I know indoor Brown Dog Ticks are harder to eliminate. I read that's it's good to use IGR to help. Does this product work for Brown Dog Ticks and does it have a insect growth inhibitor?
Tempo SC Ultra is labeled for ticks in general including ticks that may transmit Lyme Disease and Rocky Mountain Fever. It is labeled to be applied at the rate of 8ml to 16ml per gallon of water. Repeat applications every 21-30 days as needed outdoors. If looking for an insecticide specifically for Brown Dog Ticks, Talstar P lists Brown DOg Ticks on the product label at the rate of 0.5 to 1 fl oz per gallon of water. Repeat applications every 21-30 days as needed outdoors. These insecticides do NOT contain an IGR (insect growth regulator) therefore it is recommended to add the IGR to the tank mix to help stop the growth cycle of the target insects. Archer IGR is one of the most recommended IGR’s due to that is holds up longer in conditions outdoors and does not break down easily in direct sunlight. Please view our Tick Treatment Guide for more information.
