    Q
    Will Tengard prevent Asian beetles?
    A

    Asian beetles are impossible to control 100% because they can easily fly in from outlying areas. When used as directed, Tengard will help eliminate a large portion of the Asian population before they enter structures or damage plants. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

  • Asked by Brad from Ashaway, Ri
    03/02/2016
    Q
    Will Tengard SFR control carpenter bees? If so how often will I have to spray
    A

    Tengard SFR could be used to help deter bees from boring into treated areas and kill the ones that contact a treated surface.  It can be applied once a month.

    We do actually have a Carpenter Bee Kit that is our most popular product(s) for carpenter bee control.  The kit comes with a dust and a hand duster to apply in the existing holes.  The dust will kill any carpenter bees that are in the holes and will kill the larvae when they hatch.  After a few days all of the adult carpenter bees that are in the holes will die.  You can patch the holes at this point.  The kit also comes with a liquid concentrate that you mix with water and apply using a one gallon hand pump sprayer.  You should treat all of the fascia boards or any surfaces that the carpenter bees seem to be going after.  This will prevent any new holes.  When a carpenter bee lands on the wood surface to make a new hole, it will pick up the product you sprayed on its body and die when it grooms itself.  Carpenter bees are only around for a short time in the spring, and then again in the fall.  You will have to apply both times of the year and then after 2 seasons there will not be any more larvae in the wood.

  • 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.

  • Asked by Yoel from Miami, Fl
    08/10/2015
    Q
    Will Tengard SFR treat for mosquitoes?
    If so, will mixing with Talstar work?
    A

    Tengard SFR is not labeled for residential control of mosquitoes, so we would not recommend using this product for that use. Talstar P would be an excellent choice for a residual insecticide for mosquito control. Please see our Mosquito Treatment Guide for more information about treating for mosquitoes.

  • Asked by Bryan from Indianapolis, Indiana
    07/27/2015
    Q
    How do I treat my dogs using Tengard SFR Termiticide and Insecticide?
    I've read this can be used to treat dogs instead of buying over priced treatments at the store. I have a 95lb. Akita and 65lb. Collie mix. How do I go about safely treating them for fleas and/or tick control?
    A

    For Tengard SFR it states from the label not to use on animals under 12 weeks of age. The dilution rate states to use 1/4 fl. oz. to 1 1/4 gallons of water as a dip wash. Thoroughly wet the animal to skin with a sponge or rag and let drip dry. If signs of sensitivity occur, bathe your pet with mild soap and rinse with large amounts of water. You want to repeat applications every 2 weeks, if necessary.

  • Asked by Noel from Oklahoma City, Ok
    05/31/2015
    Q
    Does Tengard kill bagworms if sprayed on them and is it safe for the evergreen trees that are infested?
    A

    Tengard SFR is labeled for bagworms and mixed at 4-8 fl oz per 100 gallons of water and is safe for evergreens.

     

    It is important to start control methods before a major infestation occurs. Once the bagworms have matured and have formed the "bag" most chemical control methods will no longer work.

    You can manually control bagworms by simply plucking them off of the infested trees and dropping them into a bucket of soapy water or squishing them.  This control method is most useful during fall, winter and early spring, before the eggs inside the bag have hatched.

    Chemical control may be achieved when the larvae are small and just emerging from the over-wintering bag.  Use a concentrated liquid insecticide such as Talstar or Tempo. Foliage should be thoroughly wetted with the insecticide spray in order to achieve thorough coverage.  When doing an insecticide treatment, timing is key. To find out the correct time of year to treat for bagworms in your region contact you local Cooperative Extension office. These offices can prove to be invaluable when treating for insect pests.

  • Asked by Alan from United States
    05/12/2015
    Q
    I purchased Tengard SFR from you as a pre-treatment against Pine Bark Beetles. How much per gallon?
    The trees are extremely stressed due to Calif drought in the Sierra Nevada Mts, at about 4500ft. We are prohibited from watering the trees, making the situation worse. There are many infested trees in the immediate area. I will be spraying from a hand held hose sprayer, trying to reach as high as possible. Thanks for your expert advice.
    A
    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. You will mix an ounce per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft. We do carry a Chapin Slide Pump Sprayer that will reach over 30 ft! Please let us know if you need anything else.

  • Asked by Zisha from Spring Valley Ny
    03/13/2015
    Q
    What can I buy in NY without exterminator license for Termite control?
    A
    Because NY has such stringent laws, there is a limit to the items that can be shipped to NY. We do have EcoTreat Natural Outdoor Insect Control. It kills and repels termites, as well as various other pests. It is likely that the residual is about 30 days for termites.

    Q
    How does Tengard compare to Dragnet?
    Since Dragnet is not going to be made and sold how does Tengard ?
    A
    Both Dragnet and Tengard are still in production, and both products contain 36.8% permethrin. Dragnet is manufactured by FMC, while Tengard is a generic made by United Phosphorous, Inc. The only differences would be in the non-active ingredients, but the basic dilution rates and uses are exactly the same for both products.

  • Asked by Angela from Fort Collins, Colorado

    Q
    I asked earlier if Talstar P was safe to use on outdoor cushions. The response was it is not to be used on
    furniture and what I'm treating for. I am treating for bird mites. I take care of feral cats and they are constantly being infested with bird mites. I am only able to catch one of the cats to treat with Revolution. The cats love to lounge om the cushions. I was hoping for a residual treatment that would be safe to apply to the cushions. If I use DE the cats won't go near the cushions and I want them to be able to as they enjoy sitting on them, in the sun.
    A
    Have you had a proper identification for these pests? It is likely that cats would not carry bird mites. We would recommend getting these identified for sure so that we can give you a proper treatment plan.

    Q
    Do I reapply the same amount of Tengard to the lawn if it rained 4 hours after the original application?
    I live in the tropics, weather is unpredictable. I applied Tengard about 8:00 am but it rained around noon. If the following day is sunny, do apply the same amount of Tengard again?
    A
    Tengard SFR can hold up to rain. It is important to have 24 hours before the application and 24 hours after the application rain free. Check your local weather forecast prior to making the re-application of the product in the lawn.
