Description
Bayer Tempo SC Ultra is a liquid insecticide that leaves no visible residue and has a long residual effect. It uses cyfluthrin to quickly knock down pests and keep them at bay for weeks. Since it is a suspension concentrate formulation , it dissolves easily in water, sprays evenly, and requires minimal tank agitation.
Active Ingredient and Formulation
Here is what makes Tempo SC Ultra work so well.
- Cyfluthrin (11.8%): This synthetic pyrethroid rapidly paralyzes and kills insects.
- Suspension Concentrate: Tiny particles of the ingredient are suspended in water together, generating a homogenous liquid that performs like a powder but is free of dust.
Packaging and Sizes
TempoSC Ultra is available in a 32 fl oz and a 900ml bottle option.
- 240 mL Bottle: For small jobs or crack‑and‑crevice application.
- 900 mL Bottle: This bottle is ideal for larger properties or frequent applications. Both bottles feature an easy tip‑and‑pour design so professionals can measure without spills.
Applications and Use Cases
TempoSC Ultra is not labeled for use on plants. Below are its main uses:
- Indoor Treatments: Great for use in homes, schools, restaurants, hotels, and hospitals. Common areas are baseboards, wall voids, cracks & crevices, storage locations, and garbage rooms.
- Outdoor and Perimeter Control: It is registered for use in outdoor areas and on the perimeters of structures. It also treats turf and landscape beds at higher rates.
