I'm mainly using it for cockroaches indoors. Mostly kitchen and dining area. What's the difference between Tempo and Temprid and what are the advantages/disadvantages
The active ingredient in Tempo SC actually is also in the Temprid SC along with the active igredient from Merit, Imidacloprid. In Temprid SC, beta-cyfluthrin (Tempo) provides a quick knockdown for immediate control, while the imidacloprid (Merit) provides long-lasting results and far-reaching control through a transfer effect but kills closer to do so. The two active ingredients affect targets pests differently, offering complete and unique control for the toughest pests, even when resistance is a concern. For roaches it would be recommend to also use an IGR (insect growth regulator) and baits. We have a great guide here that can help.
