Is Tempo SC Ultra Premise Spray by Bayer Safe for Pets?

Generally tolerated once the diluted residue is fully dry

Dogs clear pyrethroids like beta-cyfluthrin relatively well, and the concentrate is heavily diluted before application, which lowers the applied concentration compared to the undiluted product. The main risk remains a dog licking wet residue before it dries. Keep dogs off treated surfaces until dry.

Keep cats off until fully dry and ventilated

Beta-cyfluthrin is a Type II pyrethroid, and cats lack the efficient liver glucuronidation that lets other mammals clear these compounds. Wet residue on paws or fur is then ingested during grooming, so cats should be kept out of treated areas until surfaces are completely dry.

Remove during application and until dry

Small mammals housed near baseboards or floor level where residue settles should be moved out of the room during treatment and until the area is dry and ventilated.

Keep birds out of treated rooms; SDS notes transient hyperactivity typical of pyrethroids

Bayer's own safety data sheet notes transient hyperactivity effects typical of the pyrethroid class, and birds' respiratory systems are broadly sensitive to sprays and airborne residue. Remove birds before application and ventilate before their return.
