Tempo Ultra WP
By Rick on April 4, 2011
Verified Purchase
This is my second purchase of Tempo WP. I was paying $70.00 a month for a pesticide service to spray for bugs and I finally asked the guy; What do I get to do this myself because the stuff you buy from Lowe's or Home Depot is crap and it is not as strong as this stuff. One jar of Tempo WP has done great around one house that is 2400 sq ft and another at 2200 sq ft and inside and outside of a 2200 sq ft garage. All this I spray liberally and it has lasted me 1 year. Everything and I mean everything dies and is no match for this product. This product kills Black Widows, funnel spiders, wolf spiders, brown recluse spiders, all types of ants, centipedes, millipedes, earwigs, springtails, silverfish, just to name a few. Do not drench the area that you want to treat; just get it wet enough to where you can see a gloss from it. Do not spray around your family pets. Once this wettable powder is dry you are good to go. Once you spray thoroughly, within a day or two you are going to see so many dead bugs, you didn't know you had. I have saved sooo much money with this product and will not buy from any other site except www.domyownpestcontrol.com. They have extremely fast shipping, I live in CA and I had my product within 3 to 4 days. I highly recommend this for ALL your pesky bug needs.

Tempo Ultra WP
By Merlene on June 9, 2010
Verified Purchase
We recently purchased a house in the country and could not believe how many wasp and dirt dobbers and just bugs in general that lived in the country, so we asked a professional about what to use and he said this is the best. We have used it only 2 times to really get rid of the bugs on the patio and to keep the dirt dobbers from building their nest on the patios and this stuff is THE BEST. It really has worked and arrived in just a couple of days after ordering it, since then we have purchased other items from this same company. Wish I had found out about this place a long time ago.

This stuff works!
By David on January 14, 2011This is a follow up after the season. I used Tempo Ultra extensively in August-October. There were hordes of Stinkbugs, then piles of dead stinkbugs. This stuff works! Last year we killed between 50 and 100 stinkers each day inside the house from mid October until April. No exaggeration. This year we have found 10-15 total so far. That is a huge difference. I have recommended this product to everyone who has asked, and everyone asks…I ought to get a commission. They are an enormous problem here, affecting everyone. Anything that kills large numbers at once attracts interest. I have also passed on your website as a good source.

Well I am a first time buyer and they say Fast Shipping, they are not playing. I ordered on Friday, got it on Monday - wow talking about fast shipping. I use the Tempo Ultra WP, I follow the instructions, and I can be honest about this the roaches went crazy. This is better than any thing that you buy in Home Depot or any other store. If you are going to spend money on junk that does not work, better buy this product. Yeah, it costs more than a can of roach kill, but it works. Thanks!

Cockroach Killer
By Ray on April 10, 2013I have had an exterminator come spray my house for years now and never knew what product he used. I finally saw him making up a batch and took a look at the bottle and found it here on this website. It is a great product that knocks down bugs fast and last a couple of months. The only down fall is it does leave a white residue behind that is noticeable on dark wood floors.

Zaps Box Elder Bugs!
By Dawn on August 27, 2012This has proven to be the most effective product I've found to combat box elder bugs. I use this in conjunction with the DeltaGard G Granules. It helps to be as proactive as possible. Start using the products when you first start seeing the box elder bugs; it helps to keep them at a minimum. I usually use three heaping spoonfuls when mixing the solution. When I sprayed it on the ground where there were probably hundreds of the little bugs, it seemed to really zap them and keep any others at bay - or maybe sent them to the neighbors! The only downside is that there is a white residue when it dries. My husband has used it on the house and around the windows - makes a mess on a dark grey house. Hopefully being more proactive will make this unnecessary this fall. Time will tell.

Best Exterimnator I Am Aware Of
By Martha on August 23, 2012After a friend had given me a sample to try, the cockroach count went down considerably! I have a house kitty and cats from the neighborhood come into my yard. With Tempo Ultra WP I can spray both inside and out without harming the animals. This product is excellent.

