What is the difference between using Cyzmic and Suspend?

I contacted you guys about using a pesticide for indoor and outdoor use. It is a new construction home and we already have problems with roaches, spiders, wasps, mosquitos because I live next to the woods and lake. I was advised to buy Cyzmic but it looks like Suspend Polyzone would also be a good option. Please advise! I live on 1.3 acre and want to treat my lawn as well as indoors.

Answer:

Cyzmic CS Micro-encapsulated Insecticide and Suspend Polyzone are comparable in terms of how long they can last on outside surfaces, up to 90 days and are labeled for the same pests.  The differences is in the active ingredient and the formulation.  Cyzmic is micro-encapsulated which means each drop of active is encased in a small capsule that insects contact and pick on and they rupture to get a direct hit of the active.  Polyzone contains a polymer that helps it stick to surfaces better for the longer residual.  Either would be good to use, but CS products tend to work better on harder to kill insects such as scorpions and spiders since they actually pick it up and get the hit of active.
