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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Suspend SC can safely be applied to Myoporum when used as directed. Dilute at .5-1oz per gallon.