You've saved us money
By Steve on June 8, 2012My husband and I have moved 10 times in our 40 years of marriage. Every new house had it's own variety of pests. Once the federal government cut out use of diazinon for over the counter store products we were having trouble. My daughter found your product while speaking with a fellow employee. She bought a packet and now both our homes are bug free. We use in around the exterior perimeter of all windows. We spray the ground and up 2 feet on the outside walls. We use it to spray the ground around our fruit and shade trees. It takes about three monthly treatments when we first move. The following years we only apply once or twice a year. We have eliminated lady bugs, spiders, silverfish and many others we are not familiar with. Using it on the exterior of our homes we have bug free crawl spaces, garage, basement and all interior rooms including bathrooms. Some might call us fanatics for cleanliness but your product has made our homes cozy and very livable. We could not afford the prices of professional exterminators. Thank you so much.

I asked him what he was using and he gave me about 1/2 of a container, that was a year ago and I've had the same results at my home.Tempo Ultra WP, Its great stuff and odorless! Great on cockroaches

Tempo Ultra WP Zaps Boxelder Bugs!
By Dawn on October 24, 2011
Verified Purchase
This is the best product we've found to date to help kill box elder bugs. The spray dries pretty clear (can still see it on the dark siding and some residue on the windows if you're not careful) and best of all it continues to kill the bugs for days after application. Box elder bugs (maybe other types as well) absorb the poison through their feet. It works well to spray any ground areas where they're known to infest - they love old wood, under pine trees/needles, etc. We spray in the spring and the fall.

Tempo Ultra WP
By Steve on October 20, 2011
Verified Purchase
Tempo is a safe and effective insecticide that can be used inside and out. It can be used around children and pets and is safe to use in food storage and preparation areas. The wettable powder, mixed with water, does not stain hard surfaces and does not have an odor once it dries. It is persistent so is ideal to combat ants in and around the home without smelling the place up.

April 15, 2012Amber from Rush, Ky asked:
QWhat 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.
ATempo 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.
August 13, 2009David asked:
QIs Tempo Ultra WP harmful to animals?
ATempo Ultra WP is not harmful to animals or pets as long as you follow the label instructions. You should only apply this product to appropriate areas, and of course you would not want to apply it on childrens or pets toys. You should keep pets out of the room while you are applying the product, then wait 30 minutes for it to dry. Once the product is dry, it is perfectly safe to allow pets back into the room.
June 22, 2010Ruth asked:
QCan I apply Tempo directly to garden plants where it will land on our produce?
ANo. Tempo Ultra WP is not labeled for use one edible vegetation. For areas that have edible vegetation please consider using Cyonara Lawn and Garden or Malathion 57%.
July 20, 2010Sue asked:
QDoes Tempo WP have an expiration date?
ANo, most insecticides do not have an expiration date. We recommend that the Tempo WP be used within 3 years of the date of purchase.
May 2, 2010Kenneth asked:
QHow do I mix Tempo Ultra WP correctly?
Tempo Ultra WP says to mix 3 scoops/3 gal water then says 2 scoops/ gal water which would be 6 scoops/3 gal water for a 0.025% solution . confusing table 1
ATo get a .025% solution of Tempo Ultra WP you need to mix 2 scoops of powder per gallon of water.
June 28, 2010Barb asked:
QDoes Tempo Ultra WP help control mosquitoes?
ATempo Ultra WP is labeled for mosquito control. The product label recommends spraying areas where mosquitoes may rest such as landscape plants, ground cover, beneath decks, around foundation and other areas where mosquitoes may rest.
May 16, 2011Lucy asked:
QWe have a flea infestation in our yard (2 acres). Will Tempo Ultra WP kill them?
ATempo Ultra WP is labeled for fleas and should do a great job eliminating this pest from your yard. You can find the directions for treating your yard for fleas on page 7 of the Tempo Ultra WP product label.
July 12, 2011Cody asked:
QTempo WP vs other WP for Spiders & Scorpions
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?
ABoth 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.
May 12, 2011Max asked:
QDoes 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.
ATempo 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.
