Suspend SC is labeled for treating ticks outdoors. You should mix 1.5 fluid ounces per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft. We recommend adding an insect growth regulator (IGR) such as Pivot 10 to impede the insects reproductive cycle.

If your pet eats insects that were killed by Suspend SC, there is only enough product for it to kill the insect in touches so there is a reduced risk for your pet. They will have to consume quite a few to be affected by the dead pests.
If you pet does show any signs of illness, we would recommend that you contact a veterinarian.
Yes, Suspend SC will kill bird mites only in poultry houses, it cannot be used in the home for treatment. Suspend SC should NOT be applied to the chickens, dogs or humans for the treatment of bird mites. Bird mites are very difficult to treat and control so in addition to just spraying you also need to vacuum regularly and thoroughly. Also the use of some other key products in addition to Suspend SC will help treat the mites faster. Please read our "How to Get Rid of Bird Mites" article for further recommendations.

It is possible that certain strains of bugs could build up a resistance to certain products. Alternating products would be a good idea. We would recommend using Suspend SC. It works the same way as Talstar P, but it has a different active ingredient. It can be used indoors and outdoors. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
We would recommend using Cyper WP. This can be sprayed around the baseboards and cracks and crevices indoors. Outdoors, you will spray around the perimeter of your home. You will use two scoops per gallon of water. This is residual product and will work for up to 3 months indoors and 30 days outdoors. It can leave a powdery residue because it is a wettable powder. Once Cyper WP is dry, it is safe for pets and children to come into the rooms that were sprayed.
