    Q
    Will suspend SC stain my vinyl siding if I spray the entire exterior of my home.
    We live in a heavily wooded area. Other pesticides have stained our siding in the past. If sprayed directly on the vinyl siding (I plan on spraying the entire exterior of my home) will it stain...ever...?
    A
    Suspend SC is a water based insecticide that should not stain anything that water itself would not stain. Having said that we always recommend that you test any product you choose on a small inconspicuous area to be sure staining will not occur. Sometimes old paint can be an issue when using any product.

    Q
    My Tropical plants have scale. Will Suspend SC kill scale?
    A
    Suspend SC is labeled for scale insects when they are still in the "crawler" stage. If the scale insects on your plants are past this stage or if you are not sure what stage they are in we recommend you contact your local cooperative extension office and speak to the mater gardener on staff. The master gardener can help with an accurate insect ID and also offer guidance on what will work best on the type of plant and insect you are dealing with.

    Q
    What is the best (and safest) product to get rid of centipedes?
    I live in a four-unit apartment building. There is a partially covered sump pump in the basement.
    A

    Suspend SC would be a good choice to use around the inside and outside of your home to eliminate centipedes. Suspend SC is safe for people and pets when used as directed on the product labelIndoors you can apply Suspend SC to door frames, window frames, places where utilities enter into the structure, and any other place where the insects can gain entry. Outdoors you should apply the product to door frames, window frames, places where utilities enter into the structure, around the bottom of the foundation and out onto the ground directly around the foundation. You can also limit favorable conditions that the centipedes need to thrive

    Remove Favorable Conditions

    • Fix leaky faucets or pipes and dry up wet or damp areas where centipedes thrive
    • Remove outdoor harborages near the home that hold moisture (compost, wood, or leaf piles, etc).
    • Store firewood off the ground at least 20 feet away from the home
    • Water your lawn in the morning so that it will be dry by afternoon
    • Do not over mulch flower beds, since soggy mulch is an ideal harborage for centipedes

    Q
    Can I use Suspend SC on my tomato plants and peach trees to control Japanese beetles?
    We have so many Japanese beetles this year and they are eating my flowers and my garden plants is it safe to spray Suspend s c on my tomatoes plants and peach tree's and our other foods
    A

    Suspend SC is not labeled to be sprayed on any type of edible vegetation and we do not recommend doing so. We do carry products that are labeled for Japanese beetles and can be sprayed on your tomato plants and fruit trees such as Fertilome Liquid Carbaryl Spray and Hi-Yield Indoor/Outdoor 10% Permethrin Insecticide

    06/21/2012
    Q
    Does Suspend SC work to get rid of June Bugs? Does it also work on the larvae and eggs in the lawn?
    How should it be applied?
    A
    Suspend Sc will help eliminate adult June bugs that contact treated areas. Suspend SC should be diluted with water at the listed usage rate on the product label and applied when the pests are present. Thorough coverage is required and higher volumes of water may be necessary to ensure both the top and underside of the leaves of the foliage are sprayed. Suspend SC will not work to control insect eggs or for grubs (larval form of beetles). Most insecticides will not kill insect eggs because the eggs are protected by their hard outer shell. For grub control in your lawn you can use one of our grub control granule products such as Dylox or Merit Granules.

    Q
    Will Suspend SC kill or deter Japanese Beetles on rose bushes? If so how often should it be applied?
    A
    According to the Suspend SC product label this product is labeled for Japanese beetles and will provide anti-feedant properties on treated ornamentals against Japanese beetles. We do recommend testing any pesticide you choose to use on one plant before treating all of the plants to check for damage. You do want to try to spray the leafy parts of plants while avoiding the blooms as much as possible. Applications should be repeated every 21 days to maintain control.

  • Asked by Derek from Savannah, Ga
    06/25/2012
    Q
    What's the difference between tempo sc ultra and suspend sc?
    A
    Tempo SC Ultra is formulated using the active ingredient beta-Cyfluthrin and Suspend SC is formulated using the active ingredient Deltamethrin. Both active ingredients are from the same class of insecticides known as synthetic pyrethroids and because of this both products are labeled for many of the same insects. Suspend SC does have a much broader product label and is allowed to be used in more places for more insects than the Tempo SC Ultra. Tempo SC Ultra on the other hand is known to have a bit of a faster knockdown and less chance of resistance because it has not been as widely used. Please take a moment to read over the Suspend SC product label and the Tempo SC Ultra product label to see which product would best fit your needs.

    Q
    Suspend SC & Gentrol mixed in sprayer...how do I dispose of excess.
    There were no directions. What is the safest way to dispose of excess and can I wash the sprayer out in the sink.
    A
    Leftover product can be poured out right up against the foundation of your home or structure. You should clean the sprayer outside and dump the rinse water in the same place you poured out the excess product. Product and rinse water cannot be poured down the drain.

  • Asked by Paul from Caledonia, Illinois

    Q
    Does Suspend SC kill wasps instantly and how does the residual work and for how long?
    How often should it be applied as a house perimiter? When can results be expected for wasp elimination?
    A
    Suspend SC does not provide an instant knockdown. Suspend SC will kill wasps and other insects over a period of several hours after they contact treated areas. Suspend SC will leave a residual that will last up to 4 weeks outdoors and up to 12 weeks indoors. If you can directly treat a wasp nest you can expect the colony to be eliminated within several days. If you cannot directly treat the nest you will only be able to eliminate those wasps that are landing on the treated areas and you may not be able to gain 100% control. If you are indeed treating outdoors and within 2 feet of your home you may want to consider using Termidor SC. Termidor SC is a bit different than Suspend SC in that it can be transferred back to the wasps nest and through their normal social interactions they will spread the product through the nest. This product can take a week or two to eliminate the nest and it does not offer an instant knockdown. If you prefer an instant knockdown we do carry Wasp Freeze and Wasp X.

    Q
    Can linens and clothing be washed in Suspend SC?
    A
    Suspend SC cannot be used as a washing additive. Any insect or insect egg on bedding or clothing will be killed in the normal washing/drying cycles and insecticides do not need to be added to the wash for this to happen. Adding insecticides in this way can be very dangerous for anyone using the items.

    Q
    Can we spray Suspend SC on our lawn as preventive care?
    Can we spray Suspend SC on our lawn as preventive care to any kind of pests this product could take care off. If yes, what should be the mixing ratio.
    A

    Suspend SC can be used as a broadcast spray on lawns and on ornamental plants to protect these areas from lawn/ornamental plant infesting insects and it can be used as a perimeter barrier spray to stop pests from getting into your home. Each of these applications and application rates are very different. Can you tell us specifically what type of application you are trying to complete so we can better advise you?

    Q
    How does Suspend SC compare to Talstar P?
    A
    Both the Suspend SC and the Talstar P contain synthetic pyrethroids for active ingredients and will provide very similar results. The only advantage to using Talstar P over Suspend SC is that it is known to be super gentle on most plants (do not use on edible vegetation) and is virtually odorless while Suspend Sc does have a slight odor. Both products can be used indoors and outdoors and both products are safe to use in houses with children and pets.

    Q
    Is springtime a good time to begin spraying around our cabin for fall and winter indoor fly problems?
    We've had a bad winter with cluster flies and want to improve our chances for next fall. Do we spray perimeter only or also indoors? Thanks.
    A
    You can go ahead and spray the exterior now to help stop the population from building but the actual exclusion sprays are recommended to start in August. Most of the exclusion applications are applied on the exterior of the structure though spraying inside and outside of window frames, door frames, and places where cables, pipes and wires enter in to the structure will double your chance of controlling the flies before they gather indoors.
