How it Works
Cyfluthrin, the active ingredient in Tempo Ultra, is in the pyrethroid chemical class. Tempo Ultra contains the resolved isomer betacyfluthrin. Tempo acts as a contact insecticide affecting both the central and peripheral nervous systems of target pests with secondary activity as a stomach poison.
This outstanding control results in less chemical in the environment. Turf professionals use up to 80 percent less active ingredient with Tempo than that used with organophosphates/insecticides.
