Do you have something that works
The Suspend SC is one of our best products for roach control, however you cannot eliminate a roach infestation with just a spray. We always recommend using an IGR like Gentrol or NyGuard to mix in with whatever insecticide you use. An IGR is birth control for the roaches to keep them from reproducing faster than you can kill them and is a pertinent part of a roach control program. Also, other than spraying once a month until the infestation is gone, we recommend using a bait gel in the cabinets of kitchens and bathrooms and areas where a spray would not be the best treatment option for that area. The bait gel, like our Maxforce FC Magnum, is something the roaches feed on and take back to the colony that you don't see to spread it around and eliminate it at its source. It can take several months to completely get rid of a roach problem, especially if you are in an apartment setting where your home may not be the source of the problem. Also spraying the Suspend too strong, or too often can make your problem worse as it is a residual product, not a contact kill. Please review our article on How To Get Rid of Roaches for more insight on how to properly rid your home of this pest. You could consider swapping to an insecticide like Phantom if you feel the Suspend is not working for you, or try one of our Roach Control Kits. Please let us know if you have any questions.
