    10/13/2010
    Q
    Does Suspend SC work on carpet beetles?
    We're having an infestation in our house. If so, how often should one spray?
    A
    Yes, Suspend SC is labeled for carpet beetle control and it will eliminate carpet beetles that come into contact with treated areas. It is very important that the source of the infestation (where the damaging larva is harboring) is discovered and eliminated, not just the visible adult insects you see wandering around. Until you find out what that is and deal with it you will continue to get more of the carpet beetles emerging from hiding. Carpet beetles may be as likely to feed on grain based food materials as they are on animal byproducts. Pet foods stored in forgotten places, baking goods left too long in the cupboard, rodent baits tossed in the attic - all of these are quite susceptible to carpet beetle feeding. Plus, you also have the typical carpet beetle diets of dead insects (wasp nests in the attic, dead insects in window sills), feathers (bird nests, dead birds), hair (dead rodents, wool products, trophy mounts), and other things made from animal byproducts. Once the source of the infestation is removed or cleaned, using Suspend SC will help get rid of the annoying adult beetles. You can spray once a month until all of the beetles are gone.

    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
    I have Brown Recluse Spiders: What is the best treatment?
    Can I mix Zenprox ec and Suspend Polyzone for a quick action then long term treatment?
    A

    There would be no need to mix Zenprox with Suspend. That would be a waste of product. Suspend SC would be the best option for Brown Recluse Spider control. Suspend SC leaves a clear residual on surfaces that keeps on killing pests for up to 3 months.

    Q
    Can Suspend SC be used on an area that will be used as a vegetable garden in the future?
    I have some summer squash here in Arizona that have not produced at all - and when I dug them up found the roots crawling with ants that bite! I want revenge! Is it safe to spray the area with Suspend to kill the little buggers and later use the area for vegetables?
    A
    You can spray the area with Suspend but you must wait at least 90 days before using the area for an edible garden.

  • Asked by Randi
    05/26/2010
    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
    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?

  • Asked by John from United States
    09/29/2014
    Q
    I need an effective inside spider eliminator that is safe to use around children.
    A
    We would recommend using Suspend SC. It is a very good residual product that can be sprayed indoors and outdoors. Indoors, you will spray along the baseboards and cracks and crevices. Outdoors, you can spray around the perimeter of your home and in places where the spiders would reside. Once the product is dry, it is safe for your children to return to the room. It also dries clear.

  • Asked by Dan from Swanton Ohio
    06/25/2015
    Q
    How does Suspend compare to Bifen / Talstar for mosquitos. Is there a longer residual with Suspend?
    A
    The outdoor residual effects of Suspend SC, Bifen IT, and Talstar P are all 30 days outdoors. However, if you would like a longer outdoor residual then Suspend Polyzone would be ideal for your mosquito control needs. Suspend Polyzone has a 90 day residual outdoors utilizing the same active ingredient as the regular Suspend SC but the added polymer allows the insecticide to adhere to surfaces better and resist the elements of weather.

  • Asked by Kenny
    09/05/2010
    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
    How much of Suspend and Gentrol do I mix together to get best results for bedbugs?
    I read that you can mix gentrol with a gallon of water per ounce or a gallon of pesticide. But a gallon of suspend is like 300 bucks. What do i do? I need to get rid of these suckers but they drained my bank account already.
    A
    You will mix 1 fl oz of Suspend and 1 fl oz of Gentrol together in 1 gallon of water for bedbug applications. Suspend and Gentrol are both concentrates.

  • Asked by Vincent from Chicago,il

    Q
    I used Suspend SC in my new home 3-weeks ago. I have wiped down the house 3-times before I bring the kids & dog
    home I clean with just water to make sure that the little balls want be on the kids or pets how mant times should I clean with water to make sure that what flowed is not still suspended in the home
    A
    When using Suspend SC as directed on the product label you would apply only to cracks, crevices, voids and other inaccessible areas. If you followed the product label it is not necessary to wipe down anything. The kids and pets simply need to stay out of the area until it has dried and then they can safely return. The only time you would need to wipe anything off would be if you over sprayed onto areas not listed on the product label. If that was the case you would need to wash the area down with soap and water to remove any insecticide.

    Q
    After the application of Suspend, if I vacuum that area, will the product still be effective?
    Will the product remain on the carpet after vacuuming?
    A
    Suspend SC is really labeled to be applied to cracks and crevices not as a broadcast over carpet. If you were to vacuum a treated area after it has dried it would not take the product up.

    Q
    Is it okay to spray Suspend SC during a rainy week?
    I have my Suspend SC and would like to spray but it will be raining all week. Is it ok to spray while it is raining? Do I have to wait until it is dry to apply?
    A
    Suspend SC needs to be applied when it is dry condition and will be dry for at least 6 hours after you spray. Typically after 6 hours of dry time the product will be considered "rain fast". With heavy rain conditions you may have to reapply as early as 21 days after initial spray rather than the normal 30 to 60 you can sometimes get with this product.
