    Q
    Can Suspend SC be used on furniture where people, dogs, & children sit and/or lay?
    I have 4 dogs living inside my home & a 2 yr old grandchild who is here frequently. My daughter brought a puppy in who gave my dogs mange. I read online that your product is good to spray on my couches, chairs, etc. & let dry. Is it safe for my pets & grandchild to do so?
    A
    Suspend SC is not labeled for any type of mange mites and may not give you with the results you are looking for, nor is is labeled for use on furniture where people would sit.  In fact, for the few mites Suspend SC is labeled for the product label makes a point to tell you that it is for suppression only.  In almost all mange infestations, you should treat the infected animal with products given to you by your veterinarian.  All of the animals bedding should be washed with Borax (read the product label and be sure it is labeled for use on laundry) and dried or discarded all together to avoid re-infestation.  If the animal has been sleeping or resting on your couch or other furniture, you should thoroughly vacuum and perhaps even steam clean the furniture.  Some people find relief by using diatomaceous earth under and around furniture, under furniture cushions and in the tucks, seams, folds, cracks and crevices of the furniture.

    Q
    I accidentally sprayed Suspend SC on my cucumbers and summer squash plants. Can they be saved? I was trying to get rid of a cucumber beetle infestation.
    A
    Unfortunately, any cucumbers that have been sprayed with Suspend SC must be discarded. We do carry several products that can be used on edible vegetation. Fertilome Liquid Carbaryl Spray is one product that we carry and it is labeled for use on cucumbers for cucumber beetles.

    Q
    How often should I use Suspend SC outside?
    Also, how often can i use Termidor outside.
    A
    All insecticides have different times they will last outside which is mainly dependant on where you live, climate, how hot or how much rain you have, etc.   Suspend typically will last for 60 days but can be applied more often or less often depending on where you live.  Termidor is typically applied every 3 to 4 months around the perimeter for best results.

    Q
    On a "true" log home what is best in the treatment of cluster flies...Suspend SC or Cypermethrin?
    The home is in northern NH. I think I should spray all the logs real soon as cooler nights are around the corner. I try to keep up with caulking around the doors and windows as well as between the logs. Any other suggestions?
    A
    Suspend SC is considered to be better for outdoors than cypermethrin because it will last much longer than cypermethrin does outdoors.  Cypermethrin does have a stronger initial knockdown, but will break down much quicker in UV light and heat than Suspend.  Typically Cypermethrin will only give about 30 days of protection whereas Suspend SC can give 60 to 90 days before needing to be re-applied.

    Q
    Approximately how long will it take to kill spiders with Suspend SC?
    I sprayed it directly on 2 hobo spiders and they seem unaffected by it
    A
    While Suspend SC offers a long lasting residual to keep killing insects even after it has dried it is not an immediate knockdown product. Suspend SC will take a few hours to kill spiders even if they are sprayed directly with the product. If you need something with an immediate knockdown you will need to use an aerosol pyrethrin spray such as 565 Plus XLO or Microcare.

    Q
    Will Suspend SC kill German roaches?
    A
    Suspend SC is labeled for roaches, including German roaches, and should do a great job helping you eliminate the infestation. We recommend that in addition to a concentrated liquid insecticide like Suspend SC you also use a high quality roach bait gel such as Advion roach Bait Gel to help get the roaches that hide in places where you cannot spray (cabinets, counter tops, drawers) as well as an insect growth regulator such as Gentrol Point Source to help stop the breeding cycle of the roaches. You can purchase both of these products together in our Roach Control Kit #1.

    Q
    Can Suspend SC be used to destroy or control clothes 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.

    Q
    Tiny black bugs in crevices and corners of carpet. Don't go into kitchen or anywhere else.
    They are so small that they almost look like mold but I have dug up a couple and they are hard shelled, tiny bugs. They like moisture because when I shampooed the carpet, they got worse. When I steamed the carpet, they got worse. I can't stand it, please help! will this work?
    A
    Unfortunately without seeing the insect we have no way to identify it. We recommend you either call a professional pest control company and have them come out and do a free inspection (most companies offer a free inspection/identification) or take samples of the insect to your local cooperative extension office to have the insects identified. Once you have the insects identified we can help you select the products you will need to eliminate them.

    Q
    Can Suspend SC be used in my truck to kill spiders that have nested? How safe is it for such a small area?
    A
    Suspend SC is actually labeled for use in trucks but the label most likely intends it to be used in commercial trucks and only in the cargo areas of these trucks. We recommend that you use a product such as D-Force Aerosol. D-Force is actually labeled for use on the interior of buses and recreational vehicles and it is labeled for spiders. Be sure to keep treatments to cracks and crevices only and vent the vehicle for about an hour before re-entry.

    Q
    Can Suspend SC be used on my dock to control spiders?
    I am concerned about spraying the dock on the overspray getting into the lake. Will Suspend SC hurt the fish and wildlife in the lake? Is this the best product to use around the house and the dock?
    A
    Suspend SC is toxic to aquatic life and care should be taken to make sure it does not get into the water. We do carry Essentria IC3 which can be safely used around water as it not toxic to fish or other aquatic animals. Essentria IC3 is labeled for spiders as well as many other insects and would be a good choice for you.
