Temprid SC Insecticide - Questions & Answers

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.

You can mix Temprid SC Insecticide, Talstar, or any other appropriate insecticide with Gentrol IGR. However, you would not mix Temprid SC and Talstar together; this would be a redundant application of insecticides.

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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. 

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

As soon as the Temprid SC has dried you are free to vacuum normally. Only mopping, steaming or scrubing will pull the product off the baseboards once it has dried.

Yes, Tempo SC Ultra is labeled for usage in cabinets. Please refer to the label for complete mixing and usage instructions.

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.

Temprid SC is only labeled to be mixed with water.  It is a water based product so would not mix well with anything oil based.

Temprid SC, along with many other bed bugs products, are not labeled to be used for treatments across carpet as these are not areas that bed bugs harbor. Although you may see them in heavy infestations crawling across carpets, they are only using those surfaces to get from Point A to Point B to hide in another crevice where the products will be waiting for them. Bed bugs do not like large open areas and will normally only be found in those areas when moving from one crevice to another to get closer to a food source. Vacuuming and steaming carpets is the best treatment for those areas as the bed bugs will come into contact with the places you have treated with the Temprid. If you have questions as to the safety concerns of the Temprid being sprayed on carpets, you can contact Bayer at 1-800-331-2867.

Temprid SC Insecticide cannot be sprayed in air vents.

Temprid SC has a shelf life of 3 to 5 years if stored in a cool dry area. Have a great day!

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.
