    Q
    I ordered Precor and Suspend for a bad flea infestation, how would you treat? We have kids
    I was thinking wetting all floors down and all baseboards, cat bedding, etc. with Suspend SC and Precor IGR. Do I combine the two and wet all floors? What are your thoughts? We are in the process of sanding wood floors so staining isn't an issue. I know the cracks are filled with eggs
    A
    Suspend SC and Precor IGR can be mixed together in the same sprayer so you do not have to treat twice. You will need to vacuum all areas prior to treatment. This includes all the carpet, upholstered furniture, baseboards and other indoor areas that are frequented by pets. Discard the bag when done. Pet bedding should be clean and replaced. You will spray Suspend SC and Precor IGR in areas where the fleas have been found. You will vaccum daily for 14 days and do a second treatment with Suspend SC. It is possible that another treatment will need to be done after the two initial treatments so you will use the Precor IGR if a third treatment is needed.

    Q
    Can Suspend SC be used on dogs for flea & ticks?
    If yes what rate/gal? If no, what is the best product for use on dogs for fleas & ticks?
    A
    Suspend SC cannot be used on any animals. Permethrin SFR is a concentrate that can be used on dogs (do not use on cats) for flea and tick control. According to the Permethrin SFR product label you will mix ¼ fl. oz. of concentrate to 1 pt. water and use 1-2 fl. oz. of dilution to spray on each animal. Spot treat back, face, legs tail and ears. If you would like to "dip" the dogs you will use ¼ fl. oz. to 1¼ gallons water and thoroughly wet the dog to the skin with sponge or rag. Let drip dry. We also have a ready to use product called Petcor Flea/Tick spray which requires no measuring or mixing.

    10/30/2013
    Q
    Can I use Suspend SC on a Yellow Jacket nest?
    A
    While Suspend SC is labeled for yellow jacket control, it is not what we would recommend for a nest treatment. You would either want to use Tempo 1% Dust to puff onto/in the nest and allow it to transfer through all the cavities they have built and eliminate them without much risk to you of getting stung. Or you could use a product like Wasp X which is a foaming aerosol product that you can spray the nest with from 15 feet away that will consume the entire nest and foam up around it to suck the yellow jackets in. Tempo is preferred if it is a ground nest and you would apply the dust with a hand duster.

    Q
    Will Suspend SC protect against carpenter bees when sprayed on Cedar
    I built a cedar pergola and carpenter bees have shown interest in it. Can I spray the pergola with Suspend SC to protect? If yes, how often should I reapply? The pergola does get direct sun in Pennsylvania.
    A
    Suspend SC will treat for Carpenter bees. Since it is in direct sunlight, we recommend Suspend Polyzone which has a stronbger polymer to stand up to UV rays and create a lower release of active ingredient. You would want to reapply once every 2-3 months.

    Q
    Can I use Suspend SC for food storage areas? The food will be in boxes and containers. A home pantry area.
    A
    Suspend SC can be applied as a crack and crevice application in a food handling area. All food must be packaged/covered or removed during treatment. If you are treating for a pantry pest, we recommend that locate all the infested items and get rid of them. Insecticides only will only kill the adults that are running around but usually the damaging larva remain in the food containers and are protected from insecticides.

    Q
    We have springtails and silverfish and have used suspend SC. Is there anything stronger?
    We used to use diazinon granules and they worked. Can we purchase it anywhere?
    A
    Unfortunately, Diazinon was banned by the EPA years ago and is no lonnger available or manufactured.  Suspend SC is one of our best sellers and is considered one of the best there is.  Springtails are very tricky to treat though.  Springtails breed from moisture areas around the house, and unless you find the source of the problem it does not matter how much you spray, they will still reproduce and continue to be a problem.  Please read our How To Get Rid of Springtails article from our website for some ideas and suggestions.

    Q
    Can we spray Suspend SC on our lawn as preventive care?
    Can we spray Suspend SC on our lawn as preventive care to any kind of pests this product could take care off. If yes, what should be the mixing ratio.
    A

    Suspend SC can be used as a broadcast spray on lawns and on ornamental plants to protect these areas from lawn/ornamental plant infesting insects and it can be used as a perimeter barrier spray to stop pests from getting into your home. Each of these applications and application rates are very different. Can you tell us specifically what type of application you are trying to complete so we can better advise you?

    How much of Suspend and Gentrol do I mix together to get best results for bedbugs?

    A
    You will mix 1 fl oz of Suspend and 1 fl oz of Gentrol together in 1 gallon of water for bedbug applications. Suspend and Gentrol are both concentrates.

    Q
    Does Suspend SC kill termites?
    I have termites, and I need to get rid of them. Will this do it?
    A
    Suspend SC like many other products will kill termites if the product comes in direct contact with the termites.  However, it will only kill the termites that do contact it, not the termites or the queen that might be below the ground or deeper in the wood.  For this reason, a product called Termidor SC is considered to the best termite product available and is the most popular product used by professional companies today. Termidor SC will kill all of the termites in the colony, not just the ones that it touches.  You still need to have the product contact a few of the termites by drilling holes into the wood and treating them directly, or by treating the soil around the structure as explained in our "How To Do A Termite Treatment" article.

  • Asked by Dan from Swanton Ohio
    06/25/2015
    Q
    How does Suspend compare to Bifen / Talstar for mosquitos. Is there a longer residual with Suspend?
    A
    The outdoor residual effects of Suspend SC, Bifen IT, and Talstar P are all 30 days outdoors. However, if you would like a longer outdoor residual then Suspend Polyzone would be ideal for your mosquito control needs. Suspend Polyzone has a 90 day residual outdoors utilizing the same active ingredient as the regular Suspend SC but the added polymer allows the insecticide to adhere to surfaces better and resist the elements of weather.

    Q
    Is it okay to spray Suspend SC during a rainy week?
    I have my Suspend SC and would like to spray but it will be raining all week. Is it ok to spray while it is raining? Do I have to wait until it is dry to apply?
    A
    Suspend SC needs to be applied when it is dry condition and will be dry for at least 6 hours after you spray. Typically after 6 hours of dry time the product will be considered "rain fast". With heavy rain conditions you may have to reapply as early as 21 days after initial spray rather than the normal 30 to 60 you can sometimes get with this product.

    Q
    Does Suspend SC kill funnel and wolf spiders?
    We live in Charlotte, North Carolina, and we have woods behind our house and bushes in front of the house. There are more wolf spiders than funnel spiders, but they come into the garage. We do mechanical work on our cars, and we need to be on the ground sometimes.
    A
    Yes, Suspend SC can kill just about any type of spider, but generally speaking the spiders will take a long time to die. We usually recommend using Cyper WP. Cypermethrin, the active ingredient in Cyper WP, is known to be one of the most effective active ingredients for spiders and other hard to kill insects. You might also want to check out our spider control kit, which comes with all the products you need to effectively control spiders.

    Q
    After the application of Suspend, if I vacuum that area, will the product still be effective?
    Will the product remain on the carpet after vacuuming?
    A
    Suspend SC is really labeled to be applied to cracks and crevices not as a broadcast over carpet. If you were to vacuum a treated area after it has dried it would not take the product up.

  • Asked by John from United States
    09/29/2014
    Q
    I need an effective inside spider eliminator that is safe to use around children.
    A
    We would recommend using Suspend SC. It is a very good residual product that can be sprayed indoors and outdoors. Indoors, you will spray along the baseboards and cracks and crevices. Outdoors, you can spray around the perimeter of your home and in places where the spiders would reside. Once the product is dry, it is safe for your children to return to the room. It also dries clear.
