    Q
    How do I use Tempo SC Ultra and will it hurt my plants?
    I have a millipede problem. They seem to be coming out at night from my mulched areas around my in ground pool. I find many in the pool every morning.
    A

    Tempo SC Ultra is a great product for millipedes as well as many other insects. Tempo SC Ultra. It is labeled for use on plants and is not known to cause damage to healthy plants. Millipedes need moisture to survive, and they prefer hanging out in dark damp places, which is why they hang out in the mulch and are attracted to the pool and the basement. A good barrier spray around the mulch beds and around the house will help. However, the main issue is the moisture. If you can eliminate some of the moisture issues, then you will minimize the harborage areas for the millipedes. Some ways of doing this are to make sure all shrubbery and bushes are cut back from the house at least two feet. Also, rake back any mulch against the house in flower beds at least 6 inches. This will let the ground dry up against the house and there will be less likely of a chance the millipedes will want to go towards the dry area. If you re-mulch every year and don’t clean out the old mulch, then this is also a problem. You should remove some of the mulch near the pool and house, and eventually consider replacing with a ground cover that doesn't’t hold moisture down as much as mulch, such as pine straw or even better, decorative rock that stays for years and lets the ground breathe.

    Q
    Tempo Ultra vs Temprid SC for scorpions
    Which product would you recommend for interior scorpion control?

    Q
    Will Tempo kill a rose chafer? Does this product work directly to insects or do they have to ingest the leaves?
    I have these beetles that appear to be an infestation. When I look them up on the internet, they appear to look like a rose chafer beetle. A flowered shrub was littered with them and now they are moving to a newly planted river birch and are eating up the foliage. I applied Tempo already and let dry, it has since rained, but the beetles keep coming in swarms. How often can I apply this product. It works great, but the beetles just keep coming, I don't want to over spray and kill my new tree.
    A
    Tempo should not hurt the bush at all and is commonly used on turf and ornamentals.  You can spray the tree/shrub as often as needed.  The Tempo does not kill the bugs when they ingest the leaves, it just kills them by touch and when the beetles land on a leaf they pick up the product on their bodies.  The plant should not absorb the product due to the waxy coating on the leaves.

  • Asked by Jessica from Cave In Rock Il
    08/08/2013
    Q
    Will Tempo harm fowl such as chickens or quineas if they are on the treated area after the spray has dried?
    I know that fowl peck the ground and eat bugs however I have a serious flea problem and my guineas are not yet old enough to be turned out. I want to spray my yard and barn
    A
    Unless the chickens are consuming the Tempo SC directly there should be no effect on the bird or their eggs. Once the product has dried, it only has a toxicity level of that to kill something as small as an insect. The insect walks across it, picks up a little bit on their feet/bodies and ingests it as they groom themselves. For there to be even a chance of your chicken having any effect from the Tempo on the bugs, they would have to eat at least their weight worth in grasshoppers that have died from it.  All animals need to removed from the treatment area while applying until the application dries.

    Q
    How long after a rain do I need to wait to apply Tempo SC?
    I'm hosting a party and want to spray my yard. It rained overnight and could possibly rain in the afternoon before the party. Wondering if the product will still work or if it is better to wait.
    A
    Tempo SC Ultra will hold up very well in the rain, but you just need to apply it when it is not going to rain for about 3 to 4 hours so it has time to dry and set.
