Does Tempo Kill Spiders? - Kylon Powell
Ethan Hayes
Spiders are very difficult to control if they come in clusters over your house and it can be worse if spiders hide in small holes and crevices in the house. Most insecticides are not helpful in controlling these spiders which can hide in holes but tempo works very well. Tempo is a broad spectrum pest insecticide which helps to control more than 100 types of indoor and outdoor insects and spiders.

The poison will attack the central nervous system of the spiders leading to muscle spasms which paralyzes spiders and results in death.

Tempo will only work if it is ingested by spiders, it will not work on contact. The chemicals present in Tempo are highly toxic to fish. The insecticide is said to be slightly toxic to birds and algae. It is safe for household use and to use around kids and pets. Don’t use tempo on edible plants and vegetables because it contains harmful chemicals which can affect them badly.

Things that you need are a sprayer, 1 Gallon of water, and Tempo Insecticide for application.
Fill the sprayer with about half a gallon of water first and then pour 8 ml of Tempo insecticide. Now fill with another half-gallon of water. 8ml would be for small infestation and 16ml is for large infestation.
