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. You will apply the product to areas listed on the product label only. Suspend SC should not be used to treat termites. Please see our Termite Treatment Guide for this pest.
Suspend SC is only labeled to be applied every 21-30 days outdoors. To treat for fleas outdoors, you will mix 1.5 fluid ounces per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft. We strongly recommend that you also add an insect growth regulator (IGR) to the mix to impede their reproduction. Pivot 10 would be a great choice. Please take a look at our Outdoor Flea Control Guide for more tips on treating and preventing fleas.
Depending on the mix rate you are needing for Suspend SC, the amount of finished solution coverage will vary.
1 Pint (16 oz.) of Suspend SC concentrate yields 10-64 gallons of finished solution, depending on mixing rate used. 1 Gallon (128 oz) of concentrate yields 85 to over 500 gallons of finished solution. One gallon of finished solution should cover approximately 1,000 square feet.
Please check the product label for the pest you are treating for specific dilution rates.
Suspend SC should be mixed at 0.25-1.5 fl oz per gallon of water. It is not recommended to use a quart size bottle.
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.
Suspend SC will kill most strains of bed bugs. However, we do not recommend Suspend any longer. There are resistant strains of bed bugs Suspend will not kill. We recommend using Temprid SC, because it will treat pyrethroid resistantbed bugs and using double killing power of two different active ingredients. Temprid SC also has a very broad application label. Please take a moment to look at our bed bug kits which have many products that are considered the top bed bug control products. Our kits also come with full instructions. They have a very high success rate with our customers and your best chance of eliminating a bed bug infestation.
Suspend SC can be mixed at 12.5-37.5 fl oz per 50 gallons for general pest applications. Please refer to the product label for specific application instructions.
Suspend SC cannot be used in any fogger. It is not listed for indoor flea applications as it is applied to cracks and crevices only. We do carry products that can be used for indoor and outdoor flea treatments in our Flea Control Kit. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article on How to Get Rid of Fleas for a successful eradication program.
Suspend SC can be applied at 0.25-0.75 fl oz per gallon for carpet beetles to listed cracks and crevices indoors.
Suspend SC or any other product that we carry should not be applied in the exhaust fan outlet or interior fan.
Suspend SC should not discolor the baseboards but we recommend testing a small, inconspicous area first to be completely sure.
Suspend SC works great for an interior crack and crevice perimeter spray for a 90 day control and outside for a monthly control for roaches and other insects. If you have noticed them indoors, please take a few moments to review our treatment article/videos on How to Get Rid of Roaches for a successful program using a combination of products and non-chemical methods. We also offer Roach Control Kits.
ExciteR Pyrethrin Concentrate would be a fantatsic product to use and mix in with the Suspend SC to give you contact kill with your residual control. You typically use between 0.5and 1 oz per gallon of water for Exciter.
Yes, Suspend SC can be applied with a hose-end sprayer.
Ultracide is a ready to use aerosol can that contains an insecticide and insect growth regulator. You do not need to also use Suspend SC, which cannot be used on carpets inside so is not recommended for inside flea control. We do have a great guide here on "How to Get Rid of Fleas" that will give helpful advice on what should be done.
It is not recommended to use a quart size container with this product. Suspend SC is mixed at 0.25-1.5 fl oz per gallon of water in a hand pump sprayer for applications to listed areas (on the product label) for targeted pests. Suspend SC offers a monthly exterior residual and a quarterly interior residual.
I'm sorry, but I am unsure exactly what product it is you are inquiring about. If you are asking about using Termidor SC in crawl spaces, then the answer is that you can if you are treating a live infestation of termites, or you are doing a trenching treatment for the prevention of termites. You cannot use Termidor in a crawl space or otherwise indoors for a topical spray for ants. You can use Suspend SC for treatment in a crawl space or crack and crevice/spot treatment indoors for surface pests.
Both the Suspend SC and the Talstar P contain synthetic pyrethroids for active ingredients and will provide very similar results. The only advantage to using Talstar P over Suspend SC is that it is known to be super gentle on most plants (do not use on edible vegetation) and is virtually odorless, while Suspend SC does have a slight odor. Both products can be used indoors and outdoors and both products are safe to use in houses with children and pets. Keep in mind that you will not need to treat in winter months if you are in a cold area (temperatures consistently below 40 degrees) unless you currently have a specific pest infestation.
Unfortunately, we cannot recommend using Suspend SC or any other insecticides directly on animal mounts. You could use Suspend SC as a crack and crevice spray in the room where they are present, but we would not recommend spraying them directly. If you would like to tell us more about what pest you are treating, then we may be able to give you more specific treatment advice.
Suspend SC is labeled for Gypsy moth larvae, but we would recommend a product like Monterey Garden Insect Spray. Using an insect spray containing Spinosad is the most effective way to treat for this type of caterpillar. When sprayed on the foliage, this products works by poisoning the caterpillars feeding on the leaves.
