When used in integrated bed bug elimination programs, TEMPRID:

TEMPRID SC’s efficacy is not affected by heat treatments, as its active ingredients (imidacloprid and beta-cyfluthrin) remain stable under high temperatures used in bedbug heat treatments. The TEMPRID SC label and theGeneral Pest Management: Guide for Commercial Applicators - Category 7A(Chapter 7: Bedbugs) confirm that TEMPRID can be applied before heat treatments as part of an integrated approach, as heat drives bedbugs out of hiding, increasing their contact with the pesticide. Option A (cannot be made prior to heat treatments) is incorrect, as the label allows this. Option B (efficacy affected by heat) is incorrect, as TEMPRID’s performance is not diminished by heat.
