It is best to triple rinse any equipment used to make an application of an insecticide such as Suspend SC? prior to using the sprayer for any other chemical application. Simply use warm water to rinse out the tank and spray through the wand. Repeat this 3 times prior to adding new chemical to the sprayer. You could also use a tank cleaner such as Monterey Spray Tank Cleaner.
There are no temperature restrictions for applying Suspend SC.
Yes, Suspend SC can be mixed with an IGR.
Suspend SC does have toxicity to aquatic life, so you want to be sure that runoff or drift does not enter where fish are present. We would recommend spraying when rainfall is not expected within at least 24 hours and applying at least 25 ft. from the lake. You might also consider using a product that does not have aquatic toxicity, such as EcoVia EC.
Suspend SC should not be applied as a broadcast across carpet or flooring as it is only labeled to be used as an interior crack and crevice spray. When this product is applied according to the product label it is safe for pets and people once it has had time to completely dry.
Mixed Suspend SC solution must be used or discarded within 24 hours.
Suspend SC should not stain anything that water would not stain if used according to the instructions on the product label. However, it is not recommended for use around water, as it is highly toxic to fish and other aquatic life. If you are treating near water, we would suggest using something like EcoVia or Essentria IC3 instead.

Yes, Supsend SC can be used in a backpack sprayer. The mix rate is 0.25-1.50 oz. per gallon of water depending on what you are treating for. Please refer to the product label for complete application instructions.
No, it is not recommended to use Suspend SC since it would damage the hive also. I would check with your local beekeepers for treatment advice on hive beetles since a lot of products have known resistance in certain areas.
Suspend SC should be applied on non-porous surfaces for best results. Because it is a liquid concentrate, it wouldn’t bind to a porous surface such as concrete to give you the best pest protection. A better product for that type of porous exterior surface would be Demon WP.
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.

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.
