    Q
    flea problems
    I want something to spray on the my carpets and couch. It says you can but then discourages putting on the couches. I have a 5 year old and a three year old so it concerns me chemicals but something has to be done. Please help. What is the best Suspend SC or would Demize ER work better?
    A

    Suspend SC is a good option for fleas. You would need to mix an IGR (insect growth regulator) with it to make sure the fleas do not reproduce. We would recommend the same with Demize EC. These products should be added to water and directly applied with a gallon sprayer to problem areas such as rugs, carpets, furniture, pet bedding, baseboards, and cracks and crevices

    We would recommend using Ultracide. It contains an insecticide, as well as an IGR (insect growth regulator). This will stop the fleas from reproducing. It is safe to spray on your furniture. This will kill the flea larvae and eggs as well as the adult fleas. You will do your first treatment and then vacuum daily for 14 days and do a second treatment. Sometimes a third and/or fouth treatment is necessary.

    We would not recommend spraying when the children are in the room. Once the products have had time to dry, 2-4 hours, they can return to the room(s) that have been treated.

    Q
    Suspend SC for spider mites?
    Had spider mites in my indoor garden if I empty the garden and treat with Suspend SC will that rid me of the spider mites?
    A
    Suspend SC is not labeled to treat spider mites so we would not recommend it.  Most folks choose a product such as Talstar P as it is labeled for spider mites and is known to be gentle on plants.

    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.

    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

    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.

    A general insecticide, such as Suspend SC, can be used indoors to kill and prevent ants, roaches, crickets, and various other insects.  This product is mixed with water and applied around baseboards and cracks and crevices.  Be sure to keep pets and children out of the area until the product has dried completely, usually1-2 hours.
