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.
Yes, Suspend SC is great for treating spiders and their food source (which naturally drives them away from the area). This product would not prevent spiders from forming webs as they have to come in contact with the treated area in order for it to kill them. To actually prevent spider webs it would be better to use a product like Web Out.
Suspend SC should only be applied to the lawn areas, bushes, trees, shrubs around the pool area and not to any concrete where it could run off into the pool.
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.
Suspend SC is an insecticide only and will not affect mice. You can find mouse control products here.

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.
