    Q
    When should I apply Suspend Polyzone if I am treating for crickets?
    A

    If you are using Suspend Polyzone for crickets, it would be best to treat about every 90 days.  Indoors, you will apply as a crack and crevice or spot spray to areas where pests hide, such as baseboards, corners, storage areas, closets, around water pipes, doors and windows, behind and under refrigerators, cabinets, sinks, furnaces, stoves, the underside of shelves, drawers and similar areas. Pay particular attention to cracks and crevices. We recommend treating the outside perimeter to help stop insect pests from coming indoors to start with. Apply Suspend Polyzone to a band of soil and vegetation 6 to 10 feet wide around and adjacent to the structure. Also, treat the foundation of the structure to a height of 2 to 3 feet.

    Q
    What mixture would you recommend using Suspend Polyzone spraying outside for spiders and fleas?
    I'm in an apt. which I would spray the grassy areas front and back... as well spray the short concrete walkways and porch areas in front and back.
    A

    Suspend Polyzone has a wide range of dilution rates, from 0.25 – 1.5 oz per gal of water. The middle rate of 0.75 oz per gal of water should work well for prevention and maintenance. You can use the higher rate of 1.5 oz if you are already seeing a lot of insects and/or spiders and need the cleanout. While you can treat along the edges of concrete areas, you should never treat as a broadcast all over impervious surfaces such as concrete.

  • Asked by Jason from Texas
    08/15/2018
    Q
    What is the heat tolerance for Suspend Polyzone?
    Here in Texas it can get hot and breaks down quicker.
    A

    Suspend Polyzone is formulated to last longer than other pesticides in heat, sunlight, and other extreme weather. There is not a specific temperature requirement or limit for applying it outdoors, as long as temperatures are over freezing. We recommend spraying in the morning or evening when temperatures are cooler for your own comfort and since pollinators are less active during those times. You can retreat at 30, 60, or 90 days intervals depending on pest pressure and rainfall.

    Q
    If Suspend Polyzone freezes in the bottle?
    Will Suspend be less effective or not at all effective if it freezes before you apply it?
    A

    Suspend Polyzone can be less effective if it freezes then thaws, then freezes and thaws again and again.  It should be stored in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures (below freezing and above 90) to prevent any issues.  If the product has been frozen only once and does not appear to be separating it should be fine.

    Q
    Is Suspend Polyzone effective for treating for clothes moths?
    We have clothes moths now in several rooms in our home. We are in the process of emptying all of our closets of all clothes, inspecting them (found almost no damage from them), etc., and then sealing them in airtight containers. We then want to treat along all walls and corners in both carpeted and bare wood floors. We can't tell if they are in the carpets or not, so want to treat them around edges.
    A

    Suspend Polyzone  can help control clothing moths if it is sprayed on infested areas which is cracks and crevices around rooms, under rugs etc. The most important part of clothes moth control is finding the source and thoroughly cleaning the item(s) or disposing of the item(s) all together. Failure to do so will lead to poor results. Clothes moth eggs generally hatch out within 10 days during warmer temperatures and two weeks or longer during colder temperatures. Spraying a second time will help kill the adults but unless the larva are targeted you may continue to need additional treatments. Please take a moment to read our article How to Get Rid of Clothes Moths to learn more about this pest.

    Q
    Is Suspend Polyzone as effective as Talstar for mosquitoes? Will it also control armyworms?
    A

    Suspend Polyzone is labeled for mosquitoes and it does have a 90 day residual, however it is not labeled for army worms. Talstar P would be the best product for treating both mosquitoes and army worms.

    Q
    What is best for controlling mosquitoes?
    I normally spray my scrubs and fence with permethrin, and wondered if there was anything else that would do better. they collect under my porch and any covered area really bad.
    A

    Suspend Polyzone would be a better option and can last up to 90 days outside.  The key with mosquitoes is to apply to the underside of leaves on trees/bushes which is where the adults lay during the day.

    Q
    What is the best application method for outdoors (mosquitos) with Suspend Polyzone? Pump sprayer? or backpack sprayer?
    Need to spray for mosquitos and gnats outdoors. just curious on the best application method.
    A

    The most effective mosquito applications with Suspend Polyzone are made with a backpack mist blower like the Solo 451.  It has the ability to create a fine mist that can be blown up into the undersides of trees and the interiors of shrubs and bushes, where mosquitoes harbor.  It can also be applied with a hand pump sprayer or a backpack sprayer as well.
