Suspend SC is effective in direct sunlight, but if you do plan to treat in areas with direct sunlight, we would recommend Suspend Polyzone instead, as it has a special polymer coating which enables it to last longer under those direct UV rays. Suspend Polyzone will last up to 90 days outdoors, whereas Suspend SC will only last for about 30.
When looking to tank mix products like an insecticide and herbicide together, you want to follow the most restrictive labeling of the two and be sure that anywhere you may be looking to get insect control is not close to any desirable vegetation like bushes when its mixed with your weed control product. For lawn pests like ants, millipedes, and fleas it would be safe to mix the two so long as you keep the herbicide away from any plants it could harm around the lawn if drift were to occur. In those areas we would recommend only using the Suspend by itself.
Suspend SC is not a systemic product. It is not labeled for use on any type of edible vegetation.
No Suspend SC? should not be mixed with Temprid FX. ? Doing so can change the products formulations and effectiveness. Only products that are labeled to mixed together with an insecticide can do so, like Archer IGR? or Exciter insecticide.
It is best to triple rinse any equipment used to make an application of an insecticide such as Suspend SC? prior to using the sprayer for any other chemical application. Simply use warm water to rinse out the tank and spray through the wand. Repeat this 3 times prior to adding new chemical to the sprayer. You could also use a tank cleaner such as Monterey Spray Tank Cleaner.
There are no temperature restrictions for applying Suspend SC.
Mixed Suspend SC solution must be used or discarded within 24 hours.
No, it is not recommended to use Suspend SC since it would damage the hive also. I would check with your local beekeepers for treatment advice on hive beetles since a lot of products have known resistance in certain areas.
Yes, Suspend SC is great for treating spiders and their food source (which naturally drives them away from the area). This product would not prevent spiders from forming webs as they have to come in contact with the treated area in order for it to kill them. To actually prevent spider webs it would be better to use a product like Web Out.
Suspend SC can safely be applied to trees as directed on the product label. Pets should be out of the area during treatment and until dry.
Yes, Suspend SC is labeled to kill armyworms. For lawns, the application rate is 0.4fl to 0.6fl oz per 2 gallons of water per 1000 sq ft. Please view the full product label for more information.
Suspend SC does have toxicity to aquatic life, so you want to be sure that runoff or drift does not enter where fish are present. We would recommend spraying when rainfall is not expected within at least 24 hours and applying at least 25 ft. from the lake. You might also consider using a product that does not have aquatic toxicity, such as EcoVia EC.
Suspend SC should not be applied as a broadcast across carpet or flooring as it is only labeled to be used as an interior crack and crevice spray. When this product is applied according to the product label it is safe for pets and people once it has had time to completely dry.
Suspend SC should not stain anything that water would not stain if used according to the instructions on the product label. However, it is not recommended for use around water, as it is highly toxic to fish and other aquatic life. If you are treating near water, we would suggest using something like EcoVia or Essentria IC3 instead.
Suspend SC is to be mixed at anywhere from 0.4 to 0.6 fl oz per gallon to treat 1,000 sq ft.
No, Suspend SC is not micro-encapsulated.
Suspend SC is labeled for all three and would do a good job. You would also benefit from adding an insect growth regulator such as NyGuard IGR. This prevents the young from maturing into reproducing adults.
Suspend SC should not be applied as a broadcast across carpet or flooring as it is only labeled to be used as an interior crack and crevice spray.
Yes, Supsend SC can be used in a backpack sprayer. The mix rate is 0.25-1.50 oz. per gallon of water depending on what you are treating for. Please refer to the product label for complete application instructions.
Suspend SC is not labeled specifically for rodent mites. The easiest method to control rodent mites that have entered your home is to physically remove them with a vacuum cleaner or wipe them up with a moist cloth. Mites are not automatically killed by a vacuum cleaner so freeze the bag to prevent the mites from crawling back out.
Locating the source and eliminating the hosts and nests is important to prevent further problems with these mites. Nests are usually located in attics, basements, or inside walls. If necessary, trap them with kill traps or glue boards. Spray the dead rat and its nest with a disinfectant.
Removing the mite source (dead mice, rats, and abandoned nests) is very important. Unless you remove their source, rat mites will continue to seek human host infesting your house.
