    Q
    How much Bifen I/T do I mix with water to kill fire ants?
    A

    Per the Bifen I/T Product Label:

    Imported Fire Ants: The best control will be achieved by using broadcast treatments in combination with mound drenches. This will control present colonies along with foraging workers and newly mated flyin queens. It is critical either to use high volume treatments or to irrigate prior to application if the soil is dry. Apply 1 fl. oz. per 1,000 square feet when using broadcast treatments. For mound drenches, dilute 1 teaspoon of Bifen I/T per gallon of water and use 1 to 2 gallons of finished dilution using sufficient force to penetrate the top and allow dilution to flood ant channels. Treat a four-foot diameter around each ant mound. Application should be made in late evening or early morning when it is cooler (65

    Q
    Is it safe to spray this around the parameter of a raised bed garden?
    I also have several apple trees in an area surrounded by mulch. Can this be sprayed on the mulch (not directly on the trees) and the apples will still be safe to eat?
    A
    As long as the product does not come into direct contact with the plants, their roots or drip line, you can use the product around the areas safely. Try to spray on a very calm sunny day to allow for less chance of wind drift as you spray and for quicker dry times.

  • Asked by Jeremy from Fountain, Colorado

    Q
    Is it safe to spray Bifen IT on my new seeded grass that just started germinating?
    A

    Bifen IT is just an insecticide, so it will not harm the grass or other desirable plants. The only concern we would have is if you have newly germinating grass then you want to be careful not to put too much stress walking over it or pulling a sprayer over it.

    Q
    I've been using Bifen for ants, but still have earwigs and silverfish, what should I use for those?
    I already put Dekko in the attic where I found silverfish. But I don't know where those earwigs come from?? It's not much, just a few, but I don't want them to hurt my paralyzed dog.
    A
    That's awesome Bifen IT has been doing such a great job for you. To treat the Earwigs, please refer to our article Getting Rid of Earwigs. There are many steps you can take to treat and prevent earwigs and Silverfish. By following the steps in our article you will also help to eliminate the Silverfish as well. You also may want to try a residual spray like Demon WP that is labeled for earwigs and silver fish. You want to spray the entire perimeter indoors and out.
