Review: Effective with aggressive ground bees - 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 desertcart), 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.
Review: Highly Effective Against Hidden Yellowjacket Nests - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the shelf life of the dust?**
A: According to one pest management company “ Tempo Dust should be used within 3 years of the date of purchase if stored out of extreme temperatures. Answer last updated on: 07/12/2011”

**Q: Can this be mixed with water and used as a spray? And if so, at what ratio of water to dust?**
A: Tempo is used as a dust which is spread with an applicator that looks like the old timey float ball in a toilet.  It is available from the distributor and is very effective at efficiently placing and spreading the insecticide.  It is not to be mixed with water but spread with an applicator.

**Q: What is the difference between delta dust and tempo dust?**
A: Not sure of the difference,  but I can tell you the Tempo dust worked on a bees nest under my siding was very and quickly effective.

**Q: Este producto mata las cucaracha y chiripas ?**
A: Si las elimina es muy bueno yo lo usé en la cocina y el baño

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Effective Against Hidden Yellowjacket Nests

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tempo 1% Dust Very Effective in my application.
*by D***5 on September 27, 2023*

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.
