  • Asked by Mike from Great Falls, Mt
    06/17/2014
    Q
    What is recommended for White Pine Weevil?
    A
    Bifen IT is labeled for "weevils" in general and the active ingredient Bifenthrin is known to be effective for white pine weevils. It is important when using a foliar application that treatments start when adult weevils first start to appear in spring, usually around mid-April. At this time, Bifenthrin seems to be the only active ingredient available to homeowners for white pine weevil control. We also suggest you contact your local cooperative extension office for more tips on the best treatment time in your specific area

    Q
    Do you have anything for mosquitoes and flies?
    Backyard patio and yard appx. 75 ft. x 80 ft.
    A
    Bifen IT would be a great choice to treat mosquitoes and flies. It dries clear and is odorless. You can apply the mixed solution to lawns, trees, shrubs, indoors. It has a long lasting residual. You may want to retreat during the season once every 30 days.  
    Be sure to spray the undersides of leaves on trees as bushes as this is where mosquitoes like to hang out during the heat of the day.

  • Asked by Douglas from United States
    07/07/2014
    Q
    What product do you recommend for long lasting residential mosquito control using a mist blower?
    A
    Bifen IT is our most popular choice for mosquito control that can be used in a mist blower.  You would apply once a month.  The most important thing to remember when treating for mosquitoes is that they hang out on the underside of leaves and shrubs.  You should treat all shrubs, bushes and trees around the outside patio or wherever you hang out at around the house.  You should also treat the tree line in your yard near the forest if one exists.  Remember to not only treat the main bush or shrub but also the underside of the leaves.

    Q
    What to use to get rid of chinch bugs in lawn
    A
    Bifen IT is one of our most popular products for Chinch Bug Control. The key is to use lots of water to carry the Bifen IT down to the thatch layer underneath the grass, where the chinch bugs do the most damage.  Please read the product label for proper application instructions.

    Q
    Can I use Bifen IT for mosquitos near edible vegetation?
    I am looking for an insecticide that takes care of mosquitos and gnats and can be sprayed on or near vegetables. Is there a product that can do this? I read that Bifen IT is not permitted for use on vegetation. Many thanks for the help in advance.

This will treat approximately 4000 square feet. This can also be used in your lawn for mosquitoes as well.

Be sure always to follow the more restrictive product label and to plan your dilution rates correctly for each product in the volume of water you are using.

  • 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.
