Bayer Tempo 1% Dust For Insects (1.25 lbs)

I've been battling ground bees (yellow jackets) all summer. The nest was very aggressive and I didn't want my kiddos getting stung, so I've been mowing the lawn and getting stung. I've tried the bee killers at home depot. They killed on contact but once the stuff dried up, the bees acted like nothing ever happened and the nest continued to grow. It was just outside my back door. I have been eyeing this product and finally pulled the trigger. Armed in a bee suit (also purchased on Amazon), I went out yesterday and dusted in/around their nest. I think they tried to sting me but the suit did its job! I watched in full gear for about 10 minutes and worried bc it only seemed to be pissing them off! I went out again after about 2 hours and it was a ghost town bee hive. I went out again today and watched the hive. No activity at all. Buy this stuff. Don't waste your money on the sprays.

Worked great. We had a yellowjacket nest in a wall void, and I treated the area they were coming in and out of. Within 48 hours, we haven’t seen a single one. A great addition to the pest control arsenal.

I noticed that bees were going through a crack in the mortar between the bricks on the front of my garage. I caulked the hole and a couple hours later the bees had chewed through the caulk and were back to business as usual. I next plugged the hole with mortar, and they chewed through the mortar before it could set up. I refilled the crack with mortar and covered the area with a board to give the mortar a chance to set up which it did. To my amazement, the bees found two other areas to enter the same nest. I went to a local store and bought two cans of a leading brand of hornet/wasp/bee spray and used it to saturate the two new entrances to the nest. The spray killed the bees it touched but after an hour or, so it was if I had not sprayed at all. The bees were back like nothing happened. I was talking to my brother about this, and he recommended two products that he used so I researched them and ended up buying Tempo Powder based on the reviews which were very encouraging. I used a bulb duster to spray Tempo Powder into each of the two areas the bees were using to enter behind the brick. It was obvious that they did not like the powder, but I worried about its effectiveness because I was not seeing bees falling to the ground dead as if I was using a spray. After making sure I had thoroughly sprayed both entrances I left the area because the bee activity was increasing. I came back to the area later in the day and was happy to see no bee activity at all. I checked for activity over the next few days and found none. It’s now about a month later and still no bee activity. I am very happy with this product. For my application, it exceeded my expectations and solved the problem. I have found that the leading brand sprays will kill bees on contact, but they will not stop the activity when you cannot spray the nest itself. Tempo Powder is my go-to product now for hidden bee hives. Just thoroughly dust the entrances and let the powder work its magic. The Tempo Power seems kind of pricey, but I am glad I took a chance on it based on the reviews and can only say that after seeing how it worked for me, it was well worth the initial cost and based on the amount I used in my first application, the 1.25 pounds you get should last you a long time. When I think about the cost and amount used for one application, Tempo Power is probably just as cost effective as buying several cans of normal spray at the store.

This stuff worked great on the first application for an underground (wood chips) infestation of yellow jackets. Can't say as much for the 3 cans of foaming spray I tried from various brands. To apply, I waited until well after dusk, geared up with gloves and long thick clothes in case, and sprinkled a generous helping of this white powder into the two entrances that I had seen activity in. A few days later, no more yellow jackets

Does what it supposed to well, kills bugs quick knock down. Bottle opened in box during shipping, reason for the 4 star. When opening box was welcomed with a quick dusting of insecticide, at least the majority of the product remained in the bottle.

If you have yellow jackets, this is what you need. I had a hive behind the brick fascia of my house, I could see the crack they were flying in and out of all day long. Started with two types of can spray, one was a foaming spray. Outside of the few that seemed to drown in it...nothing. Decided I needed to get up close and really get inside the entrance. Bought a cheap ($25) bee suit from Amazon since I had to climb a ladder to reach it and figured if they swarmed me it would not be an easy retreat. Also bought some D-Fense Dust after doing some reading (instead of Delta Defense because I cheeped out). Puffed the D-Fense Dust into the hole at night when there was no activity, didnt even really need the bee suit. Next day, no difference, still swarming around the entrance. Did the D-Fense dust 2 more nights with still no results. One night I even bought a can of the foaming spray and emptied that into the crack. More research led me to Tempo. First morning after dusting the entrance there was a dramatic decrease in activity around the entrance. The next night I did the same treatment with a puffer to get the dust into the crack. Next day, nothing. Not a singe yellow jacket in the area. Save yourself time and wasted money on other products. This stuff works and it works fast. Use a mask and probably eye protection as the dust can get into the air. Definitely seems best to treat at night if you have any concerns of getting stung.

better than sprays. One blast in a nest in the ground and the bees were toast. If you have bees in your siding or around a window, you'll need an applicator. For those, it took a couple of blasts. When you use it, don't hang around. Don't do the guy thing and go back for a second blast (like a second squirt of lighter fluid on the barbecue). The bees will be mad.
