Tempo 1% Dust Insecticide, manufactured by Bayer, is a ready to use insecticide dust that provides immediate pest control against stinging and flying insects with little application effort.
Formulated with the active ingredient cyfluthrin 1%, which attacks the pests nerves either through contact or ingesting allowing for a faster kill of pests like hornets, silverfish, and more. Simply dust this product in labeled sites such as around homes and stores or directly into tight voids with its easy puffer design for long-lasting insect control.
Tempo 1% Dust Insecticide has excellent penetration into hard-to-reach indoor and outdoor surfaces ensuring equal coverage at minimum application rates. This all around dust insecticide provides a 10 day residual effect against a variety of perimeter pests like ants or wasps without staining treated sites.
Tools Needed
To apply Tempo 1% Dust Inseciticide, you will need a handheld duster or power duster.
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how much Tempo 1% Dust Inseciticide to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, measure the length and width of the treatment area in feet then multiply them together (length X width = square footage). Apply 0.5 to 1 lb. of Tempo 1% Dust Insecticide per 1,000 sq. ft. For ant mounds, use 2 teaspoons of product per mound.
- Step 2: Remove the rubber top of the duster and then fill the duster half-way with Tempo 1% Dust Insecticide and place the rubber top back on the duster and flip it over so that the bulb is facing down and the straw is above it.
- Step 3: Remove the tip of the straw and gently squeeze the bulb of the duster. When applying Tempo 1% Dust Insecticide make sure the applications are light and uniform. Ideally you shouldn't see visible powder where applied. Apply dust in cracks and crevices, wall voids, and around plumbing. For ant mound applications, 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.
- Step 4: Reapply Tempo 1% Dust Insecticide every 7 to 10 days as needed for continuous pest activity.

Tempo 1% Dust Insecticide can be used indoors and outdoors of animal quarters and kennels, apartment buildings, bakeries, bottling facilities, breweries, cafeterias, candy plants, cereal processing and manufacturing plants, correctional facilities, dairies and dairy product processing plants, day care centers, food plants, grain mills, granaries, greenhouses (structures only), grocery stores and supermarkets, hospitals (see restrictions), hotels and motels, houses, industrial buildings and installations, kitchens, laboratories, livestock housing structures, manufacturing establishments, mausoleums, pet kennels, meat and produce canneries, mobile homes and recreational vehicles, nursing homes (see restrictions), pickle factories, restaurants, schools (see restrictions), spice plants, stores and institutions, theaters, utility vaults and conduits, warehouses, wineries and similar structures, zoos, transportation vessels such as aircraft (see restrictions), buses, trucks, trailers, rail cares, and marine vessels.

| Keith's Pro Tips | "Most insecticide dusts come with an applicator tip on the top of the bottle. This can be used to make some applications, but will not be as effective as using a handheld or power duster. Using a duster will push the dust further into wall voids and in areas where wood boring insects hide. " |
| Product Drawbacks | Tempo 1% Dust Insecticide is not effective against flies or mosquitoes, because the most likely will not come in contact with dusted areas. For these insects, we suggest using an insecticide spray that provides a residual effect, such as Flex 10-10. |

They are gone!
Worked very effectively on the ground wasps when three different standard products did not. Gloves and a mask a good idea when using.

Product worked
I used Tempo Dust to eliminate a yellow jacket issue coming from a inaccessible nest behind the siding on the exterior of my home. After about 3 days all yellow jacket activity, which was significant at their entrance/exit location ceased.

Tempo Dust Works well on in wall wasps
I have a bar and a hay bar, the wasps love to take up residence in side the walls where the spray insecticides cant get to.
Purchased the squeeze duster to apply it ( it disperses the poison better and you use less of the dust more effectively with separately sold applicator.)
PROS: I apply the dust to the cracks and crevasses where I see the wasps entering and leaving the walls of the barn. The wasps get the dust on themselves and carry it to the nest poisoning their home and their offspring. YAY! The nest is no more after about 24-48 hours
It must seem innocuous to them because even when I have puffed dust directly on an active nest they don't really seem to notice. So unlike the sprays I haven't had an issue with them getting mad and coming after me, but for safety sake I cover up and spray after dusk.
CONS: The poison doesn't have a very far reach, so getting the wasps in rafters and high eaves is difficult to impossible. But this is what the spray is good for. Also I have to be very careful in the hay barn not to allow any of the dust to fall in the hay as is doesn't evaporate and dissipate like many of the sprays. I don't want to make may animals sick.
Seriously, if you have nests that are inside walls, ceilings or roofs, and are able to get to the location that they are entering this product works awesome!!!

It defiantly works on red wasp. We used it around outside of house where wasp would gather and then go under vinyl siding to their nest. We applied it with puffer duster and within hr wasp wouldn't go to the area.

Q:Does it kills bees , wasps?9/29/19A:Yes it kills both. I had a major nest under the siding and used this with the duster device and it wiped out the colony in 2 days. This isn't to kill a random wasp or even the little nests you find on porch railings... use the $3 spray can for that. This is to kill nests underground, behind siding, etc where you can't necessarily see it. Just puff the dust in and bees/wasps/any bug will suffocate eventually. Within a day you will see dead bugs near any opening. This is professional grade stuff, so wear gloves/goggles/mask. At this size, it will last the average homeowner's life. If you can buy this brand in a smaller container, get that instead. Or pass this around to friends/family because it will last years and years.
