Tempo SC Ultra Review
Are you looking for a very powerful yet non-toxic insecticide that can kill many different insects? You should consider this Tempo insecticide. It can kill everything from outdoor pests, like mosquitoes, to indoor ones, like bedbugs and roaches.
The main thing that makes this insecticide effective is its active ingredient. It contains 11.8% beta-cyfluthrin, which is a parathyroid insecticide. This means that it’s made from organic compounds and is also one of the most wildly used household insecticides.
This active ingredient is mostly non-toxic to humans and pets. But it might cause allergic reactions or health problems in large doses or if it comes in contact with your mouth, eyes, or any open wounds.
Remember that this insecticide is extremely toxic to aquatic lifeforms. So, make sure that you use the Tempo SC Ultra insecticide cautiously, keeping it away from surface water and groundwater. Either remove any aquatic inverters from the premises or tightly cover all bodies of water before spraying to prevent it from coming in contact with water.
This Tempo pesticide can kill more than 100 different insects, pests, and bugs in a variety of settings. It will successfully kill termites in your walls, mosquitoes in your backyard, fruit flies in your pantry, and bed bugs in your bed.

How to Use Tempo SC Ultra
Using this insecticide with a hand sprayer is best. This allows you to apply the optimal amount of insecticide in the shortest amount of time.
Since this is a water-based suspension concentrate (SC), rather than a ready-to-use solution, you need to dilute it with water before use. For general outdoor use (and mosquitoes), use 0.27–0.54 oz. (8–16 ml) of solution per gallon (3.7 L) of water. This will create enough solution to treat around 1000 sq ft. (92.9 sq m) with this insecticide.
If you have a severe infestation, add more insecticide to make the solution stronger. You can also use a cold fogger with this solution if the fogger is suitable for water-based insecticides. Just make sure that the sprayer you use has a lower pressure spray option to distribute the solution properly.
You should shake Tempo SC Ultra insecticide before use and apply it as needed, but no more than once every 7 to 10 days.
Don’t apply this product when it’s raining or just after the rain, as that can cause run-offs that can result in water contamination.
If applying it on turf, then don’t do this more than six times per year as it could seriously damage your turf.
During treatment, make sure to use protective clothing, safety glasses, and even a respirator if possible. This will keep the Tempo insecticide solution from being absorbed through your skin, inhaled, or swallowed.
After you’ve finished, store the insecticide in a cool, dry place. It’s best to store it out of the way so that it can’t contaminate other products or be accidentally spilled. Don’t store it in extreme cold or heat as that will damage the insecticide, making it inefficient.
Summary
Tempo SC Ultra insecticide is the perfect product to help you rid of more than 100 different insect species. From mosquitoes to bed bugs to ants, this insecticide concentrate will be powerful enough to kill any insect on contact and keep them away from the sprayed area for a while. T
he insecticide uses an active ingredient that’s non-toxic to humans and pets but will get rid of any insects in a matter of seconds. So, if you need a good insecticide for indoor or outdoor use, pick up a bottle of this Tempo SC Ultra.

We have an apricot tree by the tree we sprayed for bag worms and some of the spray drifted onto them, how long should I wait to pick apricots.
Insectcop
The label states not to apply it on any food crop, so I probably wouldn’t suggest eating them at all.

Is Tempo harmful to butterflies if used in the vicinity of, but not directly in, a butterly garden?
InsectCop
The label doesn’t mention butterflies, so I’d rather not comment on it. However, you can try contacting the company, they should be able to give you a trustworthy answer.

I mixed it with vinegar
As directed to kill bed bugs
It is not working
I also mixed it stronger
Still we are seeing live bed bugs
After the 3ed spraying
At first just mixed with water
Did not work at all
I feel im going to kill my family
How can I get it out of my house
It’s everywhere now
And I still have live bed bugs
InsectCop
If you followed the directions when diluting with water, I’m not sure why it didn’t work for you. Are you sure you followed the label properly? If you did everything correctly, yet the product was still no help, you should try reading our article about getting rid of bed bugs with plenty of tips. Good luck!

How long does it take for it to kill ants? Sprayed inside and side, but still seeing some ants in the home.
InsectCop
The product is a contact-killer. It shouldn’t take long, however, you have to make sure to be treating all the proper spots to make sure the ants will come in contact with it. Keep in mind it’s always best to treat the nests, if possible.
sereena

The area shouldn’t be re-entered until the treatment has dried.
