    Q
    Will Tempo SC Ultra kill bed bugs and their eggs?
    Can I spray it on carpeting?
    A

    Tempo SC Ultra is not labeled to kill bed bugs. Our bedbug kits come with all top of the line products that are available on the market today, along with instructions to follow. When applied properly, our kits have a very high success rate. We recommend reading our article on How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs for more information on a treatment program using the products and non-chemical efforts.

    Yes, Tempo SC will kill grasshoppers and it will leave a residual of about 4 weeks outdoors and about 3 months indoors.

    Q

    i have a large garden and i do not want to effect the honeybees that visit. will tempo sc kill the honeybees?
    A
    Tempo SC Ultra as well as any other insecticide can be harmful to honeybees in the area.  You should direct any application of pesticides to the stems and leaves of the plant or flower and try not to get any on the actual flowering part where the bees pollinate.

    Q
    Can I spray tempo to kill potato bugs?
    A
    While Tempo Sc will certainly kill potato bugs it cannot be used on edible vegetation. Instead we recommend using Bayer Advanced Vegetable and Garden Spray which contains the same active ingredient as Tempo but a different formulation which allows you to use it on edible vegetation.

  • Asked by Amber from Okc Ok
    11/10/2013
    Q
    Will Tempo SC Ultra kill carpet beetles? We only have wood floors but we have carpet beetles.
    Do we need to add anything with the the Tempo SC Ultra to kill the carpet beatles?
    A

    Tempo SC Ultra will kill Carpet Beetles. We do not recommend applying to hardwood floors. Carpet beetle infestations can be very difficult to control. The best weapon for getting rid of them is to combine cleaning and insecticides.

    • Vacuuming: Carpet beetle larvae like to feed in dark, undisturbed locations like closets, attics, basements, and storage areas. The wide availability of food sources for the larvae (including dust and lint, and pet hair) makes vacuuming the best way to ensure there is minimal food for the larvae to feed on. Vacuuming can also help to remove the larvae and adult beetles already in the home. Regular vacuuming and laundering of rugs, furniture, and linens can help to ensure the beetles are removed and have no food source. If you find a contaminated item, bag and remove this item from your home, if possible.

    • Proper storage: Before storing silks, woolens, or furs, dry clean as the beetles are attracted to stains and soiled garments. Store in a well-sealed container, using mothballs. Mothballs can limit the beetle’s attraction to the wool or silk. Store pet food, dried meat, and other dried animal products in a well-sealed container.

    • Insecticides: For things that cannot be washed or dry cleaned, insecticides are the best bet for prevention and eradication. You can also mix in Gentrol IGR with your Tempo SC. This will help to break down the reproduction cycle.


    Insecticides can be used for spot-treatments, as a boundary at the edges of rugs, under rugs, under furniture, walls and floors of closets, shelving, cracks, and lint or dust accumulating areas. Be careful around oriental rugs or other fabrics, as some insecticides can stain. Never spray clothing or bedding with insecticide, and always read instructions.

  • Asked by Philip from Monrovia, Ca
    02/12/2018
    Q
    Is Tempo Ultra SC better than Demand CS?
    I have been using Demand CS for periodic pest control, and the result is good. Now I am looking into other alternatives that is more powerful than Demand CS. I am kind of looking into getting the Tempo Ultra SC this time. Does it work the same as Demand CS with more power? What are the major differences between the two?
    A

    Tempo SC Ultra and Demand CS contain different active ingredients, but both are classified as a synthetic pyrethroid, so they really are very similar in the way that they work and the pests that they will control.  One is not necessarily better or stronger than the other.
