While Tengard SFR Termiticide and Insecticide is labelled for bedbugs, it would not be our top choice for bed bugs. Bedbugs require a combination of products and repeat applications every 7-10 days until you can go a full 30 days without seeing any signs of bed bugs.
We recommend using one of our Bed Bug Kits that offer the top products to thoroughly treat all the necessary areas where bed bugs hide. Please take a few moments to review our How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs article for more information on treating and preventing this pest
The residual of Tengard SFR Termiticide Insecticide can last up to 90 days indoors. If you are having a lot of ant activity you may need to add baits to your treatment. We recommend to read our article on How to Get Rid of Ants for more tips.
We would recommend a product such as Talstar P at the rate of 0.25 to 0.5 fl oz per gallon of water. Please be sure to review the product label for complete application instructions.
There is not a way to gain additional residual time from Tengard SFR Termiticide Insecticide . It should only be applied as directed.
Tengard SFR Termiticide Insecticide should not be applied to grazing areas. For insect issues around pastures with grazing horses, your options are really limited. As a spray the only option we have is the Essentria All Purpose, which is a natural insecticide that will leave a residual.
Yes, Tengard SFR would kill roaches and can be used indoors and outdoors. If you have an infestation inside of roaches, instead consider one of our Roach Control Kits as this would be a much more effective option along with non-chemical efforts for a successful program. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article here.
Tengard SFR is oil-based so could leave an oily sheen on treated surfaces. It can not be used on windows.
Per the product label, Tengard SFR Termiticide Insecticide is not labeled to treat psyllids. I would recommend Fertilome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench, Bonide Systemic Insect Control, or Bayer Advanced 12 Month Tree & Shrub Insect Control.
Tengard SFR is not specifically labeled to control squash vine borers. Instead, you may use a product such as Fertilome Triple Action. Please be sure to review the product label for more information and complete application instructions.
Tengard SFR Termiticide is not labeled for use against mites in trees so we could not give a mix rate for that purpose. You would want to use an insecticide labeled for mite control in landscaping and trees such as Onslaught Fastcap, or a specific miticide such as Avid Miticide for insects like spider mites.
We would not advise eating from anything that was sprayed with Tengard SFR Termiticide Insecticide for at least a year
Tengard SFR should not be applied near nesting birds. We recommend to apply where birds are not present. Birds are sensitive to Pyrethroids.
We also like to let our customers know that the Cicada Killer wasps are beneficial insects that provide free pest control for a couple of months each year. Cicada killer wasps paralyze and provision their burrows with other insects to feed their young. The beneficial Cicada killer wasps, while large and intimidating to see, are mostly harmless and there have been very few reports of anyone getting stung by just being near them. In most cases where a sting was reported, the wasps were being held or molested in some way. Cicada Killer Wasp stings are also reported to be almost painless.
Tengard SFR Termiticide Insecticide should not be applied to grazing areas. For insect issues around pastures with grazing horses, your options are really limited. As a spray, the only option we have is the Essentria IC Pro, which is a natural insecticide that will leave a residual.
