    Q
    Is the Suspend Polyzone safe to use around my home? And can I use it to kill various other household bugs?
    I am looking for a safe, strong pest control that will last for weeks. I am targeting ants, spiders, roaches, bed bugs, beetles and other various bugs/insects.
    A

    Yes The Suspend Polyzone is safe once it dries and can be used indoors as well as outdoors. Suspend Polyzone has been tested and will last for 90 days indoors and outdoors. Suspend Polyzone has a unique poly coating over the particles of the product which protects it from weathering and makes the residual last longer. Suspend Polyzone was also designed to stay up on the surface of even very porous areas such as concrete or wood which makes the product more available to insects. We suggest you look at our Roach Control, and Bed Bug guides to treat for roaches and bed bugs.

    Q
    If I treat a cement patio with Suspend Polyzone and the sprinkler hits the treated area
    If I treat a cement patio with Suspend Polyzone and the sprinkler hits the treated area a couple days later, would it be safe for my dog to lick the standing water?
    A

    Suspend Polyzone once dry, will not reconstitute and as long as the product was applied according to the product label there should be no issues. The bigger issue with the sprinkler hitting the treated area is that it could wash the product away sooner than if it stayed dry so it would be best to have the sprinkler set to not spray the patio if possible.

    Q
    What can I use to get rid of spiders, ants and water bugs inside or outside of the home?
    A

    Suspend Polyzone is a great product that can be used indoors and outdoors around the perimeter of your home for insect control. It features an additional polymer in it that protects the active ingredient from weather, irrigation and mechanical abrasion.This controlled release formulation, which resists erosion, ensures your treatment will continue to control targeted pests for up to 90 days outdoors. It also stays right where you put it, so if you want to increase the effectiveness of your treatments, put the science of Suspend Polyzone to work for you. The mixing rate is 0.25-1.5 fl oz per gallon of water. This can be re-applied every 30 days but will last for up to 90 days.

    Q
    Which is better, Temprid FX or Suspend Polyzone?
    I like the longer residual time for a general insecticide. Is this an immediate knockdown?
    A

    Both are great products, but Suspend Polyzone will give you a longer lasting residual than Temprid FX. The molecular design of the capsule that protects the active ingredient last longer and stays on top of the surface better with Suspend Polyzone.  Neither product will kill on contact.

  • Asked by John from Mt. Juliet, Tn

    Q
    Will Suspend Polyzone kill fleas in the house?
    Since it has such a residual, will it kill the eggs & larvae? We have hardwood and tile only and live in the country. One inside cat, one outside cat and dog. I've tried back drops, collars, flea pills on them and it works for a bit. I've sprayed outside with Demon and Tempo. Used granular also and I can't get rid of these dang things. I saw some reviews on the Suspend Polyzone and I'm at my wits end.
    A

    Suspend Polyzone is only labeled for indoor cracks and crevices and will only treat the adult fleas that come into contact with those areas. We recommend using the products in our Indoor Flea Kit for the most effective control. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article on How to Get Rid of Fleas for more helpful information.

    Q
    How long will Suspend Polyzone remain affective once you mix it with water?
    I usually mix Suspend Polyzone with the recommended amount of water and leave it in the hand pump sprayer for future use. How long will the mixture remain affective?

    Q
    Will Suspend Polyzone work with fire ants?
    I live in Florida and this year have a major problem with fire ants.
    A

    Suspend Polyzone may kill Fire Ants that come in contact with it, but it would not be our product of choice for Fire ant control. We recommend applying the Extinguish Plus Fire Ant Bait or the Advion Fire Ant Bait. If you need to do a whole yard broadcast, most customers in Florida like Talstar XTRA for Fire ants. Please see our Fire Ant Pest Guide for more details about treating for this pest.

    Q
    I want to put barrier around my home for spiders, ants and giant flying cockroaches.

    We would recommend using Suspend Polyzone. It is a very good general insecticide that can be broadcast across your lawn and sprayed indoors. Suspend Polyzone features a proprietary polymer layer that protects the active ingredient from weather, irrigation and mechanical abrasion. This controlled release formulation, which resists erosion, ensures your treatment will continue to control targeted pests for up to 90 days outdoors.

Outdoors, you will spray around the perimeter of your home, in the lawn, etc. Make sure you spray the product in areas where the spiders are so that they can come in contact with it.

    Q
    Can I mix Bifen IT and Suspend Polyzone to spray?
    A

    Suspend Polyzone and Bifen IT should not be mixed together.  Mixing insecticides together doesn’t create a more powerful product, and it can cause repellency issues causing the insects to avoid the sprayed areas all together.
