  • Asked by Dan from Columbus, Ohio

    Q
    Accidentally mixed weaker solution 4 ml per gallon on the third application. What should we do?
    On the first application we mixed 16 ml per gallon. Then 2 weeks later we mixed and applied 8 ml per gallon. Bedbugs have been mostly eliminated, but still find very small ones in sticky traps, so we went with a third application after 8 more days. But I got confused and mixed it at 4ml per gallon and have done the whole house. Should I reapply another 4 ml per gallon mix?
    A
    Yes, you should make a second application of 4 ml Temprid SC Insecticide per gallon water. If it has already been 7-8 days after the first application with 4ml go ahead and apply 16 ml per gallon water.

    Q
    I mixed Temprid and Gentrol for 1st and 2nd applications, for bedbugs.Im out of Gentrol
    If I sprayed with the mixture both times, 7 days apart, and don't use Gentrol with 3rd app, will it be just as affective? Will the Gentrol still work if only Temprid is applied 3rd time?
    A

    Yes, you can alternate using the Gentrol IGR. It will last for up to two weeks. The Temprid SC is labeled to be applied once every 7-10 days per the product label. Please let us know if you need anything else.

    Q
    Mixing Products
    Since Dominion 2L Termiticide and Cy-Kick CS Combined have the same active ingredients can I mix them and have it be the same as temprid to treat bedbugs? Seems like mixing these 2 would be cheaper but I have not done the math yet
    A
    Although, the products may be similar, Dominion cannot be used indoors. Temprid up front is the best product for bed bugs. It looks like a pricey product, but actually, it makes alot. For Example, the 400ML bottle will give you approx. 40 gal mixed solution.

  • Asked by Cam from San Diego, Ca

    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.

    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.

    Q
    Is Temprid SC the best spray to use to kill yellow sac spiders?
    I have used Temprid and Suspend but they seem to always come back. Is this because of some kind of plant life in my yard? Is there a better option for spray to kill them?
    A

    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.

    Q
    After spraying Temprid SC, when can we lay on the beds or couches?

    Q
    Is it normal for Temprid SC Insecticide to leave a little smell after spraying?
    Apartment was sprayed for bed bugs. Been out of apartment for 7 hours and come back and it had a small pesticide smell. Is it still safe? The bugs are confined to one bedroom and that room was sprayed more heavily and smells worse. We're keeping the door shut and staying out if here for now.
    A

    Temprid SC is known to have little to no odor. You will need to check with the applicator to see if they added a tank mix partner that could have casued a heavier smell to linger.

  • Asked by Justin from Cohoes, New York

    Q
    The exterminator my landlord is using is applying Temprid SC and is telling me to be out of the house for 6 hours.
    On your website it says the product should be dry in about an hour. Why is he telling me 6?
    A

    We are not able to comment on the services or advice provided by a pest control company; however we can tell you that the manufacturer of Temprid SC recommends that people and pets stay out of the area during application and until the product is dry.  The amount of time this takes can vary depending on a number of factors such as the amount of area being treated and how heavily the product is applied, but in most cases this takes an hour or so.

    Q
    Can you spray Temprid and Gentrol on the carpet?
    We are trying to get rid of bed bugs
    A

    Neither Temprid SC Insecticide nor Gentrol IGR can be broadcast across carpets. When you are treating for bed bugs, it is not usually necessary to treate entire carpeted areas.  Treatments should be direted to the cracks and crevices around the room where they are known to hide.  Please review our guide here for the best treatment methods to eliminate bed bugs.

    Q
    After applying Temprid SC, they just fell out of the floor corner molding. How often should I retreat?
    A

    If treating for active bed bugs or roaches, Temprid SC should be reapplied every 7-10 days.  For general maintenance applications, Temprid SC will last for 90 days indoors and 30 days outdoors. 

    When treating for Roaches and Bed Bugs, Temprid SC is not meant to be the sole product in treating and should be used in combination with other products. You can read about Bed Bug Control Kits and Roach Control Kits to learn the process and how to get the results in your treatments.
