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.
Suspend Polyzone is labeled to apply where the false powderpost beetles have been found/seen. It is not for structural protection or long term control in the wood. We recommend Boracare instead because it will penetrate the wood completely and will remain active for the life of the wood.
Suspend Polyzone is safe to apply in poultry houses when animals are not present until treated areas are completely dry. We do not recommend treating areas where animals graze.
The shelf life of Suspend Polyzone is normally 3-5 years if you store it properly in a room temperature stable evironment ,out of direct sunlight. The chances of it being effective after that time is unlikely.
The kill time for Suspend Polyzone varies. It is a residual product so it will not kill if sprayed directly. Suspend will kill wasps and other insects over a period of several hours after they contact treated areas. It will leave a residual that will last up to 90 days, both indoors and outdoors.
Suspend Polyzone is only for treating cracks and crevices inside, it cannot be used as a broadcast across floors. Tengard is an option that has the same active as Dragnet. For hard surfaces though you do not need to treat the entire floor. Treatment should be more directed to cracks and crevices on hardwood and tile floors as that is where the eggs and young would be. Please see our Flea Treatment Guide for more tips and information about treating this pest.
The mixing ratio of Suspend Polyzone is 0.25-1.5 fl. oz. per gallon of water for mosquitoes. It is recommended that you treat at the higher ratio, which is 1.5 fl. oz. per gallon of water for your first treatment, and for subsequent treatments, use 0.25 fl. oz. per gallon of water. For 50 gallons of water, you will use 12.5-75 fl. oz.
We do not recommend that you do the treatment of Suspend Polyzone, but rather have someone else spray for you just to stay on the side of caution during pregnancy. We recommend that you stay out of the treated area until it has completely dried and then it would be safe to return to.
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.
Suspend SC is an excellent product and should give you great results. It controls a wide variety of crawling, flying, turf, and ornamental pests found in and around households, including, but not limited to, ants, bed bugs, beetles, boxelder bugs, chinch bugs, fleas, mosquitos, pantry pests, roaches, and spiders.
If you are treating outdoors, you may want to consider using Suspend Polyzone. It 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. 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.
Suspend Polyzone is not specifically labeled for clover mites. We would suggest applying Bifen IT. Bifen IT is labeled to treat for clover mites when used accordingly. Clover mites are barely smaller than a pinhead. You may notice clover mites as dark red moving specks which occur in large numbers. They are generally found crawling aroudn doors, windows, sidings, curtains, or furniture. Be sure to treat the ground at least 5-10 feet from the structure where you are seeing the clover mites.
Suspend Polyzone can be used for scorpions. Per the product label: Treat areas where scorpions may hide. Treat known or suspected harborages on and around exterior walls. Apply spot treatments into cracks, crevices, weep holes or other access points into hollow block walls or masonry veneer. Spray around and beneath stones and along rocky areas. Scorpions will often harbor beneath the bark on trees, so inspect these areas and treat as required. When possible, remove piles of debris and building materials near the exterior wall that can harbor the pests. Apply a perimeter treatment to the exterior walls and adjacent soil. You may treat around piles of firewood, but do not treat firewood with this product
Once the Suspend Polyzone is dry, the residual is approximately 90 days outdoors. Rain and/or irrigation does not affect the product once it has dried, and does not become hazardous after rain.
