Customer Reviews for Tempo 1% Dust Insecticide

There's not enough time or words to say what a great product! When I read the reviews and saw that others were going through the same anguish that I was, I had to take a chance on it. Now I can add to their stories of success and say "thank you" for the peace of mind that I now have! The wasp problem was underneath the siding that overlapped cement block. They found a very small opening and I'm sure building their nest in the block! All of the other products I tried were useless! A one time application of Tempo 1% Dust with the Bellow Duster and it is a done deal. Thank you for the product and for the super customer service!

My husband has been stung this year 3 times by Hornets & Yellow Jackets, so we NEEDED something to HELP us kill them. We tried so so many other things that you could buy off the shelf with NO LUCK. Spent a lot of $$ on these so-called products that kill bees but they did NOT. Then I found this GREAT web site called Do MY own Pest Control, WOW was I impressed with the site and the products they offered. I had used TERMINIX for over 20 years and DROPPED there service after I found this Co. Not only do they have all the things you need to do it yourself they have GREAT PRICES too. The Tempo 1% dust KILLED ALL THE BEES just like the site said it would within a day...They offer ALL you need to do it right. The videos on the site are so very HELPFUL to make sure you do the job right. I got the hand held blower to go along with the dust so to make sure it was done correctly. I don't think there is a better place to buy the things you need to do the job yourself safely and right. I'm happy and will be back if I need anything else to help me fight the BUG WAR...

I had bees nests in two places last summer that were difficult to reach. This product took care of them very quickly.

I don't want to speak to soon but - So far so good! I bought this to get rid of my wasp & yellow jacket problem. After reading all the reviews on all the other DUSTS' like the Drione , Delta & this Tempo 1% Dust, I decided to give this one a try. It sounded like the one I needed. I was a little skeptical at first because I just didn't think it was gonna work. After I initially put in all the areas where I had my bee issue, I waited about 3 days & I still saw them but it was still getting cold during some days so I wasn't sure if I put enough in. Like some other reviewers, I then put down a second application in the same areas & it seems to actually be working. It does take a couple days for it to work as the bees have to walk in it & leave & then come back to the nest & it kills them. I don't think I put enough in the first application because it was the first time I used it so I wanted to use it sparingly. (hence the reason I had to do it a second time,) This size bottle will go a long way!! Just make sure you you wear goggles & a mask while applying it because it will tend to fly everywhere. Apply this when it is getting dark or real early in the morning when the bees are less active. AN EXTRA NOTE: You will need to purchase the "Bellow Hand Duster" to apply it correctly!! It is priced at $12.99 on here & it is so worth it !!!!

This dust is awesome. I bought it to get rid of Carpenter Bees that were around my porch and roof. I put one application around where the bees were entering and exiting and the next day we found three, big, dead carpenter bees along with horse flys, black flies and a couple big beetles. This dust works on alot of different insects, little pricey but works excellent and you dont need to use alot. I would recommend it to anyone with bees.

I own a hotel, and I hired 2 experts and they charged around $200 for each spot. But the problem was not solved, bees would return within couple weeks. Tired of having to pay for that, I searched and came across this product. And I do regret giving money to those "experts". This product took care of the bees, and its been almost 2 weeks and I have not seen any activity. I greatly recommend this product.

This stuff is awesome! I had to pay an exterminator $118.00 for him to do the same thing and when they came back, I did a Google search and found Do My Own Pest Control. Now for $34.00, I have a quart of the dust and dead Japanese hornets! Best Deal I could find! Thanks Guys

We had yellowjackets nesting in between our outside wall and inside. One dose of the Tempo Dust and they were history. Well worth the investment. Just wish it came in smaller quantities as I have most of a bottle left.

two puffs (bought the bellows duster too) into our soffit space and the next day the wasps were nowhere to be found. previously they were constantly coming and going. pretty amazing.

First of all--very fast shipping! product arrived in a couple of days. My husband used it outside our house, in the soffits and corner of the garage/house. Within two days the were no signs of our pesky little nusiances. We can acutally sit out on our back patio again with out getting buzzed and pestered. And there is no more continuous buzzing in the soffits. The dust works great by getting carried into the small tight places that otherwise can not be gotten too. If you have tried other products before-with no luck, you should really try this one! It worked for us, hopefully it will work for you!

I spent $59 on the dust, bulb. I applied the dust to two nests of wasps and yellow jackets in the ends of logs on our full log home. The pests are gone. It was simple, saved me about $100 because our pest guy charged us $75 a nest in prior years. I have the bulb and 90% of the dust left. Fill the bulb to about 50% with dust and shake the bulb while holding it with the nozzle down. You can then apply dust by squeezing the bulb with it held upright. If you need to apply more, repeat above again and reapply. It works GREAT!!!!

Purchased this product to eliminate a bee's nest that was in close proximity to an entry to my home. This product is easy to use and extremely effective, one application and the bees were eradicated within 12 hours.

Arrrived in good time. One application (after an entire bottle of Spectracide Pro failed) and they were gone the next day. Wow.

I had about 4 places in the sod around my front steps where yellowjackets had dug nests. I was really worried that one of my kids would get stung. I put some Tempo dust around the holes and within 24 hours ALL of the yellowjackets were gone. I haven't seen a single one since!

I wasted money on sprays before I found this product (which is unavailable at home improvements stores for some reason) and I wish I wouldn't have. One treatment and both of my yellow jacket nests are history. Great product, worth every penny.

