    Q
    What is the difference between Suspend SC & Suspend Polyzone?
    A

    Suspend Polyzone is the newer, better version of Suspend SC. Suspend Polyzone has a polymer added to its formulation that enable it to last 90 days outdoors and work better on porous surfaces. Suspend SC will only last about 30 days outdoors.

    Q
    Does Suspend SC really kill bed bugs?
    A

    While Suspend SC is labeled for bedbugs and some still use it for that pest, there are some known resisitance issues with it, so it is not commonly recommended.   You may want to look over our Bed Bug Guide for more information on treating and preventing this pest.

    Q
    Will steam cleaning the floor affect Suspend SC in crevices etc?
    I used suspend sc around edge of floor and cracks and crevices. I removed carpet (due to allergies) and applied a laminate floor. I am not supposed to steam laminate but allergies require I sometime take mop up to edges of floor. Will this cause suspend SC (after it has dried) to be rendered inactive in anyway? Thank you
    A

     If you were to mop along the edges of the wall where Suspend SC was applied, it would take it up.

  • Asked by Emma from Cullman, Al
    06/18/2018
    Q
    Is Suspend SC ok for use indoors for flea control?
    I've sprayed about 8 gallons of Deltamethrin mixed with the Precor about every other day and still see about 3 to 4 fleas a day. I even vacuum every other day. This is my concrete basement. Does the poison continue to work everyday. Or do I need to try something else. It has helped but hasn't gotten rid of them all. Am I doing the correct thing?? Please help.
    A

    No, you’ve been treating too often and with too much product. The main thing to know when dealing with fleas is that there is no overnight fix for them, it can take multiple applications to completely eliminate them sometimes 2-3 treatments or more.  You also want to make sure that you are following the instructions on the product labels that you are using.  Suspend SC is not labeled to be used anymore often than once every 21 days.   Per the product label for indoor applications, you should also only 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. Suspend SC would not be a good choice for indoor flea control because it can only be used over cracks and crevices. For indoors, we would highly recommend our Indoor Flea Kit.  It is our most popular product for indoor flea control and is usually the final treatment that people end up using that works when they have tried everything else. Please read over our Flea Treatment Guide, refer to section 2.2.

    Q
    Does Suspend harm beneficial insects e.g. honeybees and ladybugs?
    A

    Suspend SC can kill beneficial insects like bees and butterflies if they contact a treated surface long enough to receive a lethal dose and is labeled for asian lady beetles aka lady bugs.  It is not really selective in the insects it kills.

    Q
    Will Suspend SC by Bayer kill grass hoppers?
    if not what will?
    A
    Yes Suspend SC will kill grasshoppers. The Suspend SC product label states that you should use 0.4 to 0.6 fl oz/1000 sq. ft  for outdoor control in your lawn (The amount of water you use it mainly up to you, but you should use at least 2 gallons per 1,000 sq ft). Indoors you should .50 - .75 ounce per gallon of water. Spray under appliances, under furniture, in cracks and crevices around baseboards, door frames and window frames and around areas where utilities (cables, pipes, wires) enter into the structure.

    Q
    How often should I use Suspend SC outside?
    Also, how often can i use Termidor outside.
    A
    All insecticides have different times they will last outside which is mainly dependant on where you live, climate, how hot or how much rain you have, etc.   Suspend typically will last for 60 days but can be applied more often or less often depending on where you live.  Termidor is typically applied every 3 to 4 months around the perimeter for best results.

  • Asked by Alecia from Casper, Wy
    08/19/2011
    Q
    Approximately how long will it take to kill spiders with Suspend SC?
    I sprayed it directly on 2 hobo spiders and they seem unaffected by it
    A
    While Suspend SC offers a long lasting residual to keep killing insects even after it has dried it is not an immediate knockdown product. Suspend SC will take a few hours to kill spiders even if they are sprayed directly with the product. If you need something with an immediate knockdown you will need to use an aerosol pyrethrin spray such as 565 Plus XLO or Microcare.

  • Asked by Debbie from Arvada, Colorado

    Q
    Tiny black bugs in crevices and corners of carpet. Don't go into kitchen or anywhere else.
    They are so small that they almost look like mold but I have dug up a couple and they are hard shelled, tiny bugs. They like moisture because when I shampooed the carpet, they got worse. When I steamed the carpet, they got worse. I can't stand it, please help! will this work?
    A
    Unfortunately without seeing the insect we have no way to identify it. We recommend you either call a professional pest control company and have them come out and do a free inspection (most companies offer a free inspection/identification) or take samples of the insect to your local cooperative extension office to have the insects identified. Once you have the insects identified we can help you select the products you will need to eliminate them.

    Q
    Can Suspend SC be used on my dock to control spiders?
    I am concerned about spraying the dock on the overspray getting into the lake. Will Suspend SC hurt the fish and wildlife in the lake? Is this the best product to use around the house and the dock?
    A
    Suspend SC is toxic to aquatic life and care should be taken to make sure it does not get into the water. We do carry Essentria IC3 which can be safely used around water as it not toxic to fish or other aquatic animals. Essentria IC3 is labeled for spiders as well as many other insects and would be a good choice for you.

    Q
    My Tropical plants have scale. Will Suspend SC kill scale?
    A
    Suspend SC is labeled for scale insects when they are still in the "crawler" stage. If the scale insects on your plants are past this stage or if you are not sure what stage they are in we recommend you contact your local cooperative extension office and speak to the mater gardener on staff. The master gardener can help with an accurate insect ID and also offer guidance on what will work best on the type of plant and insect you are dealing with.

    Q
    What would you recommend to kill ants on a brick paver patio?
    A
    Suspend SC is a great product to control ants both inside and outside your home. You would mix 1 ounce to 1 gallon of water and spray all around your foundation, window and door frames, nearby foliage of bushes and ornamentals, and any side walks, driveways or in your case pavers, where ants are present. This product dries clear and has almost no odor, and as soon as the product has dried it is safe to resume normal activity in the treated area. Let us know if you have any other questions.

    Q
    What are the pros and cons of Suspend SC or Permethrin for cluster flies. Do you prefer one over the other?
    A
    Either active ingredient is going to give you comparable results.  Big difference is that Suspend SC is odorless whereas Permethrin does have a mild petroleum odor to it.  We recommend that you read our article How to Get rid of Cluster flies. This article will explain how to stop them from coming in and what to do if the cluster flies have already gained entry

    Q
    Will Suspend SC harm farm fowl
    I have 18 rosters right now will it harm them if they eat bugs that have come in contact with Suspend SC.
    A
    Suspend SC is only designed to kill small insects. The roosters would need to ingest quite a few of the treated insects to have an effect on them.  Just make sure they are out of the area being treated until the area dries

  • Asked by Q. from Chicago, Il
    09/02/2013
    Q
    I purchased Suspend SC for both bed bug & roach control. Will this work for both?
    A

    Suspend SC used to be the go to product for bed bug control. However, there have been signs that some strains of bed bugs have become resistant to it since it has been used so much.  Still, bed bug control has much better success if you use a variety of products. Our bed bug kits have many products that are considered the top bed bug control products. Our kits also come with full instructions.  They have a very high success rate with our customers and your best chance of eliminating a bed bug infestation. We would suggest adding an IGR (insect growth regulator) called Gentrol to halt the reproductive cycle of the bedbugs and roaches. Also, apply a roach bait in areas where you have not sprayed. Please click on the links below for additional treatment information for both insects.
