    Q
    What is the best (and safest) product to get rid of centipedes?
    I live in a four-unit apartment building. There is a partially covered sump pump in the basement.
    A

    Suspend SC would be a good choice to use around the inside and outside of your home to eliminate centipedes. Suspend SC is safe for people and pets when used as directed on the product label.  Indoors you can apply Suspend SC to door frames, window frames, places where utilities enter into the structure, and any other place where the insects can gain entry. Outdoors you should apply the product to door frames, window frames, places where utilities enter into the structure, around the bottom of the foundation and out onto the ground directly around the foundation. You can also limit favorable conditions that the centipedes need to thrive. 

    Remove Favorable Conditions

    • Fix leaky faucets or pipes and dry up wet or damp areas where centipedes thrive
    • Remove outdoor harborages near the home that hold moisture (compost, wood, or leaf piles, etc).
    • Store firewood off the ground at least 20 feet away from the home
    • Water your lawn in the morning so that it will be dry by afternoon
    • Do not over mulch flower beds, since soggy mulch is an ideal harborage for centipedes

    Q
    Will Suspend SC kill German roaches?
    A
    Suspend SC is labeled for roaches, including German 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 Advion 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.

    Q
    Will Suspend SC work on oriental cockroaches that are outside mostly?
    A

    Yes,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  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 if found indoors. Suspend SC 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.

    A

    Suspend SC will not harm your plants. Your cats should be out of the area prior to the applications and they can return to the area after it has dried. We have linked the Suspend SC product label below so you can read how to use it for bedbugs:

    Q
    How long does Suspend SC typically take to kill?
    I have been having a huge Wasp and Carpenter Bee problem this year. My children are too scared to step outside. They cover the bushes out front. My wife and I have counted at least 2 dozen or more at any given time. I have sprayed a 1oz to 1gal mix of Suspend SC to the bushes they congrigate on. I used about 1.5 gallons of mix onto all the bushes. I assume the pole they collect will be taken back to the nest(s) and will infect the queens, eggs, etc. What is typical time to take effect for Flying Insects such as Wasps, Bumble Bees, Carpenter Bees, etc. How long after treatment should I expect to see a reduction in the number of these insects. Also assuming proper exposure to the treated area, what is the typical time for Spiders, etc. to die?
    A
    The amount of time it takes Suspend SC to kill will depend on how bad the infestation is. It could generally take 1-2 weeks. The rate that was used of Suspend SC per gallon of water is fine. It is a residual so it does need time for it to work. This treatment can be done every 21 days outdoors.

    We would recommend washing your dishes if Suspend SC was sprayed in cabinets where they are stored. Your cabinets should be empty of dishes and food when this product is sprayed.

    Q
    Will Suspend SC kill bark beetles that are killing my pine & cedar trees here in Colorado?
    A

    Suspend SC will not kill Bark Beetles. Bark Beetles are very hard to treat for as they get into the vein of the tree. Our best recommendation is to cut down and chip the tree. Then you can apply Permethrin SFR to uninfested trees to protect them.

    Q
    Is Suspend SC the best option for bed bugs ?
    A

    Suspend SC is labeled for bed bugs, however, if bedbugs have been found in the home you will want to follow our detailed bedbug guide which will take you through each step necessary to completely eliminate the population. As you go through the guide linked below you will see the non chemical steps (such as washing and drying clothes and linens) as well as chemical steps including where and how to use each product. Our Bed Bug kits are the best route to make sure you are using the best products on the market and without breaking the bank. Each kit is designed to treat a different size home or number of rooms, so you can choose the one best suited to the areas you have effected by the pest problem. The kits come with all the products need to do a complete treatment in all the places bed bugs can hide and enough product to complete roughly 4 repeat applications. Since every home and infestation is different you will want to do diligent and meticulous treatments with the products every 7-14 days until you can go 30 days in a row with no signs of live bed bugs and no new bites on the occupants of the home. If you have any questions regarding info you see in our guide or the products within the kits please let us know, and we would be more than happy to assist you.
