    Q
    My mom has copd and on oxygen 24/7. Exterminator says if she leaves for a day Suspend SC is then harmless. True?
    My mom is very frail... breathing problems and on oxygen 24/7.. also has two cats...Exterminator says the chemical is harmless the following day... I need to know for sure if this is correct before putting her in any risk. Thanks
    A

    That information is not available on the Suspend SC safety data sheet unfortunately, and it's not something provided to us by the manufacturer. For that information, you will need to contact Bayer directly, the phone number for their product information is: 1-800-331-2867.  It is also recommended to speak with her doctor before applying any product as we cannot be certain of how everyone would respond to products.

    Q
    Will Suspend SC control bermuda mites?
    The active ingredient for DeltaGard Granules, deltamethrin, says that it will control bermuda mites. The label for Suspend doesn't say this but it has the same active ingredient. Can I do a broadcast treatment of my turf with Suspend SC and control bermuda mites?
    A

    While its possible the Suspend or other similar active ingredient products could potentially control bermudagrass mites, the only product specifically listed for their control that we are aware of is the Triple Crown Insecticide

    Q
    Can Suspend SC be used for spiders on a boat dock?
    A

    Although Suspend SC can be used to kill spiders, it cannot be used to spray around boat docks or bodies of water.

    Q
    Does Suspend SC work on stink bugs?
    A

    Suspend SC is a very popular product for stink bugs and widely used by our customers.  The key to stink bug control is to treat in the fall when the stink bugs normally look for entry into a home.  Even more important is to make sure there are no cracks around windows or under doors.  You should seal all cracks and holes with caulk or other suitable material to prevent entry from stink bugs and other pests during the fall and winter.

    Q
    Can Suspend SC, Talstar P and Surfactant be tank mixed in one spray tank and applied all together?
    A

    Suspend SC and Talstar P should not be tank mixed together as they have the same modes of action and would hinder results. You would wnat to use one or the other but not both together nor should these be cross treated and applied in the same areas.

    A non ionic surfactant can be used with Talstar P to treat for mites per the product label. The Supspend SC product label does not advise or state a Surfactant is required.

    Q
    Can Suspend SC Insecticide be used in a handheld sprayer around the exterior of a house for perimeter control of insects if there is a vegetable garden nearby?
    We use this at our house in a spray mist application (with a Stihl blower) to keep mosquitoes away and in a 2-gal handheld sprayer around our entire house (doors, windows, etc) to keep cobwebs away and other bugs from trying to enter. My parents have a large vegetable garden, so we've never tried to mist this around their house. Would it still be OK to use in the handheld sprayer around their barriers to control cobwebs? Thank you!
    A
    Suspend SC Insecticide can be used to treat around the exterior foundation of homes, around windows, doors, under the eaves of roofs/overhangs as well as on bushes, trees, shrubs and lawns. Suspend SC Insecticide cannot be used on edibles therefore applications should be done on non windy days and depending how close the vegetable garden is to the home, using a plastic barrier to protect the vegetable garden can be used to prevent any overspray.

    Q
    Will Suspend SC Insecticide kill Camel Crickets?
    A
    Suspend SC Insecticide is not labeled for Camel Crickets. Talstar P would be an better option if wanting a liquid insecticide to treat the both the interior and exterior of the home. Please review the product label for application rates and more information. 

    Another good option for Camel Crickets would be using Niban Granular Bait as a perimeter band around the foundation, trees, stumps, firewood, or as a scatterbait in localized areas. This can also be used indoors in approved areas on the product label.

    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
    How long do I have wait after spraying with Suspend SC and mopping?
    A

    Suspend SC when used as directed on the product label is only applied along baseboards and in cracks and crevices inside.  It would not be applied across entire floors where you would mop.  Only a small amount would possibly be on the floor along the edges of the room after you have sprayed and you should avoid mopping these areas as it will remove the product and the residual it leaves that keeps killing insects.
