    Can I mix Temprid with oil base instead 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.

  • 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 Ellis from Brooklyn, Ny
    07/30/2013
    Q
    Can I spray Bedlam and Temprid SC insecticide in the same cracks and crevices?
    A

    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

    Q
    Is Temprid SC safe to use around cows and dogs?
    I have a lot of ants and spiders. Would this be a good item for that?
    A
    Yes, Temprid SC is an excellent insecticide. It can be sprayed around the perimeter of your home and areas where the pests have been seen. Once the product is dry, it is safe for dogs and cows to return to the area. We would not recommend spraying when your animals are around. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

    A

    Temprid SC Insecticide can be applied inside cabinets as a spot application to the cracks and crevices and around plumbing. If spraying in cabinets where eating utensils are kept, you would need to remove all items, thoroughly clean the cabinets and let the application completely dry before putting dishes or eating utensils back into the drawers.

  • 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.

    Q
    What is the best insecticide for roaches and general pests in central Florida?
    A

    Temprid SC is one of the best products for roaches and other pests.  You can treat outdoors, one foot up on the foundation and one foot out on the ground. Indoors, you can spray on baseboards areas and cracks and crevices. If you are dealing with German roaches, we would recommend to use something like our Roach Control Kit Rotation A.

  • Asked by Ed from Springfield, Il
    11/19/2013
    Q
    Can Temprid SC be used in a hand held propane fogger?
    We have old fashioned ceiling tiles, the kind with hundreds of little "holes" crevices and such. We have caulked every thing in sight, bleached walls down, steamed, used: Demand, Gentrol, Phantom, Raid for Bed Bugs, bed bug fogger (early on... and found out the hard way they don't work), and Dusted. We soon realized the ceilings had to be infested. Whenever we would be sitting in one place, they would drop down from the ceiling and start biting away. We called in a well know exterminator service to knock these things out. They came in, supposedly treated... using 3 (THREE) ounces of Phantom spray and dusted two of the four bedrooms. They claimed they didn't see any evidence of bed bugs though. We provided several tape specimens which they agreed were bed bugs. We told/showed them where they were caught and seen. We didn't have the money to hire an exterminator, so we financed the services. Here we are, over $2,000 spent to eliminate these things and treatment didn't seem to make a dent. We came back to DoMyOwn and purchased Temprid. This HAS made a difference. We know the ceiling is still harboring them due to all the perfect hiding and gripping aspects. We need something we can use to cover these areas. Since we have seen such great results with Temprid (in spray cans), we would like to use a hand fogger to apply Temprid SC to the ceilings. Will the fogger affect the Temprid in any way or make it ineffective? How would we mix to use in fogger?
    A
    No, Temprid SC is not labeled to be applied in a fogger. Temprid SC can be used indoors as a spot treatment or as a void injection by mist, foam, or crack and crevice spray, and outdoors as a perimeter treatment, general surface spray, or foliar application to established landscape ornamentals. Always read the product label completely before use.
    Foggers are not recommended for bedbugs. Bedbugs hide directly in cracks and crevices, foggers meanwhile only go straight up in the air and then come straight down onto to surfaces. Foggers do not penetrate into cracks and crevices where bedbugs harbor. The key to bedbug elimination is good quality products and thorough treatments. You will want to use Temprid through a hand pump sprayer to more effectively treat the ceiling's cracks and crevices.

  • Asked by Jess from Manchester
    06/26/2015
    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.

  • Asked by Jennifer from St. Louis, Mo
    05/29/2018
    Q
    How long will it take the Temprid and Cimexa to get rid of my bed bugs?
    A

     

    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.
