    Q
    Can I use Suspend SC for spiders? Will it prevent them from building webs?
    A

    Yes, Suspend SC is great for treating spiders and their food source (which naturally drives them away from the area). This product would not prevent spiders from forming webs as they have to come in contact with the treated area in order for it to kill them. To actually prevent spider webs it would be better to use a product like Web Out.

    Q
    Will the Suspend SC wipe out the fleas in my garage?
    I took in a mama cat and her 5 kittens a couple months ago. Well the kittens all have new homes and mama is back outside but our garage is now home to a ton of fleas. I bought PT Ultracide and used the entire can on our garage yesterday. So this morning I went out to check and got absolutely blitzed by fleas. I had 15-20 of them on me in the less than a minute that I was out there. I was really hoping that they would be dead by now but a least they all appeared to be jittery. So I think that they are on their way out. Just thought that it would work a bit faster. I bought the Ultracide after two applications of TalstarP. But that stuff has been in my garage for 4-5 years and I have doubts that it's any good after that many summers and winters. I have Suspend SC and precor in my cart. If I still have fleas in a week or two, will those two wipe out the rest or should I get more Ultracide?
    A

    The main thing to know when dealing with fleas is that there is no overnight fix for them, it can take multiple applications to completely eliminate them sometimes 2-3 treatments or more.  You also want to make sure that you are following the instructions on the product labels that you are using.  Suspend SC? is not labeled to be used anymore often than once every 21 days.   Per the product label for indoor applications, you should also only apply as a coarse, low pressure crack and crevice spot treatment to problem areas and infested habitats. Do not treat entire floor, carpet or floor coverings. Do not apply as a space spray. Application to furniture should be restricted to areas where prolonged contact by humans will not occur. Care should be taken to limit spot treatment to pet beds and infested floor coverings. Suspend SC would not be a good choice for indoor flea control because it can not be used over cracks and crevices only. For indoors, we would highly recommend our Indoor Flea Kit.  It is our most popular product for indoor flea control and is usually the final treatment that people end up using that works when they have tried everything else.

  • Asked by Paul from Caledonia, Illinois

    Q
    Does Suspend SC kill wasps instantly and how does the residual work and for how long?
    How often should it be applied as a house perimiter? When can results be expected for wasp elimination?
    A
    Suspend SC does not provide an instant knockdown. Suspend SC will kill wasps and other insects over a period of several hours after they contact treated areas. Suspend SC will leave a residual that will last up to 4 weeks outdoors and up to 12 weeks indoors. If you can directly treat a wasp nest you can expect the colony to be eliminated within several days. If you cannot directly treat the nest you will only be able to eliminate those wasps that are landing on the treated areas and you may not be able to gain 100% control. If you are indeed treating outdoors and within 2 feet of your home you may want to consider using Termidor SC. Termidor SC is a bit different than Suspend SC in that it can be transferred back to the wasps nest and through their normal social interactions they will spread the product through the nest. This product can take a week or two to eliminate the nest and it does not offer an instant knockdown. If you prefer an instant knockdown we do carry Wasp Freeze and Wasp X.

    Q
    What do you recommend for dermestid beetles infesting animal mounts?
    A

     You could use Suspend SC as a crack and crevice spray in the room where they are present, but we would not recommend spraying them directly. We can tell you that many mount owners do use 565 Plus XLO or Cy-Kick aerosol to get rid of cloth moths and carrion beetles. You should choose 565 Plus XLO for a fast knockdown and CyKick Aerosol ifyou need a long lasting residual. Be sure to hold the can at least 12inches away from the mount and spray in a sweeping motion. You should also test the product you choose in a small inconspicuous area before spraying the entire mount.

    Q
    Can Suspend SC be applied unfinished basement ceiling where you see all the wood beams?
    Can Suspend SC be applied unfinished basement ceiling where you see all the wood beams? If not, what product can I use for to prevent pests as well as for the termites.
    A
    Suspend SC may be applied indoors to baseboards, cracks, and crevices for general pest control. For wood-destroying insects such as termites, carpenter ants, powder post beetles, etc, we would recommend using Bora-Care on your untreated, raw wood. Bora-Care will penetrate up to 4 inches into the wood and last the lifetime of the wood. Please be sure to review the product label for complete application instructions.

    Q
    My Tropical plants have scale. Will Suspend SC kill scale?
    A
    Suspend SC is labeled for scale insects when they are still in the "crawler" stage. If the scale insects on your plants are past this stage or if you are not sure what stage they are in we recommend you contact your local cooperative extension office and speak to the mater gardener on staff. The master gardener can help with an accurate insect ID and also offer guidance on what will work best on the type of plant and insect you are dealing with.

    Q
    Tiny black bugs in crevices and corners of carpet. Don't go into kitchen or anywhere else.
    They are so small that they almost look like mold but I have dug up a couple and they are hard shelled, tiny bugs. They like moisture because when I shampooed the carpet, they got worse. When I steamed the carpet, they got worse. I can't stand it, please help! will this work?
    A
    Unfortunately without seeing the insect we have no way to identify it. We recommend you either call a professional pest control company and have them come out and do a free inspection (most companies offer a free inspection/identification) or take samples of the insect to your local cooperative extension office to have the insects identified. Once you have the insects identified we can help you select the products you will need to eliminate them.

    Q
    Can I use Suspend SC on a Yellow Jacket nest?
    A
    While Suspend SC is labeled for yellow jacket control, it is not what we would recommend for a nest treatment. You would either want to use Tempo 1% Dust to puff onto/in the nest and allow it to transfer through all the cavities they have built and eliminate them without much risk to you of getting stung. Or you could use a product like Wasp X which is a foaming aerosol product that you can spray the nest with from 15 feet away that will consume the entire nest and foam up around it to suck the yellow jackets in. Tempo is preferred if it is a ground nest and you would apply the dust with a hand duster.

    Q
    Will Suspend SC work to get rid of bees and wasps around my back patio?
    Also, do I just spray it on the cement? Can I spray it up under the overhang of house?
    A

    Suspend SC is a great option for bees and wasps. It is labeled for both. You will spray around the perimeter of your home, in the eaves, etc. where the pests would be. The mixing ratio is 0.75 fl. oz. per gallon of water. This product should not be sprayed on the concrete. Yes, you can spray the overhang of your house. Be sure to wear protective goggles when spraying above your head. For an instant kill of flying stinging insects, you may also want to consider a knockdown spray such as Wasp Freeze.

  • Asked by Mark from Richmond, Mo

    Q
    Will Suspend SC kill snow fleas?
    A

    Yes, Suspend SC can be used for snow fleas.  What is commonly referred to as the "snow flea" is actually a springtail and not a flea, but this particular species has a special protein which allows them to survive in very cold temperatures. Since these insects feed on decaying plant matter, it is important to locate and eliminate the conditions which favor their presence, such as cleaning up decaying plant matter near the home, fixing leaking pipes or sprinklers, and practicing good general lawn sanitation. Please take a few moments to review our article How to Get Rid of Springtails for more tips on eradicating this pest.
