 days inside and once a month to the exterior of the home.

  • Asked by Leigh from Lodi,ca
    05/30/2015
    Q
    I need to know what specific type of face mask/respirator to buy when using the Temprid SC.
    I looked in the MSDS, I understood it to say use the appropriate level protection for the actual concentration of aerosol you're needing to be protected from. So do i need a big fancy one or can I just buy a $20 spray paint & pesticide respirator from my local home depot? Also it says to wear tightly fitting eye goggles. Any suggestions on where to find kid size I guess because I'm very petite.
    A
    We do carry an inexpensive respirator mask that can be used when appying a water based insecticide such as Temprid SC. We do carry goggles but not aware of anyone that carries a kid size. Both the mask and goggles are in our Basic Safety Kit that also contains coveralls, shoe covers and chemical resistant gloves.

    Q
    Will Termidor SC or Temprid SC kill black widow and brown recluse spiders?
    A
    Termidor SC and Temprid SC will both kill spiders. Termidor SC is only labeled to be applied 1 ft up and 1 ft out directly up against the outside of the structure twice a year. Temprid SC is labeled for indoor (crack and crevice) and outdoor applications. You will treat once a month outside and once every three months indoors for the best results.

    Q
    Treating stuffed animals
    Will this work?: I have some more likely than not infested stuffed animals. Some can't be laundered and the others still seem to be a problem even after multiple hot water washes and/or multiple double high heat dryings. Could I cover the entire inside of a bag with Temprid SC Insecticide, let it dry then place stuffed animals inside bag, remove air and leave sealed tight for "X" amount of days to kill infestations? Or even inset a rag that has been saturated and allowed to dry? Is it safe and will it work? If so, how long would I leave the bag(s) sealed? Would the stuffed animals still be safe for a toddler? He doesn't put them in his mouth but does snuggle at times. I understand that a person shouldn't come in contact with Temprid long term but perhaps I could even insert a barrier in between like old pillow cases. I am on a fixed income and have already spent my bill $$ to help fight these things so Nuvan Pro strips are not a possibility at this time. I'm all for going out of my way using some clever problem solving techniques but I need to know if it will work and be safe. PS: tossing the animals aren't an option right now. My toddler is Autistic and he is very attached to (has formed imaginary playmate attachments with since he was 9 months old) his animal buddies. It would be devastating to him if even 1 disappeared; (Believe me...I'm the one who launders them, lol. As it stands right now I have to leave them sealed in bags outside and take them out daily so he can see and play with them, strip his clothes off before we go in and bag and wash them then quickly bath him. Because of this daily ordeal his play place of choice is outside...all day long, in Florida where the temp is currently 102 degrees and I have things I need to do inside. Any thoughts and/or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance.
    A
    No, Temprid SC should not be sprayed on stuffed animals or sprayed in a bag to place stuffed animals in. We would recommend placing all the stuffed animals in the dryer at high heat for at least an hour or placing them all in a bag and using Nuvan Pro Strips.

    Q
    Temprid and Bedlam Plus
    If I've already used Temprid on my metal bed frame, but 7 days have passed, may I alternate and use Bedlam plus on the bed frame? I don't think the Temprid got them all and I heard Bedlam kills eggs better. I'd like to use the Temprid for cracks and crevices but alternate between Bedlam and Temprid on the bedframe and box spring every 7-14 days. I was told "alternating" chemicals can be effective. Advise?
    A
    Please keep in mind it takes time to eradicate bed bugs.  Yes, you can alternate chemicals. The Temprid and Bedlam Alternation is a great plan. Be sure you are applying per label. Temprid for Bed bugs can be applied every 7 days and Bedlam every 2 weeks.
