Temprid SC Insecticide

Temprid SC (suspension concentrate) insecticide offers a unique dual mode of action by combining two powerful and effective residual insecticides: beta-cyfluthrin and imidacloprid. The result is Temprid, which provides quick knockdown and long residual control of more than 50 pests, including ants, spiders, cockroaches and other key perimeter pests. The dual action works extremely well on pests like ants, making it one of the best ant control products on the market. While Temprid SC is labeled for indoor and outdoor use, we recommend spraying outside and around the foundation of the home -- spray about 3 ft. up the side of the house, and about 3-5 ft. out from the structure from the base of the foundation (spraying directly on the ground) -- this will give you a powerful contiguous barrier against pests.

Temprid SC is manufactured by Bayer. 

 
Product Features:

• Delivers unsurpassed ant control, and also eliminates aphids, scale and mealy bugs.
• Can be applied indoors and outdoors (please refer to label for special precautions regarding indoor use).
• Can be applied outdoors as a perimeter spray 3 ft. up and 10 ft out from the structure.
• Labeled to control some perimeter pests that other products dont.
• Controls pests fast.
• Combines fast-acting beta-cyfluthrin with the systemic residual control of Imidacloprid to provide premium performance.

    Temprid is the ONLY choice for Bed Bugs
  By Rick on August 9, 2011

  I used Suspend for Weeks on my bed bug problem. It helped and killed some but wasn't really doing the job I needed. I tested the suspend directly on some of my bugs and realized it was very slow to act or even if directly prayed still did not work at all. After consulting with the Bayer Rep I bought the Temprid and all I can say was WOW this stuff killed the bedbugs residually and immediately Overnight it was like my problem was gone and I still find one or two dead under the bed every few days as they try to make their way out for a meal. I think they are all gone now and all I can say is Temprid all the way.

    Bed Bug Nightmare
  By Deneene on June 14, 2011

  I had bed bugs in my home that were resistant to the Suspend SC product. I did some research and found the Temprid SC is the product to use for resistant bed bugs. I used this product along with the Gentrol and Diatomaceous earth dust and it worked great. I have not seen anymore bugs. I am a very pleased and happy customer!!!

    This products sucks on roaches
  By Rey on April 17, 2010

  Treated various homes for German roaches.  Followed up a week later and the roaches were walking over it like nothing was there. Also please note this product is not tank mixable with other products so you would have to use a new or chemically neutralized tank for it to be effective. Also it is not labeled for use with insect growth regulators.  Also tested product on variety of ants, it is effective against household ants.  I would still go with Termidor outside once you find the trail and Phantom on the inside.  Especially for roaches, Phantom is your best option.  Also phantom can be mixed with insect growth regulators, which will maximize effectiveness.

    Temprid Insecticide Control
  By Gregory on June 4, 2009

  We have been using Temprid SC for one month now, and have not had any call-backs with the technicians who are using it. I am truly amazed, since we use it on Odorous House Ants which are extremely difficult.

    Murders Bed Bugs
  By Christie on April 24, 2012

  Bottom Line - FAST SHIPPING and PRODUCT WORKS We had an infestation in one bedroom and a few in the bedroom next to it. My wife was devastated and took the whole episode pretty hard. We had taken my son to the doctor three times for a "rash" and was told it was eczema. She had to tell people at church and friends to make sure they had not spread to friends. My office at work shut down my office for two days to exterminate after I told them about it. I had to take about a week off to get all this done. This is the steps we took to get rid of the bugs. 1.Threw out the mattress, box spring and headboard/foot board in the most infested room (sons). 2.took all clothing out of the infected rooms and washed in the hottest water out water heater could produce. 3. Sprayed a gallon of sterifab between the two rooms on everything. Walls, carpet, cracks, furniture....everything. 4. Put 3 pounds of FOOD GRADE Diatomaceous earth powder on the carpet throughout the house. We left this down for 3 days because we had to wait for the carpet cleaners to have an opening. I found a live bug on a mattress and put it on the dusted carpet and it was dead in an hour. I can't say it wasn't some other step that helped to kill it but it was cheap and animal friendly and I had the time. BTW I got it from a local pet store for 15.00. I also took off outlet covers and dusted in there. I feel like this helped keep them from spreading from the most infested rooms because the rooms were not really livable for a few days and I didn't want the bugs to spread seeking out a meal. I'm just an armchair exterminator so who knows...but it did make us feel better even if it was a bit messy. I did find it dried out your skin and airway but is pet safe. 5. We had all the carpet steam cleaned and the mattress in the lesser infected room. 6.Ordered temprid from here and had it sent two day air. At this point we had moved back into the lesser infected room and had an air mattress in the most infected room. I slept in the most infected room and my wife and son slept in the lesser. I didn't seem to have any bites but my wife and son did have a few. 7. My order arrived on time with easy tracking and the instructions were easy to follow. I mixed up the insecticide per the instructions and sprayed down the two rooms including the remaining box spring, mattress sides and bottom, carpet that wasn't in constant contact with people, and all cracks. We moved back to our normal sleeping arrangement. Mom and dad in lesser and son on air mat in the more infected room. Wife had a few bites, son had none and I found one large bug on me when I woke up in the night. We would search our bed every morning and found a couple dead bugs in the metal frame railing. After the first week of temprid my wife still had a couple bites but no one else. I reapplied temprid as before after 7 days. During the second week we found maybe two dead bugs on the mattress/frame but no bites. I reapplied temprid one more time after 7 days. WE purchased a new mattress/box spring for my sons room and encased it with covers....just in case. After four weeks no bites and no dead bugs found thanks to hard work, Temprid, and DoMyOwnPestControl.com Bottom Line - FAST SHIPPING and PRODUCT WORKS

