    Q
    Is it wise to use Bifen IT along with Actellic?
    A
    We are unfamiliar with Actellic. We recommend that you contact the manufacturer directly to seek advice on whether or not you should supplement their product with a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide such as Bifen IT.

    Q
    Can I mix Bifen IT and Humic Acid liquid in a tank sprayer?
    I would like to spray Bifen IT when I spray other products. Can it be mixed with Humic Acid in a tank sprayer? Are there any common products that it won't tank mix with such as an herbicide like Tenacity?
    A

    Bifen IT can be tank mixed with other products in a tank sprayer. For something like humic acid, we always recommend a small jar test for compatibility before mixing a full tank. It can also be mixed with other herbicides as long as the herbicide label does not state otherwise. You just want to make sure you apply the right amount of products per gallon and per 1,000 sqft.

    Q
    Can I combine Bifen IT with other chemicals?
    I have ExciteR and Cyzmic and Pivot. Can I safely combine all 3 of these or any of them for terrible mosquitoes?
    A

    Yes, Bifen IT can be used with an IGR like Pivot and a synergist like Exciter for a faster knockdown of insects such as mosquitoes. There would be no valid reason to mix Cyzmic CS and Bifen IT. You would want to use one or the other.

    Q
    Can Bifen IT deactivate any if left in heated temperatures?
    My husband left our bottle of Bifen IT in the toolbox of his truck for several days in the heat. Will the heat deactivate the product??
    A
    Bifen IT should be kept out of extreme temperatures, such as below 30 degrees Fahrenheit and above 90 degrees Fahrenheit. We would recommend keeping it in a room temperature room from now on.

    Q
    Can Bifen IT be used inside and be effective for household pest control?
    Everything I read pertained to spraying outside. We feed and protect birds and some other fun critters that I don't want to hurt such as chameleons, rabbits and other things that eat from the ground.
    A

    Bifen IT is considered a general use insecticide and is labeled for outside and inside use. It is odorless, and very safe to use around children or pets. The general rule is that while spraying you keep children or pets in another room or outside to play. After about one hour, it should be dry and it is perfectly safe to allow kids and/or pets back in the room. This product is only strong enough to kill tiny insects, and would have no effect on animals like rabbits, etc.

    Q
    What is the difference between bifenthrin and Bifenazate?
    I'm trying to figure out which products I should use in rotation for spider mites. What is the difference between Bifenthrin and Bifenazate? Are they safe to use in a pesticide rotation one after the other or are they basically the same?
    A

    Bifenthrin and Bifenazate are used to treat different types of insects. Bifenthrin is mainly for general pest control use and is an ingredient in products such as Talstar P and Bifen IT.  Bifenazate is a type of miticide and is an ingredient in products such as Floramite SC and Sirocco Miticide. We would not recommend rotating these two products for mite control. Bifenazate is a good active ingredient for spider mites, as well as Abamectin, which is the active ingredient in Avid 0.15 EC.

    Q
    Can I add a colored dye for application to ensure overlapping and coverage of Bifen I/T?
    I've just purchased 10 acres, and a home on the property. In just 1week I've found 6 ticks on my two dogs. I found one that got under my shirt, and attached itself to my waist line. Need something that will kill these pests. I want something that can be mixed in my pull behind sprayer that will eliminate this tick infestation.
    A

    You can use a temporary marking dye such as Turf Mark Blue with the Bifen I/T or any insecticide you plan to use for tick control. Bifen would be a great choice, and in the areas of the property you suspect the highest populations of ticks, you can mix in an IGR such as Archer IGR to help stop their reproductive cycle and reduce the amount of future generations you would be contending with in the yard. We also have a handy Tick Control Guide which you can review for tips to get the most out of your treatment, including how to videos and step by step instructions and recommendations.

    Q
    Will Bifen IT kill smoky brown roaches, the large roaches that you find in trees and dead wood?
    A

    Yes, Bifen IT can kill large roaches such as Smoky Brown Roaches. You would dilute at the highest application rate, 1 oz. of Bifen IT per gallon of water. Please take a few moments to review our Roach Prevention Guide for more tips on how to prevent roach infestations.
