What is tempo?

It’s a concentrated insecticide that can be used indoors or out. It states to be safe with children and pets after an hour of drying time. I know birds are more sensitive, so we have to be careful, but the fire ants are a guaranteed death sentence so it’s worth the small risk that comes with chemicals. Used properly, it should be fine.

I looked it up.

I've not heard of that brand name before. I noticed a trail of ants yesterday. They need to die...today. I'm actually fixing to head out now to go find something to kill them with.

O boy.
Hopefully the power comes back on soon.
I wouldn't worry yet.
Momma's usually get off their nest daily so a cool down isn't too bad in my eyes.
