    Q
    Can you mix Suspend SC and Gentrol IGR together for bed bugs?
    A

    Gentrol IGR and Suspend SC can be mixed together and are both labeled for bed bugs. The Gentrol IGR is the only birth control that has been shown to work on bed bugs, however it is not 100% guaranteed to work every single time in every home.  We would recommend reading over our guide on "How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs" for the best advice on effectively eliminating them.

    Q
    Is it okay to spray Suspend SC during a rainy week?
    I have my Suspend SC and would like to spray but it will be raining all week. Is it ok to spray while it is raining? Do I have to wait until it is dry to apply?
    A
    Suspend SC needs to be applied when it is dry condition and will be dry for at least 6 hours after you spray. Typically after 6 hours of dry time the product will be considered "rain fast". With heavy rain conditions you may have to reapply as early as 21 days after initial spray rather than the normal 30 to 60 you can sometimes get with this product.

    06/20/2018
    Q
    Can Tempo SC Ultra and Suspend SC be mixed?
    A

    Since both products contain synthetic pyrethroids there is no valid reason to mix Suspend SC and Tempo together, it would not make either product work better or produce better results, though it could make treated areas repellent to insects lessening the effectiveness of the treatment.

  • Asked by Jacki from Three Rivers, Mi
    04/02/2018
    Q
    How does Suspend compare with Talstar P?
    A

    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.

  • Asked by Jonathan from San Jose, Ca
    10/01/2013
    Q
    After applying suspend sc for fleas indoor, when do you know it's safe to return?
    I know it's safe once it has dry. But when it drys how can u tell it's very sure that we won't get bitten by fleas? Does suspend sc kill in contact or do I have to keep treating it in order to fully work?
    A
    Suspend SC is safe for pets and people once dry, you are correct. Flea infestations are never an overnight fix. Though each flea infestation is different - they all will require at least two treatments to start to see true results. You will want to do a follow-up treatment two weeks after your first treatment. If your infestation is more severe, you may even have to do a third treatment two weeks after that. Be persistant and patient. Vacuum frequently and always empty your vacuum each time outside of your home. For more tips please read and watch the How To Get Rid Of Fleas In Your House video on the bottom of this page.

    Q
    Can you spray Suspend SC on electrical circuits?
    A
    Spraying Suspend or any liquid in electrical wiring of any sort is not recommended. This would be an extreme shock hazard and damage your equipment and wiring. We recommend applying dust in those areas. Depending on what you are treating for you could use a dust like Delta Dust.

    03/31/2011
    Q
    Is it recommended to spray Suspend when it is dry outside or can you use the product in the light rain?
    A
    You should only spray when it is not raining. In order for the product to work properly the product needs to have time to dry on the sprayed surface. If it is sprayed onto a wet surface it cannot adhere and may simply be washed away.

    Q
    Will Suspend SC work to kill carpet beetle larvae and eggs?
    It's been 6 months since I seen a carpet beetle in my home since spraying with Suspend. I sprayed outside and spot treated indoor. I also dusted DE around baseboards lately because I still see the beetle larvae once in a while on walls/baseboards. What do you recommend? Should I spray the Suspend on all baseboards in home? I also vacuum twice a week and launder everything in closets every 6 months.
    A

    Suspend SC should be applied to cracks and crevices where the larvae hide and can be done every 21 days.  Suspend will not kill eggs.  We have  great information here at the bottom of the page that can explain treatment needed as well.

    Suspend SC interrupts the nervous system of the insect which makes all of the nerves hyperactive and ends in death. Insects must touch treated areas to be effected.

  • Asked by Fred from Pa

    Q
    I ordered Precor and Suspend for a bad flea infestation, how would you treat? We have kids
    I was thinking wetting all floors down and all baseboards, cat bedding, etc. with Suspend SC and Precor IGR. Do I combine the two and wet all floors? What are your thoughts? We are in the process of sanding wood floors so staining isn't an issue. I know the cracks are filled with eggs
    A
    Suspend SC and Precor IGR can be mixed together in the same sprayer so you do not have to treat twice. You will need to vacuum all areas prior to treatment. This includes all the carpet, upholstered furniture, baseboards and other indoor areas that are frequented by pets. Discard the bag when done. Pet bedding should be clean and replaced. You will spray Suspend SC and Precor IGR in areas where the fleas have been found. You will vaccum daily for 14 days and do a second treatment with Suspend SC. It is possible that another treatment will need to be done after the two initial treatments so you will use the Precor IGR if a third treatment is needed.

    Q
    Does Suspend SC prevent Dirt Dauber from building nest?
    A

    Suspend SC can be used to help deter mud (dirt) daubers from nesting on treated surfaces when used as directed on the product label.  It will also help to kill any that land on a treated surface long enough to receive a lethal dose.

    Q
    Can Suspend SC be used on furniture where people, dogs, & children sit and/or lay?
    I have 4 dogs living inside my home & a 2 yr old grandchild who is here frequently. My daughter brought a puppy in who gave my dogs mange. I read online that your product is good to spray on my couches, chairs, etc. & let dry. Is it safe for my pets & grandchild to do so?
    A
    Suspend SC is not labeled for any type of mange mites and may not give you with the results you are looking for, nor is is labeled for use on furniture where people would sit.  In fact, for the few mites Suspend SC is labeled for the product label makes a point to tell you that it is for suppression only.  In almost all mange infestations, you should treat the infected animal with products given to you by your veterinarian.  All of the animals bedding should be washed with Borax (read the product label and be sure it is labeled for use on laundry) and dried or discarded all together to avoid re-infestation.  If the animal has been sleeping or resting on your couch or other furniture, you should thoroughly vacuum and perhaps even steam clean the furniture.  Some people find relief by using diatomaceous earth under and around furniture, under furniture cushions and in the tucks, seams, folds, cracks and crevices of the furniture.

  • Asked by Steven from Queens , Ny
    11/16/2017
    Q
    Will Suspend SC discolor wood floors?
    I have used Suspend for a very long time and never had an issue. One of my clients claims that I discolored her wood floors. Can this chemical actually discolor the wood floors?
    A

    Suspend SC is a water-based insecticide for which we do not typically hear complaints about any sort of staining or visible residue if the product has been diluted and applied properly. There are many factors that could cause finish to change on flooring. We would recommend contacting the manufacturer, Bayer, for more information about this concern. You can reach them at 800-331-2867.
