“Bayer chemists have found 30-60 percent faster knockdown with Tempo SC Ultra’s new formulation matrix,” says Michael Newhouse, General Insect Control Market Manager for Bayer. “The combination of enhanced knockdown and reliable, long-term residual control of key pests means fewer callbacks for pest management professionals, which speaks largely to the constant product innovation component of the Backed by Bayer promise.”
The precision-milled mix of Beta-crystals in Tempo SC Ultra’s new matrix is readily contacted by a range of nuisance pests, including wood-destroying insects, providing a higher mortality rate and residual control than other crystal or micro-encapsulated products. Beta-crystals are picked up and transferred through direct contact, grooming, and ingestion.
“The custom mix of Beta-crystals allows for greater coverage on both porous and non-porous surfaces. The small particles cling to cracks and crevices, where smaller pests like ants travel, while the larger particles remain on top of surfaces where large pests like spiders are most likely to come in contact with Beta-crystals,” says Newhouse.
Tempo SC Ultra provides a low dose of the active ingredient, beta-cyfluthrin, which has no odor and leaves less visible residue. Tempo SC Ultra can be used in a variety of settings, such as interior household areas, pantries, food-handling areas, and for exterior turf and ornamental applications.
With the power of a powder in a liquid formulation, Tempo SC Ultra is easier to use, less messy to handle, requires less agitation, and disperses evenly during application.
