    Q
    What is the difference between Suspend SC and Suspend Polyzone? Which one is newer?
    I am a longtime customer and usually buy Suspend SC. I noticed they now make a Suspend Polyzone. I am trying to determine which one is better. I know they are made by the same company.
    A
    Suspend Polyzone is the newer, better version of Suspend SC. Suspend Polyzone has a polymer added to its formulation that enable it to last 90 days outdoors and work better on porous surfaces. Suspend SC will only last about 30 days outdoors.

    Q
    Can Suspend SC be used for cloth moths?
    A

    Suspend SC can help control clothing moths if it is sprayed on infested areas. The most important part of clothes moth control is finding the source and thoroughly cleaning the item(s) or disposing of the item(s) all together. Failure to do so will lead to poor results. Clothes moth eggs generally hatch out within 10 days during warmer temperatures and two weeks or longer during colder temperatures. Spraying a second time will help kill the adults but unless the larva are targeted you may continue to need additional treatments. Please take a moment to read our article How to Get Rid of Clothes Moths to learn more about this pest.

    Q
    Can Suspend SC and Temprid FX be used together?
    I live in a highly wooded area in TX. We battle American roaches "water bugs" mainly in our bathrooms. We have occasional spiders and silverfish. I am looking for an all around insecticide but also a good one for roaches. We usually have our exterminator come out once a year but to cut back on costs we would like to try diy. What would you recommend would be the best product to use indoor and outdoor?
    A

    No  Suspend SC? should not be mixed with Temprid FX. ? Doing so can change the products formulations and effectiveness.  Only products that are labeled to mixed together with an insecticide can do so, like Archer IGR? or Exciter insecticide.

    Q
    I have small children and want to use Suspend SC for spider control in my home. Is it safe?
    A
    Yes, Suspend SC and all of our products are safe as long as you follow the instructions on the product label. When mixed with water, these products are only strong enough to kill small insects. You should keep all children and pets out of the room while you are treating. Use common sense when applying, you obviously do not want to spray on any toys or around pets food and water bowls. Wait 30 minutes for product to dry, then it is perfectly safe for children and pets to re-enter the room.

    Q
    Dose Suspend SC kill bed bugs
    A

    Suspend SC Insecticide will kill most strains of bed bugs however there are better products on the market now for bed bug treatments. There are resistant strains of bed bugs Suspend SC will not kill or affect. The most effective treatment for bed bugs would be to use Temprid FX along with an insecticide dust and contact/residual aerosol to treat all the necessary areas where bed bugs hide.

    Bed Bugs require repeat applications every 7-10 days until you can go 30 days without seeing any signs of bed bugs. Please review our Bed Bug Kits that contain professional grade products to completely treat all the necessary harborage sites. The Kits come with full instructions and have a great success rate when per the product label and applied diligently. Please view our How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs Guide for more information.

    Q
    Suspend SC or Cyzmic CS
    Hi, I had this pest control company and they were using Suspend SC and Cyzmic CS around the house. Not sure about the difference between the two but I want to do it myself now. Do I need to buy and use both at the same time or will one product will get the job done? Thanks
    A
    Both Suspend SC and Cyzmic CS are great general purpose pest control products and treat many of the same types of insects. Depending on the particular type of insect(s), one might be betther than the other. We recommend hat you make sure that the pest(s) you are treating for are on the product label and mix accordingly as instructed. Typically, you are able to get the same results with either the Suspend SC or Cyzmic CS. There would not be a reason to use both. Pleae let us know if you have any further questions.

    Q
    Can I spray Suspend SC on carpet?
    I want to use it to get rid of carpet beetles.
    A

    Suspend SC should not be applied to the carpet only interior cracks and crevices quarterly. NyGuard Plus can be applied to carpet inside the structure. Suspend SC is labeled for carpet beetle control and it will eliminate carpet beetles that come into contact with treated areas. It is very important that the source of the infestation (where the damaging larva is harboring) is discovered and eliminated, not just the visible adult insects you see wandering around. Until you find out what that is and deal with it you will continue to get more of the carpet beetles emerging from hiding. Carpet beetles may be as likely to feed on grain based food materials as they are on animal byproducts. Pet foods stored in forgotten places, baking goods left too long in the cupboard, rodent baits tossed in the attic - all of these are quite susceptible to carpet beetle feeding. Plus, you also have the typical carpet beetle diets of dead insects (wasp nests in the attic, dead insects in window sills), feathers (bird nests, dead birds), hair (dead rodents, wool products, trophy mounts), and other things made from animal byproducts. Once the source of the infestation is removed or cleaned, using Suspend SC will help get rid of the annoying adult beetles. You can spray once a month on the exterior (as weather permits) until all of the beetles are gone.

    Q
    Is springtime a good time to begin spraying around our cabin for fall and winter indoor fly problems?
    We've had a bad winter with cluster flies and want to improve our chances for next fall. Do we spray perimeter only or also indoors? Thanks.
    A
    You can go ahead and spray the exterior now to help stop the population from building but the actual exclusion sprays are recommended to start in August. Most of the exclusion applications are applied on the exterior of the structure though spraying inside and outside of window frames, door frames, and places where cables, pipes and wires enter in to the structure will double your chance of controlling the flies before they gather indoors.

    Q
    Is Suspend SC safe to use on baseboards? We have a crawling toddler.
    A
    Suspend SC is one of the safest and most effective products we sell, which is why it is so popular.  You should always have children and pets vacate the room while you are applying the product.  Once the product is dry, which usually takes about 30-45 minutes, it is fine to allow children and pets back in the room.  These products are only strong enough to kill tiny insects.
