Observe the area that has pests to determine how severe the infestation is. If there is a high infestation rate or if you see bees, wasps, yellow jackets or hornets, use a Tempo solution mixture of .05 percent. If there are only occasional insects and no flying insects are seen, use a Tempo solution mixture of .025 percent.
