    Q
    Will Bifen IT kill and prevent ticks from entering the yard?
    A

    Bifen IT is an insecticide that will treat for ticks as well as several other labeled insects.  It does not act as a repellent.  When applied to your yard at the proper mix rate, insects can not detect that the product is there.  The insecticide leaves a residual that kills the insects that come in contact with it.

  • Asked by Brad from Elm City, Nc
    05/28/2019
    Q
    What is the best way to apply Bifen IT for mosquitoes, and other bugs? As a broadcast?
    A

    When applying Bifen IT outdoors for a variety of insects you are absolutely able to apply it as a broadcast spray. You will need 1 fl oz of product diluted into 1 gallon of water for every 1,000 sq ft of space you need to treat. When you are treating for mosquitoes the key is to apply it to all shrubs, trees, and other foliage around the house or patio where you are trying to provide relief. It should be directed not only on top of the leaves and plants but on the underside of the leaves as well which is where the mosquitoes hang out. This product can also be applied to your lawn, exterior of your home for barrier insect control and indoors to control current infestations. Make applications every 30 days for optimum control. 

     

    Please take a few moments to review our treatment article on How to Get Rid of Mosquitoes for more information on a successful program.

  • Asked by Hurley
    05/31/2010
    Q
    I have clover mites. I got rid of them last year with Tempo SC Ultra but they have came back this year.
    Demand G controls mites, but does not specify the clover mite. Can you confirm? I also plan on using Bifen It for perimeter of house. Would demand G granules and Bifen IT be a good combo?
    A
    Demand G granules will control clover mites, but our most popular product for clover mites has always been bifenthrin products like the Bifen IT.  Demand G Granules would be a good one, two punch for your yard, but spraying Bifen on the house 2 feet up and 2 feet out and underneath siding will do a better job than anything keeping clover mites away.  Unfortunately these pests seem to come back every year once the moisture comes and the weather gets warm.

    How much Bifen IT & how to apply to carpenter ant nest in the yard.
    The book says to dilute 0.5 to 1 oz to a gallon of water & apply at a rate of 10 gal per 1000 sq ft. So can I make 1 gallon & apply in a 10 ft by 10 ft area around the carpenter ant nest?

    Q
    Can I spray Bifen IT on the soil around my vegetable plants within a foot or so?
    Trying not to get any on the plants , Can i do this without taking ANY chance of harm to me or my family if we eat the veggies ?
    A
    You must keep Bifen IT applications outside of the root zone of the vegetable plant according to the Bifen IT product label. Spraying within a foot of edible vegetation is usually too close.
