Yes, Tengard SFR Termiticide and Insecticide will kill scorpions both by contact and with the oil that is in the insecticide, however Tengard will not have as long a residual as many other insecticides that are popular for this pest. Our Scorpion Control Kit includes Demand CS, which is water-based and micro-encapsulated to hold up better in sunlight, heat, and rainfall, plus a UV flashlight to help spot scorpions at night and glue boards to help trap and monitor scorpions.

Tengard SFR Termiticide and Insecticide is labeled for Zimmerman Pine Moth. According to the label you can use 4 to 8 fl oz per 100 gallons which would break down to 0.04 - 0.08 oz per gallon of water. We recommend to figure out how many gallons of water you need to soak the trunk thoroughly before mixing the product and applying it. Also, check with your local cooperative extension office for the best time of application in your area as some literature states that Spring applications have proven most effective and late Summer and Fall applications haven't been very effective.
If you are just doing a topical treatment with Tengard SFR, if termites come in contact with the treated area, they will die. However, if you are treating for an active infestation, it is recommended that you dig a trench around the structure and pour the solution into the trench. A treatment with this product will last approximately 5 years.
Tengard SFR Termiticide and Insecticide is not really selective so it would kill any bees that land on a treated surface.
Tengard SFR Termiticide and Insecticide can be harmful to honey bees if sprayed directly or if they contact a treated surface long enough to receive a lethal dose.

We have a Carpenter Bee Kit that is our most popular product(s) for carpenter bee control. The kit comes with a dust and a hand duster to apply in the existing holes. The dust will kill any carpenter bees that are in the holes and will kill the larvae when they hatch. After a few days all of the adult carpenter bees that are in the holes will die. You can patch the holes at this point. The kit also comes with a liquid concentrate that you mix with water and apply using a one gallon hand pump sprayer. You should treat all of the fascia boards or any surfaces that the carpenter bees seem to be going after. This will prevent any new holes. When a carpenter bee lands on the wood surface to make a new hole, it will pick up the product you sprayed on its body and die when it grooms itself. Carpenter bees are only around for a short time in the spring, and then again in the fall. You will have to apply both times of the year and then after 2 seasons there will not be any more larvae in the wood.
Asian beetles are impossible to control 100% because they can easily fly in from outlying areas. When used as directed, Tengard will help eliminate a large portion of the Asian population before they enter structures or damage plants. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.
