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.
