    Q
    Does Suspend SC kill termites?
    A
    Suspend SC will kill a termite if you physically spray the Suspend SC onto a termite.  However, it is not considered a termite treatment product.  Termites eat wood from the inside out, so they are not out in the open to treat.  Also, termites do not crawl on top of the ground like other insects, they enter the home from under the ground.  So just by spraying around your home on top of the ground and on your home, will not protect it against termites.  For proper termite protection, we recommend doing a termite treatment with Dominion 2L.  You should also read our "How to Do a Termite Treatment" article.

    Q
    Is Suspend SC safe for a home with infant and pets?
    An exterminator is going to use this product in my home, and I am concerned about safety for my 5 month old son, dog and two cats.
    A
    Yes, Suspend SC is safe once it is dry for children and pets. We would not recommend spraying when they are in the room. Once the product dries, it is safe for the children and pets to return to the room. It is colorless and virtually odorless so it will not be detable by them. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

  • Asked by Vicki
    06/29/2011
    Q
    When should I apply Suspend SC? When there is rain in the forecast?
    I want to spray for earwigs outside but the weather forecast is predicting rain for the next two days, then 1 dry day, and then another two days of rain. The earwigs come into the house more frequently when it's wet outside so I really want to spray but if the rain washes it all away is this a waste of time? Is there a recommended rule of thumb as to when to spray and when not to spray?
    A
    The rule of thumb when applying insecticides outdoors: You need 24 hours before and after the application with no rain. You could probably get away with just having 24 hours after spraying as long as the surface you are spraying is dry at the time of the application. If the area is still wet, Suspend SC will not be able to adhere to the surface and will wash away. If it rains right after the application, you will again have a situation where the product could be washed away.

    Q
    How often should I use Suspend SC around my house perimeter?
    I just used it around my perimeter and inside my basement. I had a lot of wolf spiders. How many times should I apply it or how often should I apply it?
    A
    Suspend SC can be applied once a month outdoors and every 3 months indoors. Use the higher concentration (1 ounce per gallon of water) outdoors for residual control.

  • Asked by Manuel
    09/20/2009
    Q
    Has anyone used Suspend SC to control stinkbugs?
    These pests are a big problem in Pennsylvania and the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. Also, spreading to Maryland and the D.C. area.
    A

    Suspend SC is a very popular product for stink bugs and widely used by our customers.  The key to stink bug control is to treat in the fall when the stink bugs normally look for entry into a home.  Even more important is to make sure there are no cracks around windows or under doors.  You should seal all cracks and holes with caulk or other suitable material to prevent entry from stink bugs and other pests during the fall and winter.

    Is it acceptable to spray under the oven and frig. w/o moving them to access the cracks and crevices?

    If you are unable to access the cracks and crevices behind appliances, using the wand on your hand pump sprayer, reach as far under the appliance as you can to apply the solution to the cracks and crevices and in between the appliances.

  • Asked by Xian from Lehigh Acres Fl
    07/23/2013
    Q
    Does Suspend SC work on roaches, and how many ounces per gallon?
    How fast does Suspend SC kill roaches, how long will it last if I spray?
    A

    Suspend SC is labeled for roaches, and should do a great job helping you eliminate the infestation. We recommend that in addition to a concentrated liquid insecticide like Suspend SC you also use a high quality roach bait gel such as Invict Roach Bait Gel to help get the roaches that hide in places where you cannot spray (cabinets, counter tops, drawers) as well as an insect growth regulator such as Gentrol Point Source to help stop the breeding cycle of the roaches. You can purchase both of these products together in our Roach Control Kit #1.

    The Suspend is a residual which means it will not be a contact kill for the roaches. It could kill a roach within a few hours or within a day depending on how healthy the roach is, and how long it spent on a surface that was treated with Suspend. The spray will typically last indoors 90 days and outdoors 30 days, but for an active infestation you would want to retreat every 30 days indoors until the colony is eliminated.

  • Asked by Kalee from Huntingdon, Tennessee

    Q
    Will Suspend SC harm my dogs? What about birds, snakes, or lizards?
    Some of them eat bugs and I don't want one to die from it.
    A

    Suspend SC will not harm animals as long as it is used as directed.  You will need to keep pets out of the area while you are applying the product and until it has dried completely.  You may notice a reduction in the population of birds, snakes, and lizards over time, since Suspend SC will be killing the insects that are their food source, which will cause them to leave the area in order to find food elsewhere.

  • Asked by Ron from Toano, Va
    05/25/2015
    Q
    How long does Suspend SC typically take to kill?
    I have been having a huge Wasp and Carpenter Bee problem this year. My children are too scared to step outside. They cover the bushes out front. My wife and I have counted at least 2 dozen or more at any given time. I have sprayed a 1oz to 1gal mix of Suspend SC to the bushes they congrigate on. I used about 1.5 gallons of mix onto all the bushes. I assume the pole they collect will be taken back to the nest(s) and will infect the queens, eggs, etc. What is typical time to take effect for Flying Insects such as Wasps, Bumble Bees, Carpenter Bees, etc. How long after treatment should I expect to see a reduction in the number of these insects. Also assuming proper exposure to the treated area, what is the typical time for Spiders, etc. to die?
    A
    The amount of time it takes Suspend SC to kill will depend on how bad the infestation is. It could generally take 1-2 weeks. The rate that was used of Suspend SC per gallon of water is fine. It is a residual so it does need time for it to work. This treatment can be done every 21 days outdoors.

  • Asked by Brooke from Anderson, In
    06/06/2016
    Q
    Will Suspend SC work to get rid of bees and wasps around my back patio?
    Also, do I just spray it on the cement? Can I spray it up under the overhang of house?
    A

    Suspend SC is a great option for bees and wasps. It is labeled for both. You will spray around the perimeter of your home, in the eaves, etc. where the pests would be. The mixing ratio is 0.75 fl. oz. per gallon of water. This product should not be sprayed on the concrete. Yes, you can spray the overhang of your house. Be sure to wear protective goggles when spraying above your head. For an instant kill of flying stinging insects, you may also want to consider a knockdown spray such as Wasp Freeze.

  • Asked by Christina from Del Rio Tx

    Q
    Does Suspend SC work well in killing scorpions?
    A
    Suspend is a good product for scorpions, however there are products that will yield faster results. 

    Our most popular product for Arizona residents is definitely our Demon WP.  Suspend SC and many other products are also good, but not as strong as Demon.  Since Demon WP is a powder that is mixed with water, it is easier for scorpions to pick up on their body and faster acting.  Demon WP packs a punch which is what you need for the Arizona scorpions, spiders, and other insects.  It is very effective, yet very safe around children and pets at the same time.  It is a general use product that is labeled for all insects and is a great all around use product.  You should re-apply the product every 30 to 60 days for best results. 

     

    Here is a link to the Demon WP:

  • Asked by Carla from Trenton, Il.

    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.