  To be honest I think we got rid of the buggers b-4 buying this, used it 3 times in 3 wks to be sure but had not seen any bugs for over 2 wks b-4 using. Told the lady had not seen any and wnt'd something that would kill eggs in case any remained, got sold this as the ultimate solution w/o realizing it is a contact only product. Do your own research and don't let them upsell you!

  I needed a product that professionals use because I work in an environment with bed bug issues and I take brought the bugs home with me. I work in a homeless shelter and we have bed bug issues.

    Major Fleas
  By Roger on October 23, 2012

  I Recently bought a house. While shampoing the carpets my son came up to me asking what are all these bugs on his pants. FLEAS!!! So we went straight out and bought Enforcer brand flea foggers enough for a bottle for every room. Two days later they seemed un phased. I picked up a bottle of 10% permethrin at the local barn store, mixed with water per directions. Sprayed inside and outside the whole house. Week later still everywhere, so we bought some hot shot flea fogger. This seemed promising due to the next day seemed much better. Few days later the infestation was still going strong they were just as bad on the wood floors as they were in the carpets. Lucky we have a month until we need to be moved in. So we did the lamp above soapy water dishes to find out what we were dealing with. We had 4 soapy water filled fisbys under a night light. 4 days in a row we had at least 300 fleas in each one. So during this whole time we had a system of loading stuff, furniture etc, into the garage, and vaccuming every floor every day. We put down 6 pounds of D earth let sit for 48 hours, what a mess cleaning that all up and destroyed our vaccum. Still fleas everywhere, we even tried the whole heat the house at 90 deg for a few days two weeks into the problem, well that seemed to stem a major hatching cause they were everywhere!!! I was at wits end and felt a desperate sunk feeling every time I had to go to the house to drop off stuff we have packed, not knowing what we would walk into. Finally I was talking to a co worker that said he had a bad bed bug problem and he used Temprid SC and worked well. He let me borrow the bottle, which had the domyownpestcontrol lable on it. I used it at the highest recommended mixture. Sprayed the whole house even the basement, garage. First day after treatment about 60 fleas in each frisby, second day 20 fleas, 3rd around 12, 4th day 2!!! So far the soapy water lamp trick, and Temprid SC is the only thing that has knocked em down. I plan to do another treatment 7 days after the 1st just to make sure I got them all. I was getting really worried I would be living out of a camper in the driveway until I got the house under control. But it looks like we will move in on time.

    Great product!!!!
  By Andrew on September 11, 2012

  We had a bed bug infestation that was very unpleasant we had a professional come out and he did the three treatments and they were still coming out of nowhere my wife was getting bit on and off and then my daughter also I never was bit by anything so I did a lot of research and found that this was one of the best products to use. So I ordered it and sprayed the house myself with the maximum to spray and did that for about three treatments before I decided to put up a review needless to say the bugs are gone and have not seen them yet and I plan on continuing to spray about every month just to make sure they are gone. Great product recommend to anyone who has a bed bug infestation.

    Amazing Product!
  By Paul on August 8, 2012

  I have tried for literally years to eradicate a bed bug problem in my home. I have used a variety of products but none of them have worked completely, except this one. It is odorless, does not stain, and is safe for use on furniture and mattresses. I treated the baseboards, carpets, and furniture in my entire home every 7 days for three weeks. By the end of the third week, the bed bugs are completely gone!! I have also used it to get rid of mosquitoes in my backyard. This is the best bed bug product on the market! It is safe and works great.

    bedbugs
  By Jim on June 17, 2012

  Suspend SC didn't do squat nor did pyrethrin based dusts. The bedbugs got worse. Bought Temprid and Alpine dust and using them in combination clobbered the bugs within 7 days. I never got to the use of Phantom as Temprid knocked them out cold. We haven't had a problem ever since I used them. I intend to use Phantom and also have Propoxur as back ups but don't think I'll need them. The Nuvan strips are helpful too. We placed all the electronics in plastic bags-tied them tight with strips in them.

July 22, 2010 Tom asked:

QIs Temprid SC a repellent or non-repellent like Phantom and Termidor SC?

ATemprid SC has beta-cyfluthrin in it which is not a non-repellent product.  It is a repellent insecticide.  However, repellent these days does not mean the insect can sense that it is there and avoids the area.  The insect actually walks over the barrier and gets the insecticide on its tiny microscopic hairs on its body and eventually dies.

