Directions For Use:

Important

Read these entire Directions for Use before using Tempo 20 WP Insecticide. DO NOT formulate this product into other end-use products.

Tempo 20 WP Insecticide will not stain or cause damage to any painted or varnished household surface, plastic, fabric or other surface where water applied alone causes no damage. If you are unsure if this product will damage a substrate, it is recommended to check for potential staining and damage by spraying a small, inconspicuous area and examining the treated area after it has dried before treating an entire area.

HOW TO APPLY:

Tempo 20 WP Insecticide may be applied using the following techniques:

● Indoor Perimeter Treatment: An indoor perimeter treatment is less than 30 cm wide along the edges of a room to baseboards, wall-floor and ceiling-wall joints, and around doorways or windows.

● Spot Treatment: Spot application is localized to a surface area not more than 0.2 m². Spots are not to be adjoining. The combined area of spots is not to exceed 10% of the total surface area of a room. Spot treatment with a low pressure coarse spray may be made ONLY to localized areas along baseboards; beneath and behind sinks, stoves, refrigerators and cabinets; around plumbing and other utility installations; around doors and windows. NOTE: CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID DEPOSITING THE PRODUCT ONTO SURFACES WHICH ARE EASILY ACCESSIBLE BY CHILDREN.

● Crack and Crevice Treatment: Crack and crevice is an application directly into narrow openings on the surface of the structure. It does not include the treatment of exposed surfaces. Narrow openings typically occur at expansion joints, utility entry points and along baseboards and mouldings.

● Void Treatment: Void application applies to inaccessible, enclosed empty spaces of a structure. For example, hollow walls and suspended ceilings.

● Indoor Broadcast Treatment (Permitted in Livestock Buildings Only): Broadcast application is to broad expanses of indoor structural surfaces.

DO NOT APPLY AS A SPACE SPRAY. A space spray is a suspension of fine droplets (0.1 to 100 micrometers) in the air within an indoor space.

DO NOT apply on the same day as other beta-cyfluthrin or cyfluthrin products.

DO NOT apply any product containing beta-cyfluthrin or cyfluthrin more than once every 10 days. Use the most restrictive retreatment interval of any product containing beta-cyfluthrin or cyfluthrin when reapplying.

Resistance Management Recommendations

For resistance management, please note that Tempo 20 WP Insecticide contains a Group 3 insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Tempo 20 WP Insecticide and other Group 3 insecticides. The resistant individuals may dominate the insect population if this group of insecticides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action but are specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.

To delay insecticide resistance:

● Where possible, rotate the use of Tempo 20 WP Insecticide or other Group 3 insecticides with different groups that control the same pests in the location.

● Use tank mixtures with insecticides from a different group that is effective on the target pest when such use is permitted.

● Insecticide use should be based on an IPM program that includes scouting, record keeping, and considers cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.

● Monitor treated pest populations for resistance development.

● Contact your local extension specialist for any additional pesticide resistance- management and/or IPM recommendations for the specific site and pest problems in your area.
