D-FENSE SC may be applied in and around residential and non-residential buildings including residential kitchens and food/feed handling establishments.
Mix D-FENSE SC with water and apply indoors as a crack and crevice, spot or general surface treatment with hand pressurized or power operated sprayers or other suitable equipment.
For residential buildings and structures - apply only as a crack and crevice or spot treatment.
Crack and Crevice: Apply D-FENSE SC spray mixture to cracks and crevices in and around baseboards, floors, walls, appliances, areas around water and sewer pipes, and other voids with a low pressure system using a pinpoint or variable pattern nozzle.
Spot Treatment: Apply D-FENSE SC as a spot treatment in and around cupboards, and between, beneath and behind equipment or appliances using a low pressure system with fan-type nozzle.
Apply D-FENSE SC as a perimeter treatment, residual spray or broadcast application to lawns, grounds and ornamental plantings.
Apply as a perimeter treatment or residual spray around residential and non-residential settings. Treatments should begin at the first sighting of pests.
Residual Spray: Apply D-FENSE SC as a coarse low-pressure spray at the rate of 0.75 to 1.5 fl.oz. to surfaces of buildings, porches, screens, window frames, eves, patios, refuse dumps, garages and lawns.
Perimeter Treatments: For best results, apply D-FENSE SC to areas where pests are seen and may find entrance. Treat a band of soil or lawn up to 6 -10 feet wide around and adjacent to buildings and treat the building foundation to a height of 2 to 3 feet. Apply as a coarse spray at the rate of 0.25 to 1.5 fl. oz. of D-FENSE SC in sufficient amount of water. (See Mixing Directions for Perimeter Application below). Use an adequate volume to thoroughly and uniformly wet the barrier area but do not allow run-off to occur.

HORRIBLE FOR COCKROACHES

I give this product a ZERO rating for cockroaches. We have applied every drop of what we bought and it seems the roaches are actually thriving on the elixor. We have found no evidence of dead roaches and in fact on several occasions, i have seen them actually drinking the liquid as it was being applied. I wouldn't waste my money on this product again.

Great Deltamethrin Product
By Ed on 06/02/2016
Working in the pest industry , CSI is a pretty well known brand. I would not consider it a generic. Maybe not a monster player like Bayer , but they have great quality products. The D Fense version works just as well as Suspend SC while saving some cash. We use it primarily primarily for outdoor tick control. Gentle on foliage as it it labled for use on ornamental plants. We treat in summer heat and never a issue on turf, trees, and plants No odor and no staining.

D-Fence once mixed and applied correctly as the label suggests, will not stain anything that water would not. We would not recommend applying across window surfaces, as applications should be just around the window frames, edges etc.
We would suggest having a wet cloth to use so that you could wipe up any overspray before its dried.
D-Fense SC Insecticide is a top choice for general pest control and is professional insecticide that is not found in local stores. It would be stronger than the consumer grade options in stores. It offers a 90 day interior crack and crevice residual and 30 day exterior residual for many common pests listed.
Both products are extremely similar in the sense that they have will have a 30 day residual outdoors & will need to be applied with an IGR for best control. However, permethrin is oil based while D-Fense SC is water based. We would also recommend looking over our mosquito guide for tips on controlling mosquitoes.

Depending on the speciifc insects you are targeting, D-Fense SC Insecticide is applied at 17.5 to 26 fl oz per acre or 26 to 39 fl oz per acre in 88 gallons of water (2 gallons of water per 1000 sq ft).
Please refer to the product label for more information.
If D-Fense SC was exposed to freezing temperatures for one night, simply bring the product back to room temperature as soon as possible, and shake the product well.
However, prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures and direct sunlight will degrade the effectivity of the active ingredient.
D-Fense SC is not considered “microencapsulated”. This concentrated suspension of pure micro crystals work to provide a lasting residual of 30-45 days outdoors and 90 days indoors. D- Fense SC is known to sit on surfaces more effectively that allow insects to pick the active ingredient as they walk across, land or contact the treated surface.
Please view the full product label for more information.
Yellow jackets are under my deck, but I can't see the nest.
D-Fense SC would only kill the yellow jackets if they land on the areas that have been treated.
I've been using Suspend SC for several years with much success. I saw the cheaper "generic" version and gave D-Fense a try. I applied in same manner/mixture as I've been applying Supsend for years. I've never seen more ants. It worked more like a fertilizer! No idea why but the price difference is not that much so I'll go back to Suspend unless you have any advice.
D-Fense SC and Suspend SC contain the exact same active ingredient. Therefore they are the same product. We suggest alternating your chemical every few years to prevent resistance buildup which could be happening in your case. The each only kill the insects that contact a treated area as well. We would recommend reviewing our ant guide here to help eliminate them more effectively.

You can use a product like D-Fense SC. It’s a synthetic pyrethroid that can be reapplied on a monthly basis. You can use it at a rate of 0.75 – 1 oz per gallon of water for mosquito control. When treating for mosquitoes, make sure to spray the underside of the leaves on ornamental shrubs and trees as these are areas they harbor in. Keep in mind that one treatment will not get rid of all the mosquitoes. For high activity, we recommend adding an insect growth regulator, like Tekko Pro IGR, to disrupt their life cycle and keep juveniles from becoming reproductive adults. This also works great on ants, fleas and a variety of other insects.
Take a moment to review our How to Treat for Mosquitoes Treatment Guide for more infromation.
D-Fense SC would be a good choice for monthly mosquito treatments to your lawn, bushes, trees, and shrubs on the property. For heavy mosquito populations, adding an Insect Growth Regulator like Tekko Pro IGR to disrupt their life cylce and keep juvenile stages of mosquitoes from becoming reproductive adults.
Repeat outdoor applications every 21 to 30 days wll be needed during high pest season. Also adding a contact syngergist insecticide like ExciteR is a great way for immediate relief of mosquitoes. ExciteR does not leave a residual and will kill mosquitoes on contact or while the applicaiton is wet. These 3 products can be tank mixed together in the same sprayer tank for an all in one application.
We recommend to refer to our Mosquito Control Guide for further tips and information.
D-Fense SC and most chemicals should be stored in a temperature stable environment between 45-75 degrees, and out of direct sunlight.
D-Fense SC is labeled for spiders so it would be effective on black/brown widows and brown recluse spiders. Please also take a look at our guides on How to Get Rid of Brown Recluse Spiders and How to Get Rid of Black Widow Spiders for some helpful info.
Could it be used in a restricted state if bought in another state? Why or why not?
D-Fense SC to New York, Alaska or Connecticut due to restrictions and regulations within those states.
D-Fense SC is applied quarterly (every 90 days) to interior cracks and crevices.
