What is the difference between Tempo and Temprid?

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

Answer:

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.
