  • Asked by Amber from Rush, Ky
    04/15/2012
    Q
    What is the difference between Tempo Ultra WP and Tempo SC Ultra?
    I live in the country and need something for general bug control, but mainly for wasp.
    A
    Tempo SC Ultra is a  concentrated water based liquid insecticide that will need to be mixed with water  while the Tempo Ultra WP is a wettable powder that will need to be mixed with water. Both products contain the same active ingredient and will provide similar results. Tempo WP will do a better job on porous surfaces as it will stay on the surface and be more available to insects. Tempo Sc on the other hand will dry clear and will not leave behind the powdery residue that Tempo WP can.

    07/12/2011
    Q
    Can you explain the difference in the two active ingredients or the pros/cons of both Cyper WP and Tempo Ultra WP?
    I see you often recommend Cyper WP (Cypermethrin 40.0%) for spider problems. The reviews on Tempo Ultra WP (Cyfluthrin 10%) seem to be very good regarding spider and scorpion killing power. Can you explain the difference in the two active ingredients or the pros/cons of both?
    A

    Both Tempo WP and Cyper WP contain active ingredients that are synthetic pyrethroids. Tempo WP and Cyper WP are both excellent choices for scorpion and spider control and will provide very similar results. We often recommend Cyper WP over other WP products because our customers are not only looking for a quality product but they want it at the lowest price point possible.

    Q
    Tempo 20 WP (Wettable Powder) ant spray used in kitchen. What are health risks?
    What are the health risks to young children and pregnant women?

    When Tempo WP is used as directed on the product label (all children and non applicators out of the room during the application and until it has dried) and only applied in the areas that are outlined in the product label there really are not many risks associated with using the product.

    Q
    How effective is Tempo Ultra WP on killing bedbugs?
    A

    Tempo Ultra WP will kill most bed bugs that come in contact with it. It really takes more than one product to eradicate bed bugs. Also, Tempo Ultra WP is not labeled to be used in many areas that you would need to treat for bed bugs, such as mattresses and box springs.

    Q
    Does Tempo Ultra control Springtails?
    We have a major springtail problem and nothing seems to be working. We have a monthly pest spray, but it is not working.
    A
    Tempo Ultra WP can help you control springtails but you will not get complete control until you locate the source of the springtails and correct the conditions that are allowing them to thrive. Please take a few minutes to read our article"How to Get Rid of Springtails" to learn more about springtail elimination.

  • Asked by Brad from Dallas, Tx
    10/29/2015
    Q
    Do Talstar P and Tempo WP work well as a tank mix?
    A

    There would be no valid reason for mixing Talstar P with the Tempo Ultra WP. They are both synthetic pyrethroids. It would not make either product work better or produce better results, though it could make treated areas repellent to bugs lessening the effectiveness of the treatment. You should choose one product, read the product label and follow it closely.

    Q
    Can Tempo Ultra WP be applied to the deck and brick without staining?
    I have a deck made of Trex that is a favorite hiding place for wasps and hornets.
    A

    Because Tempo Ultra WP is a wettable powder, you may notice a slight white residue left behind after it dries, especially on darker surfaces.  You may want to consider using Tempo SC Ultra instead, which is a liquid concentrate that will form a clear solution that will not leave a residue.
