    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.

  • Asked by Norman from Savannah, Ga

    Q
    How do I apply Suspend Polyzone for carpet beetles?
    Will Suspend Polyzone truly get rid of carpet beetles? And which concentration do I need? We had our carpets cleaned and have now found carpet beetles.
    A

    Yes Suspend SC, not Suspend Polyzone is labeled for carpet beetle control and it will eliminate carpet beetles that come into contact with treated areas. Suspend Polyzone is primarily meant for outdoor use.  It is very important that the source of the infestation (where the damaging larva is harboring) is discovered and eliminated, not just the visible adult insects you see wandering around. Until you find out what that is and deal with it you will continue to get more of the carpet beetles emerging from hiding. Carpet beetles may be as likely to feed on grain based food materials as they are on animal byproducts. Pet foods stored in forgotten places, baking goods left too long in the cupboard, rodent baits tossed in the attic - all of these are quite susceptible to carpet beetle feeding. Plus, you also have the typical carpet beetle diets of dead insects (wasp nests in the attic, dead insects in window sills), feathers (bird nests, dead birds), hair (dead rodents, wool products, trophy mounts), and other things made from animal byproducts. Once the source of the infestation is removed or cleaned, using Suspend SC will help get rid of the annoying adult beetles. You can spray once a month until all of the beetles are gone.

    Q
    Can Suspend Polyzone be used to treat mosquitos through a power backpack mister?
    I am using a Stihl power backpack sprayer with a 3.7 Gallon tank. I would like to treat for mosquitoes and would like to know rates. I like the fact that it can still be effective with rain and irrigation (once dry). I am looking for the perfect mosquito product to run through my power backpack blower. Thank you
    A

    Yes, Suspend Polyzone can be used for mosquitoes in a backpack sprayer. The mixing ratio is 0.75 fl. oz. per gallon of water. This product can be broadcast across your lawn, sprayed on bushes, trees, flowers, and other places where the mosquitoes would be. Suspend Polyzone is not labeled for edibles. Once the product is dry, the residual is approximately 90 days outdoors. Rain and/or irrigation does not affect the product once it has dried.

    Q
    Can Suspend Polyzone be sprayed on carpets (mixed with an IGR) for fleas?
    Exterminator was previously spraying Dragnet mixed with IGR on all flooring services in my house, including carpet, tile and hardwood. I would like to start treating on my own and see that Dragnet is discontinued. Can I spray this on all floors, if not where should it be sprayed indoors or other suggestions?
    A

    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.

  • Asked by Tyler from Gonzales, La
    04/11/2016
    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
    Can you use Suspend Polyzone if you are pregnant?
    A

    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.
