Suspend SC could harm amphibians if they were sprayed directly with the product. You should not apply Suspend SC in a way that would contaminate water containing aquatic life. This is a non-selective insecticide, so it will kill flying insects that are sprayed directly or which contact the treated areas, including flies which would be desirable to frogs and other amphibians. If you are reducing the flying insect population, then these predators may go elsewhere to find food. If you would like to use an insecticide that is safer around aquatic areas, then Essentria IC3 is a great choice.
For best results, Suspend SC should be applied to dry surfaces.

Suspend SC can be used around pregnant women. However, we recommend that you stay out of the treated area until it has completely dried. If you feel as though it has caused other effects on you, we suggest you follow up with your doctor.
