    Q
    What's the best application method of Bifen for applying for fleas?
    I use a backpack mister for mosquitoes.
    A

    You can also use the backpack mist blower to apply Bifen for fleas. You still want to stick to the perimeters of your yard and around your home. Mix at 1 oz per gallon of water. You may also want to consider mixing in Nyguard IGR to help break down the reproductive cycle. Be sure to visit our Flea Guide for more helpful tips on Flea control.

  • Asked by Elizabeth from Tx
    05/24/2016
    Q
    Can I use Bifen IT on an area rug in the den to kill fleas?
    A

    The label does not authorize to apply Bifen IT to any type of carpeting. You will want to focus treat the cracks and crevices of the room along baseboards, corners, door and window frames with a hand pump sprayer for a residual control. We advise to vacuuming consistently and sanitizing the treated area will help eliminate the fleas quicker. We also suggest using an IGR (insect growth regulator) such as Archer IGR to prevent the future infestation from developing for a better control.

  • Asked by Geri from Kansas
    06/26/2023
    Q
    Hi, will Bifen IT kill grasshoppers and their eggs?
    A
    Bifen IT would be a good choice for grasshopper control. You should start applications before the grasshoppers have a chance to hatch for best control. If you already have grasshoppers you can use Bifen at the highest usage rate of 1 oz of product per 1 gallon of water for the quickest knockdown. Use sufficient amounts of water to help the product get to the soil layers. Once the Bifen has dried it will be completely safe for pets and children to resume their normal activity in the areas that have been treated. The Bifen is safe to be used on anything non-edible in the yard and will not harm trees, bushes, or flowers.

    Q
    Shelf life...
    I purchased a gallon about a year and a half ago but haven't used it as much as I anticipated. It's currently separated and I'm wondering if it can simply be remixed or if it's gone bad and needs to be disposed of.
    A

    Bifen IT has a shelf life of 3-5 years if kept in a cool dry area. If you notice separation, that is normal and you can shake it up and it still be effective.

    Q
    Will Bifen I/T kill bed bugs and leave a residue to eradicate them?
    A

    Yes, Bifen IT is labeled for bed bugs & leaves a residual that will continue killing. However, it is not the top product that we recommend, we generally recommend using Temprid FX Insecticide. While they both have residuals, they take the Temprid back with them once they are in contact with it. You may also consider using one of our bed bug kits.