September 24, 2010 Gerard asked:

QHow many gallons of spray will a 400 ML bottle of Temprid SC make?

ATemprid SC can be mixed at a lower concentration of 8 ml per gallon of water and a higher concentration of 16 ml per gallon of water.  There is a total of 400 ml in a bottle. So at a lower concentration of 8 ml per gallon of water, Temprid SC will make 50 gallons of finished solution.  If you mixed all gallons at the higher concentration of 16 ml per gallon of water, you would get 25 gallons of finished solution.

QIs Temprid SC labeled for bedbugs?

AYes, Temprid SC is labeled for Bed Bug control.  Please see the supplemental label link under the product picture on the Temprid SC page on our website for more information. Temprid SC can be applied to the tufts, folds and seams of mattresses, boxsprings and upholstered furniture.  It can also be applied as a crack and crevice treatment to all baseboards, moldings, beneath floor coverings and carpets, closets, shelves, curtains, furniture and picture frames that may provide harborage areas for bed bugs.

June 25, 2011 Marie asked:

QI read that Temprid SC can make 50 gallons. Is there a smaller bottle available?
50 gallons is an awful lot for people who are just treating their own home. This is probably why Temprid costs so much more than other insecticides. Do the makers of Temprid plan to market a smaller amount, or make an aerosol that would be useful to people who would never use up what is in the bottle they currently sell?

AUnfortunately, there is only one size of Temprid SC and that is the 400 ml bottle.  Remember that we only sell professional products and they are produced and intended to be used by professionals.  For a professional that may treat 10 homes in one day, this bottle does not last very long.  You can mix 8 ml per gallon of water or 16 ml per gallon of water for most insect problems.  If you use it at the 16 ml per gallon of water rate, which many professional do, the bottle will only make 25 gallons of solution.  The product has a shelf life of at least 5 years as long as you keep the lid on and keep it out of direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

April 2, 2013 Tara from Chicago Il asked:

QWhich sprayer do you recommend purchasing to apply Temprid SC with?

AJust about any 1 gallon pump sprayer will do. We prefer the Chapin  Premier 1 Gallon Pump Sprayer 21210XP because of the brass construction in the shutoff valve, wand and nozzle. Makes for great applications. All of the parts are replaceable when they wear out and when cared for properly will last for many years.

January 19, 2013 Rita from Indianapolis In. asked:

QI have rental property empty with bed bugs, can i steam clean the carpets or what do i need to do?

ASince bedbugs can live in wall voids, behind baseboards and in other hidden areas you will have to do more than steam the carpets, though steaming the carpets can help. We recommend using a hand duster to apply dust insecticide such as Cimexa dust to the wall voids and power outlets. We also recommend using a spray in the cracks and crevices around the baseboards and other areas such as Temprid SC to eliminate hidden bedbugs as they emerge from hiding. Because no one is living there the bedbugs can be dormant which could prolong control efforts.

QI have mixed Temprid with a gallon of water and still have some left over...how long can it be stored?
How long can I store my Temprid and water mixture? I have mixed 8mm into a gallon of water and didn't use all of it and was wondering if I can store it for a week or a month like this?

AYou should not store diluted Temprid (or most other diluted insecticides for that matter) for more than 24 hours because the acids in the water will start to degrade the product making it ineffective. Leftover dilution can be disposed of by pouring it out right up against the  foundation of your structure outside.

QMy temprid has a darker type solution on top like it had seperated. Is my temprid still some good?
I only had it for a couple of months and did not even use it yet.

AAbsolutely.  Temprid and most all concentrates that we sell have a 3 to 5 year shelf life.  Many concentrates contain different active ingredients, some heavier than others which is why they can separate if left on a shelf for a few months.  It is no problem though.  Just shake the bottle for about 10 to 15 seconds and the solution will reset and look normal.

June 26, 2012 Phyllis from High Point, N.c. asked:

QHow effective is Temprid SC on fleas if the whole yard is sprayed?

ATemprid SC would be effective for outdoor flea treatments when used as directed on the product label. For fleas, concentrate treatments in areas where pets or animals are known to rest, as these areas are larval breeding hot spots. Treat the entire area where these pests could be present. Since fleas eggs and larva are protected from insecticides you will need to reapply Temprid SC every 14 days until the flea cycle has been broken. Fleas and ticks may be reintroduced from surrounding areas by host animals.

QTEMPRID SC MATA LOS HUEVOS DE LAS CHINCHES "BED BUGS" SI NO QUE PRODUCTO PARA MESCLAR LO HACE? GRACIAS

ATemprid SC no está etiquetado para matar los huevos de las chinches de cama. Los únicos productos que están etiquetados para matar los huevos de las chinches son Bedlam aerosol y Sterifab, ninguno de los dos pueden ser mezclado directamente con Temprid. Pero ambos Sterifab y Bedlam se pueden usar junto con Temprid para poder controlar las chinches. Debe tener en cuenta que incluso los productos que pueden matar a los huevos no matan a los huevos 100% del tiempo y hay necesidad de repetir los tratamientos cada 7-10 días. Depende de la intensidad de la infestación de chinches.
