  • Asked by Manny from Palm Bay
    03/19/2017
    Q
    How do I treat for fleas outdoors with Suspend SC?
    Can i spray it every day? or Weekly at the start?
    A

    Suspend SC is only labeled to be applied every 21-30 days outdoors.  To treat for fleas outdoors, you will mix 1.5 fluid ounces per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft.  We strongly recommend that you also add an insect growth regulator (IGR) to the mix to impede their reproduction. Pivot 10 would be a great choice.  Please take a look at our Outdoor Flea Control Guide for more tips on treating and preventing fleas.

The mixing rate of Suspend SC is 0.25-1.5 fl oz per gallon of water.  For general pest control, we recommend using the 0.25 fl oz per gallon of water rate.

    Q
    Will Suspend SC work to kill carpet beetle larvae and eggs?
    It's been 6 months since I seen a carpet beetle in my home since spraying with Suspend. I sprayed outside and spot treated indoor. I also dusted DE around baseboards lately because I still see the beetle larvae once in a while on walls/baseboards. What do you recommend? Should I spray the Suspend on all baseboards in home? I also vacuum twice a week and launder everything in closets every 6 months.
    A

    Suspend SC should be applied to cracks and crevices where the larvae hide and can be done every 21 days.  Suspend will not kill eggs.  We have  great information here at the bottom of the page that can explain treatment needed as well.

    09/05/2016
    Q
    Will Suspend SC kill bark beetles that are killing my pine & cedar trees here in Colorado?
    A

    Suspend SC will not kill Bark Beetles. Bark Beetles are very hard to treat for as they get into the vein of the tree. Our best recommendation is to cut down and chip the tree. Then you can apply Permethrin SFR to uninfested trees to protect them.

  • Asked by Ron from Modesto, Ca
    07/29/2016
    Q
    Can there be resistance issues after 4 years of using Suspend SC for roach control?
    Has a resistance developed? Please recommend a different insecticide. Problem appears to be coming from the neighbors because it is always at the perimeter of the property, none in the house, but it may be approaching.
    A

    We recommend rotating between insecticides at least once a year to prevent resistance issues. Even though Suspend SC is an effective product, after 4 years of continuous use, it is possible that resistance has been developed. There is a variety of products you can rotate to, Temprid SC, Suspend Polyzone, Talstar P, and Phantom Termiticide/Insecticide, just to name a few.

    07/29/2016
    Q
    Can Suspend SC be mixed with Lambdastar 9.7% for broader coverage?
    A

    There is no valid reason to mix Suspend SC and Lambdastar 9.7% together, it would not make either product work better or produce better results, though it could make treated areas repellent to insects lessening the effectiveness of the treatment.
