Suspend SC Insecticide, manufacutured by Bayer, is a product that not only delivers an instant kill to problem pests but it also provides a great residual of up to 3 months after the initial application.

This effective suspended concentrate, is formualted with finely ground particles of the active ingredient that are suspended in water. Suspended SC Insecticide has no additional solvents, but it does contain surfactants to help suspend the solid particles and biocides to prevent microbial growth and extend its shelf life.

Suspended SC Insecticide contains the high-powered deltamethrin as an active ingredient that comes in the form of pure micro-crystals. It is due to the micro-crystals that Suspend SC carries a long-time residual and, rather than being absorbed into porous surfaces, the formula stays on the surface. Because of this, insects continue to contact them long after the insecticide has been applied.

Tools Needed

Suspended SC Insecticide will need to be mixed in water and sprayed with either a hand-pump or power pressurized sprayer, hose-end sprayer, a spray rig, or a foam sprayer. To use as a foam, an approved foaming agent must be added to the solution.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much Suspended SC Insecticide you will need by first measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, you will need to measure the treatment areas length and width in feet then multiply them together (length X width = square footage). Suspended SC Insecticide 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 ratio 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 Suspended SC Insecticide in 2.5 gallons of water.
• Step 2: Fill approximately half of the spray container with water then apply the appropriate amount of Suspended SC Insecticide through the squeeze-n-pour feature to measure the correct amound of product needed 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: Apply a perimeter barrier application of Suspended SC Insecticide 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. When spraying landscape ornamentals, be sure to coat the upper and lower leaf surfaces to ensure adequate coverage. For broadcast spraying, surface spraying, or barrier spraying, use a fan nozzle spray setting to get uniform coverage. For spot and crack and crevice spraying, use a cone setting or pin-stream nozzle for precision application.

Where to Use

Suspended SC Insecticide can be used in and around residential and non-residential buildings including in commercial kitchens and all types of food or feed handling establishments. Outdoors, treat the soil, turf, and substrate next to buildings. Treating the foundation of your home, walls, around doors, windows, and soffit areas is also useful because many insects hide in these areas. Indoors, apply this product as a crack and crevice treatment or spot treatment. Permitted areas of use include, but are not limited to apartments, food processing plants, hotels, residential homes, kitchens, schools, ships, trucks, and warehouses. 

When to Use

Suspended SC Insecticide is best used during peak pest activity from Spring to Fall. Outdoors, apply on calm days to avoid wind drift.

Do not water or mow your lawn for 24 hours after application. Indoors, conduct your application when the space is unoccupied and will remain undisturbed until the product dries. When applying in food prep areas, make sure all food and utensils are removed or covered prior to application. Treatments may be applied at 21 day intervals or as necessary to maintain adequate control.

Special Considerations

Agitate Suspended SC Insecticide so it doesn’t settle for best results when spraying. 

To help avoid overapplication in spot and broadcast treatments outdoors, we recommend you use a marking dye like Vision Blue or Vision Pro Max. These products are temporary colorants used to indicate where you've already sprayed. When mixed into your spray solution, your application will leave turf a deep blue color, reminding you where have sprayed so you know not to apply there again.
