Suspend Polyzone, manufactured by Bayer, is a deltamethrin suspended concentrate that fights against various pests like mosquitoes in residential, commercial, and industrial areas. 

This easy to use product carries the same active ingredients as its popular Suspend SC formulation, but expands upon it with a polymer infusion which delivers proven residual control for up to 90 days outdoors.This special polymer layer makes it so the active ingredient is protected from weather, irrigation and mechanical abrasion, making it more effective and longer-lasting.

Suspend Polyzone also allows the active ingredients to partially embed themselves on to even the most porous of services, like wood, and high alkaline surfaces, like cement. Use this effective product to protect against over 40 problem pests (ants, ticks, bed bugs, spiders, carpenter ants and more) both indoors and outdoors.

Tools Needed

To use Suspend Polyzone, you will need to dilute the product in a handpump sprayer, backpack sprayer or pesticide spraying rig.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much Suspend Polyzone you will need by first calculating the square footage of the area to be treated. To do this, you will need to measure and multiply length times the width of the treatment area (length x width = square footage). Suspend Polyzone can be used at a 0.01% (0.25 fl. oz.), 0.03% (0.75 fl. oz.) or 0.06% (1.50 fl. oz.) dilution ration per gallon of water to cover 1,000 sq. ft. Use the higher rate for severe infestations. For example, if you wish to use the 0.06% rate and measured 2,500 sq. ft. of area, you will need to mix 3.75 fl. oz. of Suspend Polyzone in 2.5 gallons of water.
• Step 2: Fill approximately half of the spray container with water then apply the appropriate amount of Suspend Polyzone based on your container size and calculations. Shake your container well then open it once more to fill the rest of the container with water. Close your container tightly and give it one last shake to ensure even distribution.
• Step 3: For general pest control applications, apply a perimeter barrier application of Suspend Polyzone outdoors on all door frames, window frames, areas where utilities (cables, pipes, wires) enter into the structure. Spray a band of soil 6 to 10 feet adjacent to the structure and also up the foundation at a height of 2 to 3 feet where pests may be active or may find an entrance. Indoors you can use it as a crack and crevice spot treatment where pests may be hiding.

Where to Use

Suspend Polyzone can be applied to soil, turf and ground covers adjacent to structures.

You can also use Suspend Polyzone to treat the foundation of your home, walls, around doors, windows, and soffit areas is also useful because many insects hide in these areas.

Indoors you can spray Suspend Polyzone along baseboards and around cabinets and corners. It can also be used to spray on mattresses and box springs to treat for bed bugs.

When to Use

Apply Suspend Polyzone when you have a pest problem either indoors or outdoors. Peak times for pest activity is Spring through Fall.

Suspend Polyzone is also a great option to use when winter pests find their way indoors. When spraying outdoors, apply Suspend Polyzone on calm days when wind speeds are low to minimize drift.

Safety Information

Suspend Polyzone is safe to use when applied according to label directions. As a precaution, individuals like pets and children should remain indoors during treatment. All windows should be closed and doors leading outside should be shut. Also, shut off ventilation systems that receive outside air.

Wait until the material has dried before entering into the treated area. If it’s necessary to enter prior to material drying, wear gloves and clothes to protect the skin from direct contact with the leftover residues and to wash the skin and clothing if contact takes place.

Special Considerations

Since Suspend Polyzone is a suspended concentrate, it may need regular agitation to prevent potential clogging during application. If spraying is interrupted when using a backpack or hand-held sprayer, you may need to agitate the sprayer to re-suspend the product.
