    I used Suspend on our lettuce. If I cut off the current leaves can I eat the next batch of leaves?

    Suspend SC is not labeled to be applied in or around edible vegetation. We would recommend contacting Bayer at 866-992-2937 for tips on saving the harvest.

    Q
    Will Suspend SC kill brazilian wandering spider (aka banana spider)
    Found a brazilian wandering spider in some bananas with a nest. We sprayed with Suspend SC all around the house shortly after, will this kill this type of spider? We haven't seen it since. Thanks
    A
    Yes, Suspend SC can kill just about any type of spider, but generally speaking the spiders will take a long time to die.  Treat monthly on the exterior of your home and every three months indoors along the baseboard areas. You can also apply it the cracks and crevices of your garage, around window and doorframes.

    Q
    Pond water as carrier
    Will Suspend SC still be effective if you use a pond or lake as the water source for mixing. Is there usually too much organic material or ph issues that will render solution useless? If okay, approximately how long can you store the mixed solution before it becomes useless?
    A
    Pond water should be absolutely fine for you to use to mix the Suspend SC with when treating around your home and the water ph should not cause any problems. You only want to mix up what you plan to use as anything mixed needs to be used with 24-48 hours after being combined.

    Q
    Will a mixed batch create an odor over time?
    I've been using Suspend SC for about a year. I normally make a gallon at a time and use about 1/2 gallon per treatment. This batch (made a month ago) smelled like rotten eggs. Going forward, I'm going to only make as much as I need, but I'm curious if leaving the mix for a month caused the odor. It's never happened before. Thanks!
    A
    Yes, leaving a mixed batch of Suspend SC may cause the mixed soulution to have a foul odor if left in the sprayer for an extended period of time. You should always mix what you need and perform a triple rinse when you are done.

    Q
    Have carpenter bees using suspend sc only reach with pump sprayer, anything better?
    A
    We are unsure if you are asking about a better pump sprayer for better application and reach with the spray, or if you are asking about a better product for control of carpenter bees. For a sprayer with better reach than a general hand pump sprayer, you could look at using the Chapin Slide Pump Sprayer which will allow a spray reach of at least 30 feet. If you are looking for a product that could be a little better than the Suspend SC you are currently using, they Cyonara 9.7 is a great cost effective option that will hold up to the outdoor elements a little longer and sit on the surface more for better coverage and control. Or you could get our complete Carpenter Bee Kit as well for the best control over the entire population in and on your home.

    Q
    I have a dog that eats bugs. Will Suspend SC be harmful if she eats bugs that have been killed by Suspend SC?
    veterinarian
    A

    If your pet eats insects that were killed by Suspend SC, there is only enough product for it to kill the insect in touches so there is a reduced risk for your pet. They will have to consume quite a few to be affected by the dead pests.

    If you pet does show any signs of illness, we would recommend that you contact a veterinarian.

    Q
    How can we stop Daddy Long Legs insects from coming into our house? 16 so far. We have children & pets
    A

    We would recommend using Cyper WP. This can be sprayed around the baseboards and cracks and crevices indoors. Outdoors, you will spray around the perimeter of your home. You will use two scoops per gallon of water. This is residual product and will work for up to 3 months indoors and 30 days outdoors. It can leave a powdery residue because it is a wettable powder. Once Cyper WP is dry, it is safe for pets and children to come into the rooms that were sprayed.

    If you are wanting something that will dry clear, we would recommend using Suspend SC. You will use this around the cracks and crevices indoors and around the perimeter outdoors. You will use 0.75-1.5 fl. oz. per gallon of water. Once Suspend SC is dry, it is safe for children and pets to return to the area.

    Both of these products will kill and keep killing the spiders.

    Q
    What is the best product to use to get rid of German roaches. I would prefer a spray.

    We really recommend using more than one product to eraciate roaches.  You could our German Roach kit. The German Roach Control Kit is perfect for roach control problems in homes, apartments, and similar small treatment areas. This kit is designed specifically to treat infestations that have been Identified as German Roaches but it will treat other common roaches, as well.

    Q
    Caterpillar infestation on my evergreen and rose bushes
    I have sprayed Sevin concentrate 2 days in a row and my bushes are still filled with them. Help
    A
    Suspend SC is labeled for Caterpillars. Directly spray the plant foliage and nest. The larvae are usually easy to contact if spraying is done in late morning when the larvae congregate on the tent surface to warm in the sun. Mechanical control is also helpful with this pest. The egg masses are easy to spot after the leaves have dropped in the fall. Simply clip off and crush or drop into a bucket of soapy water.

    Living in CT and live Suspend SC
    I bought this product when living in NC but have moved to CT. It says this cannot be shipped to CT. Is there another comparable product that kills ticks as effectively? I would like one exactly like Suspend SC

    Fenvastar EcoCap would be a great product to consider. It works just as well as Suspend but can be shipped to CT.

    Q
    What is the best treatment for Black Carpet beetles?
    Can whatever you recommend be vacuumed by a regular vacuum with a filter? I have read that some treatments cannot be vacuumed by a filter vac as it will burn it out.
    A

    Vacuuming is just as important to carpet beetle elimination as it is to prevention. While liquid and dust insecticides may successfully kill off the adult and larvae stages, they can not kill eggs and pupae. Vacuuming is an effective way to kill these hard-to-eliminate life stages of carpet beetles. When vacuuming, be sure to do so every couple of days while you work your elimination plan. Vacuum over carpeted areas several times and use attachments as need to cover furniture and draperies. Eggs may be hiding in these places as well. Even if you do not reach every egg and pupae with the vacuum, don't worry. Your odorless insecticide such as Suspend SC will still be working, and eventually there will be no more surviving adults to lay more eggs and you will see the end of your problem! You could also apply Drione Dust using a hand duster only after Suspend SC has application had completely dried. Dust should be applied with a hand duster into all cracks and crevices where the spray cannot penetrate. This birth control for insects can be added directly to your liquid insecticide solution (Suspend SC) in the sprayer before spraying. That way you will apply two insecticides at once. While Suspend kills the adult carpet beetles, the Gentrol IGR will kill off the larvae so they are unable to fully develop.

    Q
    Can Suspend SC be used 50-75 ft from beehives?
    A

    Suspend SC could be used but if the bees contact a treated surface they will be harmed by the product.  Care should be taken to avoid overspray/drift from contacting the hives as well as applying to plants/flowers that the bees would contact.

    A

    Suspend SC is labeled for bees. It can be broadcast across the lawn for ground bees. Be sure to spray at night so that they do not attack.

    Q
    What is the fish pond impact of spraying Suspend SC?
    We have a fish pond about 10 feet from the house. Once we spray around the house, could this impact the fish?
    A

    Suspend SC does have toxicity to aquatic life, so you want to be sure that runoff or drift does not enter the fish pond. We would recommend spraying when rainfall is not expected within at least 24 hours. You could also consider a product near the pond that does not have aquatic toxicity such as EcoVia EC.
