When you are spraying Temprid SC for bed bugs, it is recommended that you spray every 7-10 days until you do not see activity for 30 days. How long the product takes to work depends on how severe the problem is to begin with, your other treatment methods, and how thorough treatments are. Temprid SC does offer a long residual, however it is important to perform follow-up treatments at close intervals to kill newly hatched bed bugs that may be present in the area. Please see our Bed Bug Treatment article for more information.

Temprid SC and Tekko Pro are 2 different products. Temprid SC is an insecticide that provides quick knockdown and long residual control of many different insect pests. Tekko Pro is an insect growth regulator (IGR), which does not kill anything, but stops juvenile pests from growing into adults so that they are unable to reproduce. These two products may be used together in the same tank mix to give you both actions in one spray.
