APPLICATION FOR INDOOR PESTS

General Household Pests

Cockroaches, Crickets, Silverfish, Spiders, and others

Use a coarse, low-pressure spray.

Treat entry points such as around water pipes, doors, windows, and eaves. Treat areas where pests normally feed or hide such as baseboards, corners, around water pipes, under refrigerators, cabinets, sinks, and stoves, being sure to spray cracks & crevices. Spot treat floor or rugs beneath furniture, in closets, and storage areas, but do not apply to entire floor area.

Do not use as a "space spray".

IGR Note: This product can be tank mixed with an insect growth regulator (IGR) for extended cockroach control. ANTS

Apply to ant trails on walls, tile, baseboards, around pipes, under cabinets, and other places where ants are active.

Treat entry points such as windows and doors and the outdoor perimeter.

For best results, treat nests when possible.

Pantry and Stored Product Pests

For best results, clean area before treating. Remove and destroy infested food. Discard food accidentally contaminated with spray.

For cupboards, shelving, or food storage areas: Remove utensils, exposed food, shelf paper, and other items before spraying. When dried, cover shelves with clean paper before replacing items.

Pests In Livestock Housing Structures (including poultry houses & pet kennels)

Apply as a general surface and/or a crack and crevice spray.

For best results, clean facilities before applying and treat outdoor perimeter areas.

Do not apply indoors where animals other than cattle or horses are present.

Do not apply to animal feedstuffs or watering equipment.

Flying Insects

Apply to surfaces where pests collect or rest.

Outdoor/Perimeter Pests

Ants, Bees, Boxelder bugs, Carpenter ants, Centipedes, Cockroaches, Cluster fly, Crickets, Elm leaf beetle, Fire ants, Firebrats, Fleas, Flies, Gnats, Ground beetles, Hornets, Midges, Millipedes, Moths, Pillbugs, Scorpions, Silverfish, Sowbugs, Spiders, Ticks, Wasps, Yellow jackets

Where To Apply

Apply where pests have been seen or found, or can find shelter.

Apply to buildings, porches, patios, garages, fences and other areas where pests are found.

To prevent infestation, treat the building foundation, walls, and around doors, windows, and soffits where pests are active or may enter or hide; also treat the soil, turf, or other substrates adjacent to buildings

Use Rate

10 to 20 g (2 to 4 scoops) / 1000 sq ft See Table 1 for mixing directions.

For fire ants and flying pests 0.05%-10 g (2 scoops)/gal water 0.1%-20 g (4 scoops)/gal water

Always use the high rate for fire ants, bees, wasps, yellow jackets and hornets.

Use high rate for severe infestations, faster knock down, and longer residual.

How To Apply (Also see Applications for Outdoor/Perimeter Pests)

Perimeter Treatment: To help prevent infestation of structures, treat area adjacent buildings in a band up to 10 feet wide. Also treat the building foundation to a height of 2 to 3 feet in areas where pests are active or can find entrance.

Apply just enough dilution to adequately cover the area without excessive dripping or runoff. Volume can vary depending on the surface type treated. For example, mulch requires more spray than bare soil. If mulch is heavy, rake it back to expose soil before treating.

Avoid contact with treated surfaces until dry.

When To Apply

When pests are seen or found

Re-apply every 7 to 10-days if needed.

Mixing Information

Add product when filling spray tank with water; shake or agitate mixture.

Formula For Determining The Percent Concentration In The Finished Spray

(Scoops of TEMPO 20 WP) ÷ (Gallons of finished spray) x 37.85 = Percent Concentration

Application For Outdoor/Perimeter Pests

Ants: Locate and treat ant nests, if possible. Follow trails of foraging workers, check under objects near the structure, and inspect other likely nest sites. If ants are nesting in the soil, thoroughly drench or inject the nest and surrounding soil. Treat ant trails around windows and doors, along sidewalks, or other areas where seen. Apply a perimeter treatment as described above.

Bees, Wasps, Yellow Jackets, Hornets: Use Rate: 0.1% concentration. Make pin stream applications directly to the nests. To help avoid stings treat nests in the evening when the insects are inside the nest. For best results, check nests within one or two days to ensure complete kill. Remove and destroy treated nests to prevent emergence of newly hatched insects, secondary pest problems, and possible staining from honey. If removal is not possible, retreat nests if necessary.

Boxelder Bugs: Apply directly to boxelder bugs that have congregated around doors and windows and similar areas where they may enter structures. Apply perimeter treatment as described above. For best results, treat infested trees early in the season. Tree spraying may require ornamental license-check with your local regulator.

Centipedes, Millipedes, Pillbugs, Sowbugs: Apply perimeter treatment to reduce the number of insects from entering the structure. Thoroughly treat mulched areas. Reduce moisture areas from around the structure.

Fire Ants: Use Rate: 0.1% concentration Thoroughly drench or inject the entire mound. When using injection treatment, you must treat the bottom of the mound. Apply dilution using a downward and upward motion of the injector tool. For complete distribution, inject in several points throughout the mound. Treat new mounds as they appear. Do not use in pastures or areas of food crop production.

Fleas & Ticks: Make a perimeter treatment, concentrating on areas where pets rest or run. For ticks, treat likely harborage areas like along paths, tall grass and other vegetation. For best results, treat the entire area where ticks could be present. Begin treating in the spring. Ticks may be re-introduced from surrounding areas by host animals. Continue treating until frost to control both larvae and adult ticks.

Flies: Use Rate: 0.05% to 0.1% Apply low-volume mist or spray to outside surfaces of buildings, porches, patios, garages, fences, and other areas where flies rest.

CLUSTER FLY: Treat in late summer or fall, just before flies begin looking for winter shelter. Spray siding, eaves, around windows and doors, window screens, and attics. To help reduce infestations, treat cracks and crevices, attics and other indoor winter hiding places. Note: Cluster flies may appear during winter warm spells, while snow is still on the ground.

Mosquitoes: Spray around landscape plants, turf and ground cover, under decks, around building foundations and other places where mosquitoes may rest.

Scorpions: Treat around piles of firewood and other areas where scorpions may hide. When possible, remove piles of materials that can harbor the pests. Apply a perimeter treatment.
