    Suspend Polyzone a repellent?
    How can it be a repellent when it kills, elaborate more on this? A true repellent repellent, This product kills.
    A

    Suspend Polyzone is considered a repellent because insects can detect it. This does not mean they are truly repelled from the area they can just choose to avoid it as they know something is there. They must contact the treated area to be effected by the product though

  • Asked by Michael from Concord, Nc

    Q
    Should I use Suspend Polyzone in addition to Onslaught Fastcap? Is an exponent needed?
    Using Nyguard IGR as well. I didn't see anything about using both. Looking for general lawn and house perimeter spray applied with backpack sprayer in NC. Any other recommendations? Thanks!
    A

    There would be absolutely no reason to mix Suspend Polzyone with Onslaught Fastcap, or any other residual insecticide. Onslaught FastCap already contains an exponent and you would not need or want to add anymore to it. You are welcome to mix an IGR like NyGuard in with Onslaught or Suspend Polyzone if you feel its needed. If you are just using this for general pest control and prevention around the home and lawn, you can spray anywhere from monthly to quarterly based on your needs. Both the Onslaught and Suspend Polyzone will hold up to the outdoor elements roughly 60-90 days based on the weather and pest pressure over that time.

  • Asked by Judy from Summerfield
    06/04/2021
    Q
    Is Suspend Polyzone toxic to birds?
    Particularly if insects are ingested.
    A

    It would be recommended to remove birds from any treated areas during treatment and for at least a few hours after application as birds can be highly sensitive to chemicals.  Suspend Polyzone is only applied along baseboards and in cracks and crevices so very limited indoor areas as directed on the product label.

    Q
    If I cover my ac unit, can I spray Suspend Polyzone around it?
    I would like to prevent entry of American cockroaches through AC unit, but I assume we would not want to spray the unit directly. Is it safe to cover it with a plastic drop cloth or tarp and spraying around the unit?
    A

    You could potentially spray Suspend Polyzone around an AC unit as long as you are not spraying directly into any vents or electrical equipment. Be sure that you have installed the unit correctly and sealed up the edge properly. It would be unlikely for roaches to enter through equipment like that if it is properly maintained and in working order.

    Q
    Do I need to wear a mask when spraying Suspend Polyzone?

    The Suspend Polyzone MSDS label recommends the following precautions when applying:

    Respiratory Protection: When respirators are required, select NIOSH approved equipment based on actual or potential airborne concentrations and in accordance with the appropriate regulatory standards and/or industry recommendations.

    When treating areas directly over your head, wear eye protection (safety glasses, goggles or face shield) and dust/mist mask or respirator.

    You should also use a mask in you are in an area that has poor ventilation.

  • Asked by Bob from Mountain City, Tn
    04/07/2020
    Q
    Are there additives in Suspend Polyzone?
    We live in the mountains of North Eastern TN, and there are some REALLY NASTY spiders here. I killed a black widow with a body the size of the end joint of my little finger! I have some monsters in the crawlspace to. Is there an additive that raises the killing power of Suspend Polyzone? Is it ok to fog the crawlspace first, then a week later go in and spray?
    A

    There is not additive for the Suspend Polyzone to make it more effective against spiders really. You could add ExciteR with the Polyzone to give a faster knockdown during application only to all insects. Something like Onslaught Fastcap is also an option with both if you want a faster initial knockdown and a product more designed for harder to kill insects like spiders.

    Fogging only kills those insect out in the open at the time you do so.  You can fog and then apply a residual once the air has been well venilated.

  • Asked by Lee from Tennessee
    04/03/2020
    Q
    Can Suspend Polyzone be mixed with Demon WP for outdoor use?
    I want to mix Suspend Polyzone with Demon WP for outdoor insect control. Can I mix these two insecticides?
    A

    You cannot mix Demon WP with Suspend Polyzone.  Both of these products are synthetic pyrethroids, so there would be nothing to gain by mixing these products together. Making a pesticide too strong can actually backfire. Areas that are treated with this overly concentrated spray will be repellent and insects will simply avoid the treated areas prolonging the infestation.

    Q
    Can I apply Suspend Polyzone on plants/soil on a green wall that has millipedes?
    I have millipedes on my green wall within the soil and at the wet bottom where soil and plant debris fall. How would I apply?
    A

    You can treat your ornamental green wall with Suspend Polyzone to get rid of millipedes. We would recommend to spray with low pressure to avoid splashing the solution. Keep in mind that millipedes prefer wet soil, so you may need to look at how you are irrigating the plants so that you can reduce the amount of moisture in these areas and ultimately change the conditions that are favoring development for the millipedes.
