    Q
    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?
    A
    You can definitely mix Bifen IT in smaller quantities to fit your needs as long as you are following the general guidelines described on the product label. Be sure to thoroughly saturate the carpenter ant gallery for best results.

    Q
    How much does 96oz of Bifen IT cover for flea and tick treatment on bermuda grass?
    A

    The 96 oz of Bifen IT will make 96 to 192 gallons giving you a coverage of 4 acres. But, please keep in mind that the Bifen alone will not eradicate fleas. You will also need to mix in an IGR to break down the reproductive cycle. Bifen kills the adults that come in contact with it, but then you still have the immature fleas growing and then reproducing. It is a constant battle without the IGR. We recommend Nyguard as an additive to the Bifen and it will last up to 7 months.

    Q
    How much area will one gallon of diluted Bifen cover when spraying the yard for mosquitoes?
    A
    Typically one diluted gallon of Bifen will cover 1000 square feet, but it all depends on how you apply it.  The key to mosquito control is to treat all bushes, shrubs, and trees in the area and especially paying close attention to treating the underside of the leaves which is where mosquitoes hang out.
