When using an insecticide, it is recommended that you keep pets and/or other animals out of the area while the product is being applied. Once Tengard SFR dries, it is safe for animals, such as turtles, to return to the area.
Tengard SFR Termiticide and Insecticide is labeled for adult root weevils but may help with red palm weevils if they come into contact with a treated area. Per the Tengard SFR product label: "Heavily infected trees should be cut down (before the newly hatched beetles fly out of the trees in the spring/summer) and the wood burned or chipped, while other still healthy trees should be sprayed annually to protect them. Apply to the trunk and foliage."
Imidacloprid, which is the active ingredient in Dominion 2L, also appears to be effective as a systemic for preventing them. You would use the soil drench method. Per the instructions on the product label: "Apply 0.2 ounces per inch of trunk diameter uniformly as a drench around the base of the tree in not less than 10 gallons of water per 1000 square feet. Direct application to the root area. Remove plastic or any other barrier that will stop the solution from reaching the root zone."
Tengard SFR Termiticide and Insecticide is not a systemic product and should be applied when rain is not expected within 24 hours. It has a residual of 30 days on outside surfaces and can kill bees that come into contact with a treated surface long enough to receive a lethal dose during this time.
For Lawns, mix 0.4 to 0.8 fluid ounce of Tengard SFR in 4 to 25 gallons of water per 1,000 square feet.Use the higher rate for fast knockdown and increased residual control. Dense or excessive(greater than 3 inches) lawn height and arid conditions may require higher volume application rates. Repeat application if necessary. Application in combination with compatible surfactants or wetting agents may enhance penetration.
No, the odor of Tengard SFR Termiticide and Insecticide will not harm your cats. Be sure to keep them out of the area while you are applying. Once the product has dried completely, it is safe for your pets to return to the area. Do not apply to your cat directly.
Tengard SFR Termiticide and Insecticide should only be applied for chicken mites in barns, feedlots, stables, poultry houses, swine and livestock houses, animal hospitals, pens and kennels and outside meat processing premises. We recommend that you contact your local cooperative extension office for a proper mite identification to determine the exact infestation occurring in the home and vehicle so that we can offer alternative product options that will fit your needs. In the meantime, you could vacuum and steam surfaces, launder curtains, clothing, linens, etc in heat. You can also apply encasements to your mattress, box spring and pillows.
Unfortunately there is no easy solution when it comes to pine beetles/borers. Infected trees should be cut down (before the newly hatched beetles fly out of the trees in the spring/summer) and the wood burned or chipped, while other still healthy trees should be sprayed annually to protect them. Because of the natural boring behavior of the beetle they are protected from topically applied insecticides and systemic insecticides (those injected into the tree or applied as a root drench) have proven ineffective for pine beetle infestations. Healthy trees can be protected before the beetles attack by topically spraying them with a product like Tengard SFR Termiticide and Insecticide or Bifen XTS. The tree should be sprayed from the ground to 15 ft up the trunk to prevent future infestations. You should contact your local cooperative extension office to find out the best time to start spraying in your region.
Tengard SFR is not labeled for lice and is only labeled to treat scabies mites on livestock. Scabies mites and lice live on/in the skin and hair and we do not carry anything to treat humans. Most folks need to visit their doctor to receive the medication needed to get rid of these pests. You may spray your furniture with a product such as Steri-fab to kill anything there, though treating the home is usually not necessary.
Tengard SFR Termiticide Insecticide is labeled for wasps. The label states to control bees, wasps, hornets and yellow jackets, apply at a 0.5% emulsion. Application should be made in the late evening when insects are at rest. Spray liberally into hiding and breeding places, especially under attic rafters, contacting as many insects as possible. Repeat as necessary.
Yes, Tengard SFR Termiticide and Insecticide will kill scorpions both by contact and with the residual, 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 Insecticide is labeled for use on cattle and livestock areas as directed.
