The biggest difference between Demand CS and Suspend Polyzone is the residual they have outdoors. Suspend Polyzone was designed with special time release polymer coating to hold up in heat, cold, and irrigation for up to 90 days. Demand CS will last approx 30 days.
The Suspend Polyzone MSDS label recommends the following precautions when applying:
Eye/Face Protection: Tightly fitting Safety Goggles
Hand Protection: Chemical resistant nitrile rubber gloves
Body Protection: Wear long-sleeved and long pants and shoes plus socks
Respiratory Protection: When respirators are rquired, select NIOSH approved equipment based on actual or potential airborne concentrations and in accordance with the appropriate regulatory standards and/or industry recommendations.
The kill time for Suspend Polyzone varies. It is a residual product so it will not kill if sprayed directly. Suspend will kill wasps and other insects over a period of several hours after they contact treated areas. It will leave a residual that will last up to 90 days, both indoors and outdoors.
We do not recommend that you do the treatment of Suspend Polyzone, but rather have someone else spray for you just to stay on the side of caution during pregnancy. We recommend that you stay out of the treated area until it has completely dried and then it would be safe to return to.
Any edibles that have been sprayed with Suspend Polyzone are not fit for consumption and should be discarded. Also, the area that was treated can not be used for at least one growing season. If you wish to reuse the area right away, the soil must be replaced.
Any edibles that have been sprayed with Suspend Polyzone are not fit for consumption and should be discarded. If bees land in areas treated with the Suspend Polyzone, the insecticide can be toxic to them.
Yes, Suspend Polyzone can be applied using a hose end applicator. Be sure you follow the product label so that you are applying the correct amount of product per area.
Suspend Polyzone will work great on Scorpions. The Microencapsulation is stronger to give you a longer residual at a strong 3 months.
Suspend Polyzone is labeled to apply where the false powderpost beetles have been found/seen. It is not for structural protection or long term control in the wood. We recommend Boracare instead because it will penetrate the wood completely and will remain active for the life of the wood.
Suspend Polyzone is not specifically labeled for clover mites. We would suggest applying Bifen IT. Bifen IT is labeled to treat for clover mites when used accordingly. Clover mites are barely smaller than a pinhead. You may notice clover mites as dark red moving specks which occur in large numbers. They are generally found crawling aroudn doors, windows, sidings, curtains, or furniture. Be sure to treat the ground at least 5-10 feet from the structure where you are seeing the clover mites.
Suspend Polyzone is only for treating cracks and crevices inside, it cannot be used as a broadcast across floors. Tengard is an option that has the same active as Dragnet. For hard surfaces though you do not need to treat the entire floor. Treatment should be more directed to cracks and crevices on hardwood and tile floors as that is where the eggs and young would be. Please see our Flea Treatment Guide for more tips and information about treating this pest.
Once the Suspend Polyzone is dry, the residual is approximately 90 days outdoors. Rain and/or irrigation does not affect the product once it has dried, and does not become hazardous after rain.
Suspend Polyzone is toxic to bees that may come in contact with it. We recommend to apply when bees are less active to avoid harming them.
