    Q
    Bifen IT vs Bifen XTS?
    I use Bifen IT to pretreat swimming pool soil for Termites under liners I use .12% mix 2 3/4 gallons per 100 water? Would Bifen XTS be more cost effective? Any concerns with oil base on liners,plants, houses etc... I use for perimeter pest control. Any info much apprecated?
    A
    Bifen XTS does not really make it that much better than the normal Bifen IT, its just that one quart container can make much more than the equivalent Bifen IT.  The normal mixture rate of Bifen IT is one ounce per gallon of water.  When using Bifen XTS, you only need about a third of an ounce to make the same treatment.  So you can make many more gallons of solution from one container of Bifen XTS than you can with the normal Bifen IT.  As far as we know, there should be no concerns with oil based solutions on pool liners or other surfaces.

    Q
    What type of weather should I put the Bifen IT out in? Rainy, cold, hot?
    A
    All of our liquid insecticides including Bifen IT should be applied in dry weather, not rainy weather.  All of the liquid insecticides are made to bond to dry surfaces and will last longer when applied when it is dry and not going to rain for at least 24 hours.  The temperature does not matter as much.  It can be applied in hot or cold weather, but it must be dry and not wet to work at its highest potential.

    Q
    I purchased Bifen & Nyguard for tick control. Can this be applied with a hose end sprayer?
    A

    Yes, Bifen IT can be used in a hose end sprayer. You will use 1 fl. oz. of solution and 5.5 ml of Nyguard IGR per gallon of water. You will put the concentrate directly into the cannister, and the tube will automatically use how much you have on the dial. It will disperse with each gallon that comes through the hose. You will need to be as accurate as possible when using this method. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

    Q
    If my dog eats grass that Bifen IT is sprayed and dryer on will it harm her?
    A

    Bifen IT should be applied and dried prior to the entry of the dogs. Once dry, it is safe for their return. It will not reactivate when wet again.Your dog would have to eat a lot of grass most likely to get sick, and he/she would probably get much more sick from the grass then the product.  However, of course we recommend anything you can do to minimize your dog from eating the grass.

    Q
    Have been using Bifen IT with good results for pests, but could you recommend something with a quick knockdown?
    A
    The ExciteR Insecticide is specifically designed to be added to any insecticide you are already using to provide you with a much stronger and faster initial knock down, while the Bifen continues to give you the longer lasting residual. However, we may be able to give you a more accurate product recommendation if we know what pest in particular you are treating for and wanting a quicker knock down with. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Q
    I have a baseball field to spray for fire ants. What rate do you use Bifen IT at and how much to cover approx. two acres?
    A

    The best control will be achieved by using broadcast treatments in combination with mound drenches when using Bifen IT. This will control present colonies along with foraging workers and newly mated fly-in 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
