  • Asked by Theresa from Salem, Oregon

    Q
    Can Tempo SC Ultra be used on home ceilings for flies?
    Would too much residue land on floor and walls from spray? We have a retreat center across from a horse boarding facility and experience horrible fly problem inside our dorm buildings. That is where the flies land.
    A

    Tempo SC Ultra is applied to indoor cracks and crevices only, not as a space spray, per product label instructions. There would be too much getting on the floor when treating the ceiling. Suspend SC is labeled for treating ceilings. Please refer to the product label for specific application instructions. We would suggest applying a drop cloth on the floor while applying so that nothing gets on the floor surfaces.

  • Asked by Tim from Fargo, Nd
    09/08/2015
    Q
    If I spray my yard for mosquitoes, should Tempo SC Ultra work for 3 to 4 weeks? What if I mow my grass in this time?
    A

    We recommend that you mow your lawn 1-2 days prior to applying the Tempo SC Ultra for mosquito control. You will also want to focus on applying the product to the undersides of non-edible tree leaves and shrubs. You can apply also around window and door frames, the siding and cracks and crevices for control. You will mix 8-16 ml per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft. It does have an outdoor residual of 4 weeks.

  • Asked by Kea from Kansas City, Mo

    Q
    Is Tempo SC the best product to use for carpet beetle?
    I've had an exterminator spray my apartment 2 times for carpet beetles. Not sure what product they are using but live beetles are still being found. Is this the best product to use to take care of them myself?
    A

    Tempo SC Ultra will kill carpet beetles that come in contact with it, but Tempo SC Ultra is really designed as a crack and crevice spray. You could use Nyguard Plus, which is safe to use on carpets. Please be sure to keep these tips in mind as well.

    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.

    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 Miranda from Bricelyn, Mn
    07/05/2013
    Q
    How do I know if I put enough Tempo SC in my yard to get rid of Mosquitoes?
    A
    If you used the Tempo SC at the rate of 8ml per gallon of water and treated the harborage areas until wet, but not dripping then you have applied it for sufficient coverage. Make sure when treating for mosquitoes you are spraying in the foliage of neighboring trees, bushes and ornamentals as well as moist areas of your lawn where they will tend to lay their eggs. Tempo is a residual product and will last at least 30 days outdoors so only spray in monthly intervals. It can take several weeks for you to see a noticeable drop in the population so make sure you give the product plenty of time to work and bring the activity down to a tolerable level. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Q
    How to treat for fleas in my garage and indoors, I already have Tempo SC Ultra?
    I'm a firm believer in tempo SC... what would like advice on how to get rid of fleas in my garage... also the best way to spray inside my house for any fleas getting there
    A
    Yes, Tempo SC Ultra will treat Fleas. We also recommend mixing in an IGR that will help break down the reproductive cycle. You can use something like Precor IGR. You can use this mixture both indoors and out in the garage. You want to make sure to retreat two weeks after your initial application as the life cycle of a flea is two weeks. We also recommend applying a product like Alpine Flea Insecticide that can safely be applied to carpets and upholstered furniture. It is easily applied with a sweeping motion. PLease find out video on Indoor flea treatment.
