  • Asked by Manuel from Miami, Fl
    08/12/2017
    Q
    Can I prepare and store a mixed solution of Temprid SC and Starycide SC?
    I'm using a mix of 8ml of Temprid and 4ml of Starycide per galon to fumigate against BedBugs. I wanna know if is possible to make and store the final mix so I'll not need to carry and mix both products each time I'll need to fumigate, instead of that will use the prepared mix diluting in a galon of water directly.
    A

    The Temprid SC Insecticide mixture should be used within 24 hours of mixing and then the sprayer should be triple rinsed (including wand and nozzle).

  • Asked by Dana from Alum Creek, Wv
    11/18/2017
    Q
    Which product, Suspend Polyzone vs. Temprid SC Insecticide is better for control of bed bugs?
    Light bed bug activity in two bed rooms of house.
    A

    Temprid SC Insecticide would be the better option over Suspend Polyzone as some strains of bed bugs have some resistant to the active ingredient.  Sprays alone are not enough to eliminate an infestation though.  We have a guide that can help explain what should be done and what other productst to use to get the most success.  "How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs"

    Q
    Can I use Temprid SC Insecticide for termites?
    A

    Although Temprid SC Insecticide technically does have termites on the label, it is not really the best choice.  We would recommend using a termiticide like Taurus SC instead.  You can find more information on doing a complete treatment for termites in our Termite Control Guide.

  • Asked by Lim
    08/18/2018
    Q
    How often should Temprid be applied?
    I read Temprid has a residual effect of at least 30 days. Why then do pest control professionals typically perform the second treatment with Temprid two weeks after the first application? May i also confirm that it is fine to apply Cimexa dust even on surfaces which have been previously treated with Temprid, so as long as Temprid has dried? Thank you in advance!
    A

    Temprid SC Insecticide has an indoor residual of approximately 90 days and an outdoor residual of approximately 30 days.  It can be applied as frequently as every 10-14 days per the label instructions, depending on the pest you’re treating for.  Cimexa Dust should not be applied in areas treated with Temprid SC.  Typically, that is used in cracks and crevices and other places you can’t use a liquid insecticide for.

    Q
    May I apply diatomaceous earth to area after Temprid FX application has dried?
    I applied Temprid FX to affected area and has dried completely but I want to sprinkle diatomaceous earth onto the affected area as well. Is it safe to do this?
    A
    Diatomaceous Earth works best when it's applied into wall voids and areas where it's not easily disturbed. If you sprinkle DE on areas where Temprid FX Insecticide was applied, it will not disrupt the efficacy of the product.

    Q
    Accidentally mixed weaker solution 4 ml per gallon on the third application. What should we do?
    On the first application we mixed 16 ml per gallon. Then 2 weeks later we mixed and applied 8 ml per gallon. Bedbugs have been mostly eliminated, but still find very small ones in sticky traps, so we went with a third application after 8 more days. But I got confused and mixed it at 4ml per gallon and have done the whole house. Should I reapply another 4 ml per gallon mix?
    A
    Yes, you should make a second application of 4 ml Temprid SC Insecticide per gallon water. If it has already been 7-8 days after the first application with 4ml go ahead and apply 16 ml per gallon water.

    If I sprayed with the mixture both times, 7 days apart, and don't use Gentrol with 3rd app, will it be just as affective? Will the Gentrol still work if only Temprid is applied 3rd time?
    A

    Yes, you can alternate using the Gentrol IGR. It will last for up to two weeks. The Temprid SC is labeled to be applied once every 7-10 days per the product label. Please let us know if you need anything else.

  • Asked by Kenny from Tifton Ga
    09/13/2014
    Q
    I want to do regular monthly pest control in my hotel in Tifton, GA area for one whole year.
    If you can suggest pesticides to be used to spray each month and which proportion I can buy kit for whole year and do my own pest control every year. I am having hotel with 70 units in Tifton,GA. I hired pest control company, but they cannot control some pests in rooms like spider, ants and roaches and service is poor. Pl comment and give me detailed layout for year from Jan 2015 till Dec 2015. My hotel in exterior corridor hotel.
    A

    We would recommend using Temprid SC. It has two different active ingredients in it which provide a powerful and effective residual and a quick knockdown. If the infestation is bad, we would recommend using 16 mL per gallon of water and if it is moderate/low, use 8 mL per gallon of water. It does last for up to 90 days indoors and 30 days outdoors. It is labeled for ants, roaches, spiders and various other pests as well. When spraying indoors, you will spray along the baseboards and cracks and crevices. When spraying outdoors, you will spray around the perimeter of the structure.

    Another good thing to prevent pests would be to dust inside the wall voids. You will take off the light sockets and electrical outlets. This will create more of a long term treatment for various pests. You will use a hand duster and do a couple of puffs per outlet/socket. We would recommend using Delta Dust. It is waterproof so if it gets what for any reason, it will still work. Also, it lasts inside the wall voids for up to 8 months if it is undisturbed.

    Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

    Q
    Mixing Products
    Since Dominion 2L Termiticide and Cy-Kick CS Combined have the same active ingredients can I mix them and have it be the same as temprid to treat bedbugs? Seems like mixing these 2 would be cheaper but I have not done the math yet
    A
    Although, the products may be similar, Dominion cannot be used indoors. Temprid up front is the best product for bed bugs. It looks like a pricey product, but actually, it makes alot. For Example, the 400ML bottle will give you approx. 40 gal mixed solution.

  • Asked by Cam from San Diego, Ca
    11/04/2014
    Q
    What other products to use in restaurants and delis with German cockroach problem?
    I am a California Branch 2 pest management company. We generally use ExcitR and Temprid-SC according to the label. Any other precautions or products you recommend?
    A

    Temprid SC and ExciteR are both labeled to be used in restaurants. ExciteR provides a quick kill and flush out of insects while Temprid SC will also provide a quick knockdown and a great residual. We recommend incorporating a roach bait such as Maxforce FC Magnum along with an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) like Gentrol IGR. Baiting and sanitation is key for any roach program.


    Using Maxforce FC Magnum you get five times the active ingredient(Fipronil), plus a new technology called ContactX that kills roaches even when they just touch the bait. Other roaches touch or eat the dead roach and spread the bait again, controlling the entire colony, even the roaches you can't see.

    Gentrol IGR is the "birth control" for roaches. IGR's prevent the immature roaches from becoming adults therefore they are not able to reproduce. Mix 1oz Gentrol with 8ml of Temprid SC in a 1 gallon hand pump sprayer per 1,000 sq ft area.
