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 cyfluthrin 1%, this product attacks pests' nerves through contact or ingesting, allowing for a faster kill of pests like hornets, silverfish, and more. Dust this product in labeled sites around homes and stores or directly into tight voids with its easy puffer design for long-lasting insect control.
Tempo 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 perimeter pests like ants or wasps without staining treated sites.
Tools Needed
You will need a handheld or power duster to apply Tempo Dust.
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how much Tempo Dust 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. per 1,000 sq. ft. For ant mounds, use two teaspoons of product per mound.
- Step 2: Remove the rubber top of the duster and fill it halfway with Tempo Dust. Place the rubber top back on the duster and flip it over so the bulb faces 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, ensure the applications are light and uniform. Ideally, you shouldn't see visible powder when it is 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 mound's perimeter (about 18 inches from the outer edge), using 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 for continuous pest activity every 7 to 10 days or as needed.

When to Use
Apply when pests are seen or found. This product should be applied in calm weather during outdoor applications when rain is not predicted for the next 24 hours after application.
You may also help avoid stings by treating wasp and bee nests in the evening when the insects are less active and are inside the nest.

| 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 it will not be as effective as a handheld or power duster. A duster will push the dust further into wall voids and 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. |
