    Q
    Does Suspend SC kill termites?
    I have termites, and I need to get rid of them. Will this do it?
    A
    Suspend SC like many other products will kill termites if the product comes in direct contact with the termites.  However, it will only kill the termites that do contact it, not the termites or the queen that might be below the ground or deeper in the wood.  For this reason, a product called Termidor SC is considered to the best termite product available and is the most popular product used by professional companies today. Termidor SC will kill all of the termites in the colony, not just the ones that it touches.  You still need to have the product contact a few of the termites by drilling holes into the wood and treating them directly, or by treating the soil around the structure as explained in our "How To Do A Termite Treatment" article.

    Q
    Do I need to use a respirator when applying Suspend SC?
    Hi, I purchased this product, but I am concerned. Besides covering my skin (as much as possible), do I also need to use a respirator. Instructions say "avoid breathing vapor or spray mist". It does not sound like a dust mask will suffice. Any thoughts?
    A
    In most cases, a respirator would not be needed. Typically, you would spray the Suspend SC either outdoors or indoors in ventilated areas. If you need to treat in confined, unventilated areas however a respirator would be needed. We sell the Comfo Classic Respirator on our website if you need to purchase one.

    Q
    Will this stuff kill scorpions? I heard no pesticides are good for them.
    A
    Suspend SC will kill scorpions. Many of our customers have had great success using Suspend SC for scorpions. However, our most popular product for killing scorpions is Cyper WP.  Cyper WP is a stronger product and it is a powder that mixes with water.  Powders are easier for scorpions to pick up and faster acting. We have many customer reviews on our Cyper WP page about scorpions.

    Q
    Does Suspend SC kill funnel and wolf spiders?
    We live in Charlotte, North Carolina, and we have woods behind our house and bushes in front of the house. There are more wolf spiders than funnel spiders, but they come into the garage. We do mechanical work on our cars, and we need to be on the ground sometimes.
    A
    Yes, Suspend SC can kill just about any type of spider, but generally speaking the spiders will take a long time to die. We usually recommend using Cyper WP. Cypermethrin, the active ingredient in Cyper WP, is known to be one of the most effective active ingredients for spiders and other hard to kill insects. You might also want to check out our spider control kit, which comes with all the products you need to effectively control spiders.

    Q
    Does Suspend SC work for bed bugs?
    A
    Suspend SC used to be the go to product for bed bug control. However, there have been signs that some strains of bed begs have become resistant to it since it has been used so much.  Still, bed bug control has much better success if you use a variety of products. Our bed bug kits have many products that are considered the top bed bug control products. Our kits also come with full instructions.  They have a very high success rate with our customers and your best chance of eliminating a bed bug infestation.

    Q
    After applying Suspend SC, how long should I wait to clean my floors?
    A

    Suspend SC should be applied directly into cracks, crevices, wall voids and small spot treatments. When applied as specified on the product label, cleaning your floors would have no effect on the product.

    07/05/2010
    Q
    Can Suspend SC be used to treat bagworms with a garden hose type sprayer?
    If this is not recommended, can Talstar One be used as a substitute for the same type application?
    A
    Yes. Suspend SC can be used in a hose end sprayer to treat for bagworms as long as you can properly calibrate the hose end sprayer to apply the correct amount of product per gallon of water. The Suspend SC product label recommends 8 oz of product per 100 gallons of water. Applications should start in April and continue monthly through June for bagworm control. (treatments should start around the time when the larva move out of the mother's bag and before they make their own bags) Be sure foliage is sprayed thoroughly to the point of runoff to achieve adequate coverage. While both Suspend SC and Talstar P can be used for bagworm control, Talstar is the most recommended for bagworm control because it is known to be super gentle on most plants, trees and bushes. Talstar may also be easier to measure for this use, .25 ounce per 1,000 sq ft.

    Q
    We have springtails and silverfish and have used suspend SC. Is there anything stronger?
    We used to use diazinon granules and they worked. Can we purchase it anywhere?
    A
    Unfortunately, Diazinon was banned by the EPA years ago and is no lonnger available or manufactured.  Suspend SC is one of our best sellers and is considered one of the best there is.  Springtails are very tricky to treat though.  Springtails breed from moisture areas around the house, and unless you find the source of the problem it does not matter how much you spray, they will still reproduce and continue to be a problem.  Please read our How To Get Rid of Springtails article from our website for some ideas and suggestions.

    Q
    How long can Suspend SC be stored for after mixing?
    After mixing Suspend SC, can the unused portion in the sprayer be stored for a period of time?
    A
    Most sprayer manufacturers warn against storing insecticides inside the sprayer. Storing liquids (even plain water) inside the sprayer can cause the rubber components to deteriorate quickly and make the sprayer inoperable. Only mix exactly what you can use and discard any left over solution and thoroughly rinse the sprayer after each use.

    Q
    Does Suspend SC work for tent caterpillars? They are horrible in our area.
    A
    Yes. Suspend SC is labeled for Tent Caterpillars. Directly spray the plant foliage and nest. The larvae are usually easy to contact if spraying is done in late morning when the larvae congregate on the tent surface to warm in the sun. Mechanical control is also helpful with this pest. The egg masses are easy to spot after the leaves have dropped in the fall. Simply clip off and crush or drop into a bucket of soapy water.

    Q
    Is Suspend SC safe to use on baseboards? We have a crawling toddler.
    A
    Suspend SC is one of the safest and most effective products we sell, which is why it is so popular.  You should always have children and pets vacate the room while you are applying the product.  Once the product is dry, which usually takes about 30-45 minutes, it is fine to allow children and pets back in the room.  These products are only strong enough to kill tiny insects.
