    Q
    Does Suspend get rid of rat mites?
    Does suspend get rid of Rat Mites ?
    A

    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.

    Q
    What do you recommend for dermestid beetles infesting animal mounts?
    A

     You could use Suspend SC as a crack and crevice spray in the room where they are present, but we would not recommend spraying them directly. We can tell you that many mount owners do use 565 Plus XLO or Cy-Kick aerosol to get rid of cloth moths and carrion beetles. You should choose 565 Plus XLO for a fast knockdown and CyKick Aerosol ifyou need a long lasting residual. Be sure to hold the can at least 12inches away from the mount and spray in a sweeping motion. You should also test the product you choose in a small inconspicuous area before spraying the entire mount.

    Q
    What's the best way to apply Suspend SC for ground bees?
    A

    Suspend SC is not labeled for ground bees. A better option is Tempo SC Ultra as it is more aggressive on the stinging insects. You will mix Tempo SC Ultra in a one-gallon hand pump sprayer and apply the one gallon of mixed solution over the area. (1 gallon per 1,000 sq ft). Concentrate on 2-3 square foot sections where you see most of the activity or believe where the nest is. If you are able to see the openings/holes in the ground where the nest is – adjust the nozzle of your sprayer to a pin stream and spray your insecticide mixture directly into the interior of the nest. The combination of spraying around and inside the nest will kill adult wasps and leave behind a residual to kill any hatching wasps. Retreat the nest with the insecticide every 14 days until all immature wasps have been killed. 

    The best time to treat is late afternoon/early evening when they are less active. Be armed with a can of pyrethrin aerosol, such as PT Wasp Freeze II Aerosol, to spray any wasps that emerge from the nest.

  • Asked by Assia from Boston Ma
    10/17/2019
    Q
    Can Suspend SC be used for cloth moths?
    A

    Suspend SC can help control clothing moths if it is sprayed on infested areas. The most important part of clothes moth control is finding the source and thoroughly cleaning the item(s) or disposing of the item(s) all together. Failure to do so will lead to poor results. Clothes moth eggs generally hatch out within 10 days during warmer temperatures and two weeks or longer during colder temperatures. Spraying a second time will help kill the adults but unless the larva are targeted you may continue to need additional treatments. Please take a moment to read our article How to Get Rid of Clothes Moths to learn more about this pest.

    Does Suspend SC offer a transfer kill?
    A

    Suspend SC does not offer a transfer kill. Depending on the insects you are treating you can look at a product like Taurus SC for use around the outside perimeter of your home. Another option is Phantom, which can be used indoors and outdoors.
