Suspend SC Insecticide - Questions & Answers

Suspend SC is mixed at 0.25 - 1.5 fl oz per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft to interior or exterior cracks and crevices. The amount will depend on the targeted pest. You will treat once every 90 days per the product label to interior areas.

You should mix .25-1.5 fl oz (depending on the targeted insect-they are listed on the label) of Suspend SC per one gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft and treat the areas surrounding the driveway but not directly on the driveway.

Suspend Sc will help eliminate adult June bugs that contact treated areas. Suspend SC should be diluted with water at the listed usage rate on the product label and applied when the pests are present. Thorough coverage is required and higher volumes of water may be necessary to ensure both the top and underside of the leaves of the foliage are sprayed. Suspend SC will not work to control insect eggs or for grubs (larval form of beetles). Most insecticides will not kill insect eggs because the eggs are protected by their hard outer shell. For grub control in your lawn you can use one of our grub control granule products such as Dylox or Merit Granules.

Suspend SC is great for treating spiders and their food source (which naturally drives them away from the area). It is safe for children and pets if used as directed on product label. Make sure they are not in the area during the application of the product and when the surfaces are wet. Once the treated areas are dry, they can re-enter. We recommend mixing 1.5 fl oz per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft and treating monthly on the exterior of the structure and once every 90 days to indoor cracks and crevices.
