    Q
    Would Suspend SC be a good way to treat the furniture, bed, carpet, and hard surfaces for any of the scabies and their eggs?
    I let a friend stay at my place after he put on cream to treat his scabies. It has been about three weeks and I think he left some of his creepy critters here.
    A

    No, Suspend SC is a crack and crevice treatment only and is not labeled for scabies. Scabies mites live on/in the skin and we do not carry anything to treat humans. Most folks need to visit their doctor to receive the medication needed to get rid of scabies. You may spray your furniture with a product such as Steri-fab to kill anything on furniture, though treating the home is usually not necessary.

    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
    What would you recommend to kill ants on a brick paver patio?
    A
    Suspend SC is a great product to control ants both inside and outside your home. You would mix 1 ounce to 1 gallon of water and spray all around your foundation, window and door frames, nearby foliage of bushes and ornamentals, and any side walks, driveways or in your case pavers, where ants are present. This product dries clear and has almost no odor, and as soon as the product has dried it is safe to resume normal activity in the treated area. Let us know if you have any other questions.

    Q
    Which is better to use both inside and outside my home in the winter time, Talstar or Suspend SC?
    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. Keep in mind that you will not need to treat in winter months if you are in a cold area (temperatures consistently below 40 degrees) unless you currently have a specific pest infestation.

    Q
    After sprayer Suspend SC, how long does it take pests to die?
    We sprayed ticks directly, and they are still alive and kicking 24 hours later.
    A

    Suspend SC is a residual product so it will not kill a tick if sprayed directly. The amount of time the product takes to kill will depend on the pest in general. It could take one week or just a few days.

  • Asked by Xian from Lehigh Acres Fl

    Q
    Does Suspend SC work on roaches, and how many ounces per gallon?
    How fast does Suspend SC kill roaches, how long will it last if I spray?
    A

    Suspend SC is labeled for roaches, and should do a great job helping you eliminate the infestation. We recommend that in addition to a concentrated liquid insecticide like Suspend SC you also use a high quality roach bait gel such as Invict Roach Bait Gel to help get the roaches that hide in places where you cannot spray (cabinets, counter tops, drawers) as well as an insect growth regulator such as Gentrol Point Source to help stop the breeding cycle of the roaches. You can purchase both of these products together in our Roach Control Kit #1.

    The Suspend is a residual which means it will not be a contact kill for the roaches. It could kill a roach within a few hours or within a day depending on how healthy the roach is, and how long it spent on a surface that was treated with Suspend. The spray will typically last indoors 90 days and outdoors 30 days, but for an active infestation you would want to retreat every 30 days indoors until the colony is eliminated.

    Q
    Will Suspend SC harm my dog if he eats out of his food bowl where I had sprayed?
    I had sprayed around 5:30pm outside of our home for roaches. My husband feed our dog outside couple hrs after I had sprayed the concrete around 7:40pm. Our dog tends to knock his food out of his bowl and eat the rest off the ground. Because I had sprayed earlier and he licked the area will it make him sick?
    A

    Once Suspend SC has dried, it is safe for pets to eat in the area. This should not harm your pet because the product is dry and does not reactivate if the area gets wet again. If you notice any changes in your pet, we would recommend contacting Poison Control and/or your vet.
