Deltamethrin Spray, Insecticide Concentrate, Bug Spray

One of the most widely used active ingredients in the world (for pest control uses) is Deltamethrin, a synthetic pyrethroid material. Deltamethrin is popular not only because of its effectiveness but also for characteristics that allow the insecticide to work effectively at very low rates.
The two most popular Deltamethrin insecticide concentrates used in home pest control:

D-Fense SC and Suspend SC

Both D-Fense and Suspend contain 4.75% Deltamethrin, have very similar labels and are both practically odorless.
Suspend SC was the original Deltamethrin concentrate; D-Fense is the new brand which is more economical to use and is gaining in popularity among homeowners and pest control professionals.

These Deltamethrin insecticide sprays used to control or eliminate a wide variety of pests such as spiders, bed bugs, ants, carpenter ants, fleas, ticks, clothes moths and many other household pests. Rates can vary for different pest control jobs but the highest rate needed for tough pests on the home (fleas, ticks, spiders) is only 1.5 ounces per gallon of water. The odorless solution is water safe and can be sprayed on carpets, upholstery, rugs, wood floors, tile floors and other types of flooring or fabrics that are not harmed by water.

Using 1.5 ounces of concentrated Deltamethrin product per gallon of water is considered the "clean out" rate by professionals. The clean out rate has better knock down power for spiders, ticks and other hard to kill pests in and around the home. Once pest populations are eliminated, use .750 ounces per gallon for regular spray treatment.

Suspend SC and D-Fense SC with Deltamethrin have a broad label that allows uses in many
different environments. This insecticide can be used as a spot treatment in indoor areas when dealing with flea, tick, bed bug, carpet beetle infestations. The expanded label also allows spraying of most shrubs, small trees and ornamental plants. One of the special uses allowed is in restaurants and commercial food handling areas.
It does not matter if you are treating homes, restaurants or plants and landscaped areas, D-Fense SC is one of the most important pest control tools at your disposal.

When used as directed, this Deltamethrin spray is perfectly safe for use
in homes where children and pets live. Keep children and pets out of area
to be treated and keep them off treated surfaces until surfaces have been
allowed to dry.

Each pint of concentrate (Deltamethrin) will make 10 to 20 gallons of odorless finished solution.

Deltamethrin is the active ingredient in professional products that are available in liquid concentrate, granules and dust. Suspend SC and D-Fense SC are the concentrated liquids, DeltaGard is a granular product and Delta Dust is a water-proof insecticide dust.
