  • Asked by Jack from Atlanta, Ga

    Q
    I checked with Bayer and they say that Suspend "suppresses" mites meaning it only kills 50% so not sure you
    can say it is that effective. Also says this on the label. Have your customers found it effective for bird mites?
    A
    Suspend SC is not labeled for bird mites and we do not recommend it for that use. Susped is successfully used for plant infesting mites. It is important to be absolutely sure you are actually dealing with bird mites. Have the suspected bird mite identified by a reputable source, such as your local cooperative extension office or a reputable pest control operator. Treatments will vary for different pests. Treatment for say bedbugs is much different than the treatment for bird mites.  If you do indeed have bird mites, you must first find the source of the infestation, usually a bird nest or a dead bird on or in the home. Removal of the infested nest or bird and a thorough cleanup is necessary. For treatment in the home, we recommend you frequently vacuum all carpet and upholstery and dispose of the bag or vacuum contents in a sealed bag outdoors. Spray Sterifab on couches, chairs and other upholstered furniture where you may spend time resting. Use Cimexa dust in all cracks and crevices around the perimeter of the room. Apply a thin coat of MotherEarth dust to rugs and carpets. Rake (not sweep) nap back and forth, causing dust to enter rug or carpet. Let product sit overnight. Repeat application as necessary and vacuum every 3 - 4 days for effective control. MotherEarth dust does not have a fast knockdown, it can take several days for insects to die after they contact the dust. Onslaught can be used for a faster knockdown. Thoroughly apply as a fine particle broadcast spray using a hand pump sprayer to infested rugs and carpets and other cracks and crevices around the perimeter of each room. Put all clothes through the dryer on high heat to help kill mites and their eggs.We have had many customers use the above recommendations with great success. Most customers report that it can take several months to get rid of all of the mites. Finding and removing the source of the infestation is very important and is the key to getting rid of the mites for good.

    Q
    I just had my house treated for springtails using Suspend SC and approximately 6 hours after being treated I
    noticed significantly more activity from the springtails than normal. Is this common before the chemical starts to take effect??
    A
    Suspend SC can take up to 24 hours to work. It is not a contact kill and needs time in order for it to work. Please give the product more time for it to work. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

     Suspend SC will treat for scorpions. We would recommend to use Suspend Polyzone in AZ for scorpions, because it will stand up better to UV rays.

    Q
    Can I use Suspend SC inside for roaches?
    How many ounces do I use for a 3 gallon sprayer?
    A

    Suspend SC is labeled for roaches, and should do a great job helping you eliminate the infestation. You would use .25 to 1.5 ounces per gallon of water.  We recommend that in addition to a concentrated liquid insecticide like Suspend SC you also use a high quality roach bait gel, as well as an insect growth regulator to help stop the breeding cycle of the roaches. We would actually recommend one of our Roach Control Kits.  We also have some great advice here "How To Treat for Roaches".

  • Asked by Shah from Luling
    12/05/2015
    Q
    Can Suspend SC be used for flea treatments indoors as a broadcast?
    I have ordered ultracide but have been very impressed with suspend SC outside and would love to use it inside for my flea issue. I have read prior testimonials and on certain websites that suspend SC can be used as a broadcasting agent for fleas indoors.
    A

    Per the Suspend SC product label: For control of carpet beetles, fleas and ticks indoors, apply as a coarse, low pressure crack and crevice spot treatment to problem areas and infested habitats. Do not treat entire floor, carpet or floor coverings. Do not apply as a space spray. Application to furniture should be restricted to areas where prolonged contact by humans will not occur. Care should be taken to limit spot treatment to pet beds and infested floor coverings.

    The Ultracide you ordered is a fantastic option for indoor broadcast treatments as it has a knock down and residual as well as an IGR within the can. Be sure to vacuum at least every other day to stimulate egg hatch and pull up any live or dead adults and feces.

    Please see our Flea Treatment Guide for more tips and information.

  • Asked by John from Ny
    04/17/2016
    Q
    Is Suspend SC non-detectable for carpenter ants?
    A

    Suspend SC is not a non-repellent product, so during the initial application insects could potentially detect the product. However as the product dries to the surface it will become less noticeable to insects in general and they will continue to walk over the treat surface. If you are looking for an outdoor home foundation spray that is a non-repellent you could go with a product like Termidor SC or Dominion 2L, both of which work very well for carpenter ants as well as other pests.

  • Asked by Rachel from Fresno, Ca
    05/06/2016
    Q
    Will Suspend SC harm my dog if he eats out of his food bowl where I had sprayed?
    I had sprayed around 5:30pm outside of our home for roaches. My husband feed our dog outside couple hrs after I had sprayed the concrete around 7:40pm. Our dog tends to knock his food out of his bowl and eat the rest off the ground. Because I had sprayed earlier and he licked the area will it make him sick?
    A

    Once Suspend SC has dried, it is safe for pets to eat in the area. This should not harm your pet because the product is dry and does not reactivate if the area gets wet again. If you notice any changes in your pet, we would recommend contacting Poison Control and/or your vet.
