  • Asked by Doug from San Diego, Ca
    06/27/2013
    Q
    Why can't Temprid SC be used as a broadcast spray to carpets for bed bugs?
    When I am treating for bed bugs, I tend to see them on the carpets walking around (on heavy infestations). The label for Temprid SC states to not fan spray or broadcast the entire carpet area. I feel like it would kill the wandering bed bugs on the carpet if it were allowed. I am wondering if it has been proven to get people sick or why it cannot be applied this way. thank you. Ps. Do you have any recommendations for a product to use to kill bed bugs on large carpeted areas?
    A
    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.

  • Asked by Harvey from Houston Tx.
    01/17/2018
    Q
    Can you apply Temprid SC outdoors in cold weather?
    Freezing temps
    A

    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.

  • Asked by Lim
    08/18/2018
    Q
    How often should Temprid be applied?
    I read Temprid has a residual effect of at least 30 days. Why then do pest control professionals typically perform the second treatment with Temprid two weeks after the first application? May i also confirm that it is fine to apply Cimexa dust even on surfaces which have been previously treated with Temprid, so as long as Temprid has dried? Thank you in advance!
    A

    Temprid SC Insecticide has an indoor residual of approximately 90 days and an outdoor residual of approximately 30 days.  It can be applied as frequently as every 10-14 days per the label instructions, depending on the pest you’re treating for.  Cimexa Dust should not be applied in areas treated with Temprid SC.  Typically, that is used in cracks and crevices and other places you can’t use a liquid insecticide for.
