    Q
    Is Suspend Polyzone Insecticide labeled to treat leaf cutter ants?
    A

    Suspend Polyzone Insecticide may only kill the ants that come in contact with a treated area. It is not taken back to the nest. Leaf cutter ants can be a difficult pest to get rid of. The colonies are large and the ants make their own food so poison baits only have limited effects on this species of ants. According to several university websites, Maxforce Complete Granules containing hydramethlynon are some what effective, though they will usually eliminate only about 30% of a large colony in one treatment and will need to be reapplied several times.  DeltaGard granules is one of the only products actually labeled for leaf cutter ants. The product label recommends treating the mound directly and lightly watering the granules in. Again, it may take several treatments to get the desired results. We also recommend contacting your local cooperative extension office to see if they have any recommendations for products that have worked for other people in your region.

    Q
    How fast should you move the sprayer wand when spraying Suspend Polyzone around house foundation?
    My former bug service sprayed very fast unlike all the videos I’ve look at on line, although our house didn’t seem to have any bugs here in northern Florida with his service. He applied 1/4 quart of mixed solution around our 1,900 sq. ft. house. What is the appropriate speed to apply? Don’t want to waist it by using too much, or not effective by using too little.
    A

    When applying Suspend Polyzone Insecticide it is just a light application to areas applying until wet but not dripping.  We have an outdoor perimeter spraying video that can help show how fast to apply and other tips.

    Q
    What product can I use to kill eye gnats on contact and resually
    I use a backpack sprayer. I manage a 1.5 acre portrait park.
    A
    While a product like Suspend Polyzone could potentially help reduce flying insects, unfortunately chemical applications generally have little affect on these insects. It is important to use personal insect repellents and face masks for horses and other livestock. Wound care is also critical as these insects can cause infections. You may also look at reducing organic matter such as cleaning up manure promptly and reducing loose soil matter.

    Q
    I am looking to get rid of cutter bees.
    These cutter bees have ruined my St Joseph Roses and just about every other rose bush in my back yard. How can I get rid of them? All my plants are ornaments also with the exception of two new Ponderosa Lemon Trees.
    A
    Unfortunately, insecticides really are not effective on these bees since they only cut the leaves and do not chew on them. This article has a few non-chemical suggestions to help reduce damage to desirable plants.

    Q
    Japanese beetles
    I don't see Japanese beetles explicitly on the label. I do see it on the suspend SC label and I saw a Q&A that said Japanese beetles were covered by suspend SC. Does suspend poly zone work on Japanese beetles?
    A
    Suspend Polyzone is labeled for a variety of different beetles but not Japanese beetles. It's only labeled for multi-colored Asian lady beetles. Suspend SC is labeled for Japanese beetles though.

    Q
    Does the microencapsulation in Suspend Polyzone Insecticide clog sprayers or harden inside tanks, powerspray hose lines, and filters?
    I love Fendona but it tends to harden and clog in tanks, powerspray hose lines, filters, and Dosatron systems quite badly. Does Bayer's micoencapsulation formulation offer better resistance to clumping and clogging in powersprayer systems?
    A

    Fendona CS Controlled Release Insecticide nor Suspend Polyzone Insecticide are labeled for use in delivery systems or irrigation systems which could possibly be why you are having issues with hardening, clogging and not being able to spray. If spray screens are used, they should be 50 mesh or larger.  

    When using boom sprayer equipment, backpack sprayers or even hand pump sprayers, the mixed solution needs to be used within 24 hrs as after 24 hrs, the active ingredient begins to break down and no longer stays in suspension. Agitating the sprayer occassionally is recommended to ensure an even mixture or if spraying is interrupted or if the dilution is left in the sprayer overnight.

    Q
    Can Suspend Polyzone Insecticide and Masterline be tank mixed together?
    A

    Unfortunately, since we do not carry Masterline, we are not familiar with the product label and tank mixing options therefore would not be able to advise on the compatibility with Suspend Polyzone Insecticide.

    You may contact the manufacturer of Suspend Polyzone at 1-800-331-2867. They may be able to advise if their product can be mixed with another. Thank you.

    Q
    can I use Suspend Polyzone in a sprayer that I previously used Demand CS?
    I have been using Demand CS in a B&G one gallon sprayer and want to make sure I can use Suspend Polyzone in the same B&G and is there something I need to use to clean the B&G, other than rinsing it out before using it with either of these two products? Thanks
    A

    Yes, you can use the same sprayer for multiple insecticides like Demand CS and Suspend Polyzone. You just want to make sure you are properly cleaning the sprayer after each use by triple rinsing with water or with a tank cleaner such as, Neutralize Spray Tank Cleaner.

    Q
    How does Suspend Polyzone Insecticide compare to Cy Kick CS?
    A

    Suspend Polyzone has the active ingredient Deltamethrin and Cy-Kick CS has Cyfluthrin. Suspend Polyzone offers up to 90 day residual outdoors and indoors due to the polymer that is protecting the active ingredient where as Cy-Kick still offers a 30 day residual outdoors even though it is microencapsulated.
