    Q
    How long do I have wait after spraying with Suspend SC and mopping?
    A

    Suspend SC when used as directed on the product label is only applied along baseboards and in cracks and crevices inside.  It would not be applied across entire floors where you would mop.  Only a small amount would possibly be on the floor along the edges of the room after you have sprayed and you should avoid mopping these areas as it will remove the product and the residual it leaves that keeps killing insects.

    Q
    Dose Suspend SC kill bed bugs
    A

    Suspend SC Insecticide will kill most strains of bed bugs however there are better products on the market now for bed bug treatments. There are resistant strains of bed bugs Suspend SC will not kill or affect. The most effective treatment for bed bugs would be to use Temprid FX along with an insecticide dust and contact/residual aerosol to treat all the necessary areas where bed bugs hide.

    Bed Bugs require repeat applications every 7-10 days until you can go 30 days without seeing any signs of bed bugs. Please review our Bed Bug Kits that contain professional grade products to completely treat all the necessary harborage sites. The Kits come with full instructions and have a great success rate when per the product label and applied diligently. Please view our How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs Guide for more information.

    Q
    Will Suspend SC Insecticide kill Camel Crickets?
    A
    Suspend SC Insecticide is not labeled for Camel Crickets. Talstar P would be an better option if wanting a liquid insecticide to treat the both the interior and exterior of the home. Please review the product label for application rates and more information. 

    Another good option for Camel Crickets would be using Niban Granular Bait as a perimeter band around the foundation, trees, stumps, firewood, or as a scatterbait in localized areas. This can also be used indoors in approved areas on the product label.

    Q
    Does Suspend SC work on stink bugs?
    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.

    Q
    Will Suspend SC be successful in getting rid of Rat Mites?
    A

    Suspend SC is not labeled specifically for rodent mites. The easiest method to control rodent mites that have entered your home is to physically remove them with a vacuum cleaner or wipe them up with a moist cloth. Mites are not automatically killed by a vacuum cleaner so freeze the bag to prevent the mites from crawling back out.

    Locating the source and eliminating the hosts and nests is important to prevent further problems with these mites. Nests are usually located in attics, basements, or inside walls. If necessary, trap them with kill traps or glue boards. Spray the dead rat and its nest with a disinfectant.

    Removing the mite source (dead mice, rats, and abandoned nests) is very important. Unless you remove their source, rat mites will continue to seek human host infesting your house.

    Q
    Is Suspend SC safe to use close to a lake with fish?
    A

    Suspend SC does have toxicity to aquatic life, so you want to be sure that runoff or drift does not enter where fish are present. We would recommend spraying when rainfall is not expected within at least 24 hours and applying at least 25 ft. from the lake. You might also consider using a product that does not have aquatic toxicity, such as EcoVia EC

    Suspend SC should not be applied as a broadcast across carpet or flooring as it is only labeled to be used as an interior crack and crevice spray. When this product is applied according to the product label it is safe for pets and people once it has had time to completely dry.

    Q
    Can Suspend SC be used on boat canvas?
    Will it stain canvas?
    A

    Suspend SC should not stain anything that water would not stain if used according to the instructions on the product label.  However, it is not recommended for use around water, as it is highly toxic to fish and other aquatic life.  If you are treating near water, we would suggest using something like EcoVia or Essentria IC3 instead.
