    Q
    Can Tengard be mixed with Demand or Talstar to have a better kill on pests?
    A

    There is no valid to reason toe mix Tengard with other insecticides such as Demand CS or Talstar P.  It would not make either work better and can actually have a negative effect, making an area highly repellent so that insects will avoid it and the insecticides cannot do their job.

    09/09/2016
    Q
    Will Tengard SFR kill active termites when used as a spray?
    A

    If you are just doing a topical treatment with Tengard SFR, if termites come in contact with the treated area, they will die. However, if you are treating for an active infestation, it is recommended that you dig a trench around the structure and pour the solution into the trench. A treatment with this product will last approximately 5 years.

  • Asked by Mark from Arnold, Ca

    Q
    What should I use for pine tree beetle control in CA?
    I am trying to protect mature, established pine trees from beetles. I understand the application rates, but I cannot find the intervals (how often) Tengard should be applied.Once a year, quarter, month? A separate question is the height of application. The trees I would be applying the insecticide to are 60' to 80' high. I cannot apply into the canopy as recommended. Would 10'-12' on the trunk work? Thanks for you help!
    A

    Tengard SFR can be used monthly as needed for pine tree beetles. There should not be more than 2 lbs of product used per acre per year. You will spray the lower branches and trunks prior to adult emergence.

  • Asked by Joe from Scottsdale
    02/05/2016
    Q
    Does Tengard SFR Termiticide and Insecticide work to create a barrier and kill scorpions?
    A

    Yes, Tengard SFR Termiticide and Insecticide will kill scorpions both by contact and with the oil that is in the insecticide, however Tengard will not have as long a residual as many other insecticides that are popular for this pest. Our Scorpion Control Kit includes Demand CS, which is water-based and micro-encapsulated to hold up better in sunlight, heat, and rainfall, plus a UV flashlight to help spot scorpions at night and glue boards to help trap and monitor scorpions.

    08/16/2010
    Q
    Would Tengard SFR work on a very large area?
    I'm looking for something to treat about 50 acres. Would this be the best product, or is there a better one you would recommend?
    A
    Tengard SFR is a great product and can be sprayed over very large areas for may insects pests. We would really need to know what type of pest your are trying to eliminate and what type of area you are treating to tell you the best product to use. In most cases, it is not necessary to treat the an entire piece of land to get rid of a specific insect pest, but instead treat the target area where the specific insect pest harbors or forages.

  • Asked by Alan from Sierra Foothills At 4,250ft Elevation Ca
    03/26/2014
    Q
    Is Tengard or Bora Care best to treat stress trees from beetle invasion? or straight permethrin
    We have dozens of trees subjected to latestest CA drought, which are susceptible to beetle infiltration, which is fatal. Tengard has been suggested locally, but from your QA section you mentioned Bora Care is better, but did not mention what is best for live trees. We have a short window to be proactive, and want to make the most informed decision. Also, is straight Permethrin an option? Pro and cons so we can proceed. Thanks
    A
    BoraCare is only labeled to be used on cut wood, not live trees. Tengard SFR is a permethrin based product and would be a great choice for helping to prevent an infestation.  The tree should be sprayed from the ground to 15 ft up the trunk to prevent future infestations

  • Asked by Jesus from Burlington,nc
    06/25/2013
    Q
    Is Tengard SFR effective to treat an infestation of powder post beetles?
    A
    You should use a wood treatment product to treat powder post beetles.  Bora-Care is the best wood treatment product available.  Bora-Care will penetrate through the wood and kill the larvae eating the wood no matter where they are in the wood.  However, it can only be applied to raw wood.  It cannot be applied to wood that is painted, stained, or sealed.  If your wood is painted, stained, or sealed, then you will need to drill holes and inject Bora-Care or sand the finish off of the wood, treat with Bora-Care, and then refinish the wood. Dominion is not a wood treatment product and will not move through the wood.  You should use a wood treatment product like Bora-Care

  • Asked by Eddiy from Phoenix, Az
    04/24/2017
    Q
    Will Tengard SFR kill red palm weevil?
    A

    Tengard SFR Termiticide and Insecticide is labeled for adult root weevils but may help with red palm weevils if they come into contact with a treated area. Per the Tengard SFR product label:  "Heavily infected trees should be cut down (before the newly hatched beetles fly out of the trees in the spring/summer) and the wood burned or chipped, while other still healthy trees should be sprayed annually to protect them.  Apply to the trunk and foliage." 

    Imidacloprid, which is the active ingredient in Dominion 2L, also appears to be effective as a systemic for preventing them. You would use the soil drench method.  Per the instructions on the product label:  "Apply 0.2 ounces per inch of trunk diameter uniformly as a drench around the base of the tree in not less than 10 gallons of water per 1000 square feet. Direct application to the root area. Remove plastic or any other barrier that will stop the solution from reaching the root zone."

  • Asked by Dee from Mooringsport, La
    07/04/2017
    Q
    Is Tengard SFR a systemic product?
    I've been very concerned about letting my husband spray, because I'm getting bees. If the rains will wash it away, we can spray several days before a rain and then let the rain wash it away, but if it comes back in the plants, it will kill my bees.
    A

    Tengard SFR Termiticide and Insecticide is not a systemic product and should be applied when rain is not expected within 24 hours.  It has a residual of 30 days on outside surfaces and can kill bees that come into contact with a treated surface long enough to receive a lethal dose during this time.

    How much Tengard do I use for a gallon to spray for fleas outside?
    A