I had yellow jackets that were landing on concrete block a couple of feet from the ground then crawling under the siding and apparently going into their nest somewhere. I tried several different sprays and none of them worked. I couldn't get it into the hole apparently. The only option I had was to lay down dust in hopes that they would carry it back to their nest. I bought Delta Dust based on my own research. I applied that dust on 4 occasions with no effect. I then sent an e-mail to this sight since I had dealt with them before and they recommended Tempo Dust for yellow jackets. After one application at night I would say 95% of them were gone when I came home from work a 5:00PM. It continued working the the next day. There were a couple still hanging around after 3 days. They actually made a new hole in the mortar that I could see now. The hole was below where I had applied the dust the first time. After one more puff of Delta Dust in the hole they were completely gone.

We ended up with three nests of yellow jackets to deal with in one weekend. Our dog and our neighbors dog roused a huge nest unknown to us previously and in the resultant attacking swarm, we each got stung at least three times each, and the dogs multiple stings as well. We needed to get rid all three nests. We searched online to find the most effective agent and Tempo 1% dust seemed to be it. So we ordered a bottle and a squeeze tube. When it arrived, we duly waited for night time and stole up to the two holes that we needed to eliminate. I first soaked the opening with wasp/hornet spray, and then inserted the nozzle and squeezed out several healthy bursts. We repeated this at the second nest and called it a night. The next morning I checked on activity and one of the nests was still showing some. Yellow jackets were still flyig in and out, but they seemed lethargic. At the second nest, I'd actually plugged the hole with dust and no insects were visible. I checked again the following day and the first nest was inert, no activity at all. The second nest still showed no activity. Our neighbors borrowed the dust bulb because their methods of dealing with the nest had not worked. After two days they too reported that the nest was dead, no activity at all. So three nests and three confirmed kills. I'm keeping Tempo 1% around from now on. Charles Scott

Two applications did it! Puffed it in the entrance at night three days apart....didn't take much either and I had a huge, huge amount of yellow jackets. Highly recommended product. By the way, the company got the stuff here super fast!! I am impressed all the way around. Thanks!

My wife told me there was a hornet's nest in the shed by her garden. While I was looking to see where they were my wife decided to show me where by throwing a rock at the shed near me. She was right it was a big hornet's nest and they found me before I found them. I got my hand on some of this and when my wife wasn't around to help I let 'em have it. The hornets were dead the next day. Lots sooner than it took me to recover. Great stuff.

I had a large amount of Red and Black Mason Wasp and Yellow Jackets building nests in my exterior wall through my wood siding. I used this Tempo dust in every hole or crack I could find and within a day I saw dead Wasps everywhere. This is highly effective stuff. It's been several days and I haven't seen any live Wasps or Yellow Jackets around. Now, I just need to calk the holes in the siding shut to prevent them from ever moving back in. I also used this to stop ants from entering through a small crack near my door. Stopped those little guys too. I highly recommend this product if you have a problem with pests entering through a hole or crack. One will get the powder on them and then carry it back to the nest and get the rest. I would suggest getting a bulb duster to apply this. I just used the bottle end and it can make a mess.

This dust is amazing! We live in the woods/densly forrested area and have had a CONSTANT fight with wasps, bees and hornets making their home under the eaves of our home. We would have to fight to just get in the door without a wasp or two following. We used the dust all along the eaves. We've seen the pests fly back to their beloved eaves only to turn and fly away! It's a miracle dust. We are the perrrfect examples to try this stuff on. We rid ourselves of all the sprays and yellow hanging plastic bee/wasp containers, which did no good; except for the ones we caught. This dust is the best!

At the first sign of bees, we applied early spring application in the cracks of our deck and complete success. We have a very large deck, different levels 12" & 18" off the ground, and last year we could not use because of numerous nests. One application this spring, and now no bees!

This Tempo dust is fantastic, and MANY times better than any sort of spray you'll find at the local home center etc.... I won't even buy those products again, as they were completely useless in eliminating yellow jackets. Those worthless sprays often make bold claims such as "kills the whole nest," you'd be lucky to kill the ones you were directly spraying (that are now trying to attack you!). This tempo dust (and bellows applicator) is 110% the real deal. I will gladly keep buying Tempo dust. It is my #1 choice, and my only need anymore against those winged biting and stinging little devils!

This really works. Skip the applicator and just dump a bunch of powder into the entrance of the nest.

Took immediate care of ridding the patio of the many Circadia Hornet wasps, so we're again enjoying that area w/o them!

I had been fighting yellow jackets for weeks, as they hunkered in behind the siding and front porch of the house. After killing a 100 or so personally and with traps, and still hundreds more around, I went to the hard stuff (tempo dust). I thought you could spray it right out of the bottle and the bulb sprayer was out of stock, but using the bottle alone didn't work, so I has to find a dust sprayer locally to apply. After shooting the dust into the area, no more yellow jackets the next day.

This stuff is the best. After several ineffective treatments with another "dust" product, we used the Tempo dust on our troublesome yellow jackets and it "fixed" them on the first treatment.

We were overrun with ground bees, we couldn't walk out the door of our house without being attacked. I was told by a pest control specialist to buy Tempo. We treated the holes and the next day the bees were all dead. They came back a few days later and we did the same thing. After 2 treatments we have not had any problems. I bought 2 large bottles, so next year we can treat before they get out of hand. Make sure to also purchase the bellow duster. Super easy to use and gets the powder right in the hole.

I used to clean out a nest of bees that had built a nest between the exterior brick and the inside wall of my house. It was easy to use and very effective. The bees were all gone within 24-36 hours.
