Tempo Dust is a dust formulation used to control general household pests, ants, bed bugs, carpet beetles, clothes moths, silverfish, fire ants (including Red harvester, Pavement, and Red ants), bees, hornets, wasps, and yellow jackets. It is applied by dusting directly into cracks, crevices, voids, or nests and around the perimeter of ant mounds. Indoor application involves treating areas such as wall voids, baseboards, under furniture, and around window or door frames, while outdoor application targets mounds and insect nests.

Avoid disturbing the mound before applying. If possible, treat all colonies in the area. Distribute the product evenly over each mound and around the perimeter of the mound (about 18 inches from the outer edge); use the higher rates for larger mounds. For best results, water mounds gently after applying. High water pressure will cause the ants to move the mound. Treat new mounds as they appear. |
