    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
    Are Gentrol and Suspend SC the proper treatment to kill bed bugs?
    if so what is the mixture ratio? Help!!
    A

    We do not usually recommend Suspend for bedbug treatments because of the risk of resistance. Please take a look at our bedbug kits to see the products we recommend for bedbug treatments: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/bed-bug-kits-c-39_97.html

    You will notice that there are several product formulations in each kit and this is to guard against resistance issues.

    Q
    Will Suspend SC also kill termites?
    A
    You can use Suspend for localized control of an active infestation. Suspend should not be used to control future infestations. For this purpose we recommend Termidor SC. Here is a great article that explains how to put down a liquid barrier treatment: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/how-to-perform-termite-treatment-a-87.html

    Q
    How often do you spray for roaches,once a week or more?

    To treat for roaches we recommend spraying once every 21 days with suspend and also using a roach bait like Maxforce FC magnum. Apply the bait once a week. You want to bait high and spray low. Bait around counter tops, appliances, cabinets, bathrooms, etc. Please view our article on roach treatment.

    Q
    I have a home with 2 cats and they have fleas
    Even though I use flea drops monthly since March. Have fogged with HotShot twice. Started using Suspend 1 1/2 weeks ago, sprayed the whole house (no carpets in home) the basement, attic, main living area and continue to spray every other day. I have been using flea shampoo and the flea spray product Petcor once a week, still I have fleas. HELP!! The fleas are less but not gone. The cats are being kept inside for a month now. I don't know what else to do
    A

    The main thing to know when dealing with fleas is that there is no overnight fix for them, it can take multiple applications to completely eliminate them sometimes 2-3 treatments or more.  You also want to make sure that you are following the instructions on the product labels that you are using.  Suspend SC is not labeled to be used anymore often than once every 21 days.   Per the product label for indoor applications, you should also only apply as a coarse, low pressure crack and crevice spot treatment to problem areas and infested habitats. Do not treat entire floor, carpet or floor coverings. Do not apply as a space spray. Application to furniture should be restricted to areas where prolonged contact by humans will not occur. Care should be taken to limit spot treatment to pet beds and infested floor coverings.  Suspend SC would not be a good choice for indoor flea control because it can not be used over carpeted areas, it must be kept to cracks and crevices only.

    For indoors, we would highly recommend our Indoor Flea Kit.  It is our most popular product for indoor flea control and is usually the final treatment that people end up using that works when they have tried everything else.

    Q
    How would you apply Suspend SC outdoors for mosquitoes and no-see-um gnats?
    A
    For mosquitoes, no-see-ums and other insects, you would mix the Suspend SC at the rate of .25-1.5 ounces per gallon of water and lightly spray the areas where they would harbor such as bushes, ornamentals and trees nearby. You can spray around window and door frames of the home to help keep the population from entering, and you can spray once every 30 days for continuous control over the pests. In conjunction try to limit the amount of water sources around your home that they can use to breed in. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    A
    Suspend would be the best option. You can apply this indoors and outdoors. It is safe to spray around the perimeter of the building 2-3 feet up and out as well as any crawlspace. Suspend SC leaves no visible residue, has virtually no odor, and won't clog spray equipment.

    Q
    Will this Product kill odorous Ants?
    Is this product good to kill Small house hold ants. I purchased some and I have noticed it Kills some ants but the small I think they are Called odorous Ants it doesn't seem to be working on them?
    A
    Suspend SC will kill odorous house ants that come into direct contact with treated areas. Suspend SC will not spread from ant to ant or go back to the nest to eradicate the colony which means you could have a constant influx of ants unless you find the nest and treat it directly or use a product that will be carrier back to the nest. Phantom Aerosol would be a good choice for ant control indoors. Phantom is a non-repellent insecticide that has a delayed reaction which allows ants time to get back to the colony and spread the product. In essence, the ants will not be able to tell that the product is in place and they will pick it up on the fine hairs all over their body and inadvertently carry it back to the colony where over a course of a few days it will knock out the entire colony. Phantom works really well because you don't have to worry about whether the ants will all take the bait, they just need to walk over the treated areas. Phantom should be applied around baseboards, door frames, window frames and places where utilities (cables, pipes and wires) enter through the wall as these are the most likely places for the ants to enter/exit.

    Q
    How would I go about preparing my rooms for indoor spraying of Suspend SC?
    Can clothes and shoes be kept in the room? So long as they aren't beig directly sprayed? (For example, can I put them in the middle of the room until the Suspend dried, or should I take them out entirely??) Also, I have a Boston Terrier, is suspend sc safe for her? If so, how long does she have to be away from the area I order not to get harmed? If she does get harmed, what symptoms can I look out for to get her Vetrenatian care as soon as possible?

    Suspend SC is safe for humans and animals to be around after the treated area has dried. This normally takes approx. 1-2 hours. As long as your belongings are not directly sprayed Suspend will pose no harm. Please be sure to follow the product label application instructions.

    Q
    What would you recommend to kill ants on a brick paver patio?
    A
    Suspend SC is a great product to control ants both inside and outside your home.

This product dries clear and has almost no odor, and as soon as the product has dried it is safe to resume normal activity in the treated area. Let us know if you have any other questions.
