To remove the Temprid SC residual you can mop, steam, or scrub the product off the baseboards and walls once it has dried. Temprid will not be absorbed into the floors or furniture if has been stained or treated in anyway and can be removed as instructed.
Temprid SC and Suspend SC are both products that contain different active ingredients that are classified as a synthetic pyrethroid so they really are very similar in the way that they work. Unlike Suspend, Temprid offers a unique dual mode of action by combining two powerful and effective residual insecticides: beta-cyfluthrin and imidacloprid. (Imidacloprid is in a different class of insecticides, neonicotinoids.) The result is Temprid, which provides quick knockdown and long residual control and works great for resistance strains of some pests. It all comes down more to what you are treating for when deciding which would be best for your situation. Feel free to contact our Customer Service at 866-581-7378 M-F 9a-5p EST for further assistance with your specific situation.
If the soil was treated topically with Dominion 2L within the past six months, I would wait to apply the Temprid SC up against the structure in the same area. If the area was treated prior to that time, you can apply Temprid SC for a perimeter treatment for the other insects that crawl on top of the soil.
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.
Temprid SC/Gentrol/Phantom II Spray are all designed to dry clear when applied as directed. As with all chemicals, be sure to perform a test spot treatment in the areas prior to treating.Please also visit our Bed Bug Control Guide for helpful tips and videos!
Per the Temprid SC product label:
If on skin: • Take off any contaminated clothing.
• Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.
Temprid SC is a great choice for spiders including yellow sac spiders. You will want to treat monthly on the exterior and focus on cracks and crevices where they can forage inside. You can also treat the interior crevices quarterly. Please take a few moments to review our Spider Control Article for more helpful tips.
When mixing Temprid SC, you can use regular tap water. It is mixed at 8 ml per gallon of water for most applications per 1,000 sq ft area. Please refer to the product label for complete mixing and application instructions.
Yes, Temprid SC Insecticide is labeled to be applied in and around a home that has pets. Keep them out of the area during the application and they can return when the treated areas are completely dry. Your pet would need to ingest tons and tons of treated insects to have an effect on her.
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.
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 you are spraying Temprid SC for bed bugs, it is recommended that you spray every 7-10 days until you do not see activity for 30 days. How long the product takes to work depends on how severe the problem is to begin with, your other treatment methods, and how thorough treatments are. Temprid SC does offer a long residual, however it is important to perform follow-up treatments at close intervals to kill newly hatched bed bugs that may be present in the area. Please see our Bed Bug Treatment article for more information.
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.
Temprid SC Insecticide is a concentrated procuct that you mix with water and apply with a pump sprayer following the rates listed on the product label. We have a great video that shows where to spray for perimeter and interior spraying. Please click here to see the video. Steaming is commonly used as a first defense for insect pests since it will kill any life stages on contact. It is best to perform this treatment before applying insecticides so that the steam does not reduce the residual of your insecticide.
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.).
Yes, Temprid SC can be applied by homeowners to their own homes if the product can be shipped to your state. The mixing ratio is 8 ml per gallon of water. This will treat 1000 square feet.
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.
