    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 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.

    Q
    I have used Bifen IT on the lawn for mites, but I am unsure how much to water after application.
    A
    According to the product label, you should use Bifen IT with a surfactant such as DyneAmic to control mites in the lawn. The product label also recommends irrigating the lawn with .25 inch of water after the application for lawn infesting insects.

    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.

  • Asked by Theresa from Colorado
    07/14/2012
    Q
    We just purchased 35 acres in San Luis Colorado, and the property is infested with big headed ants.
    We are not living on the land yet, but do camp on it, so I am not there all the times. Is there any time released treatment on the market.
    A
    Insecticide granules such as Bifen granules would be a good choice to help control the population of big headed ants as it will last for 3-4 months. Bifen Granules will kill ants that venture on to treated areas.  Another great choice would be to use Extinguish Plus Fire Ant Bait. This bait is also labeled for big headed ants specifically and would be a great choice for your use. Extinguish Plus combines the power of hydramethylnon with an insect growth regulator (like birth control for ants) to kill big headed ant workers and prevent queens from laying fertile eggs. This product would kill the ants that picked up the bait and also kill the ants back at the colony.

    Q
    using bifen it liquid
    i'm using a garden hose going through a dial and spray that dilutes insect killers and need to know if I can use this kind of sprayer for bifen IT. What ozs. do I use for treating springtails through this dial and sprayer. I purchased the gallon size of bifen IT liquid.
    A
    You can use between .5 and 1 ounce per gallon of water. Depending on how your hose end sprayer is set up, you would need to select one of those two rates on the dial to properly dilute it. Either rate is acceptable for the treatment of springtails.

    Q
    Pre-treating soil with Bifen prior to installing sod.
    I will be installing St. Augustine sod in an area that has moles. Would it be ok to pre-treat the soil with bifen before installing the sod? My hope is to discourage grubs that will attract moles.
    A
    You can absolutely spray the soil with Bifen IT prior to placing down your soil. It will help minimize activity but you will most likely still want to spray over the sod periodically to keep the rest of the population on top of the new sod down.

  • Asked by Dorothy from Pittsburgh, Pa.
    07/05/2013
    Q
    I have been trying to kill springtails w/1oz/gal of BifenIT on my deck. Should this kill on contact?
    I know I have to look for and remove sources of moisture. I have sprayed 3x today and each time I look they seem to have come back. I just want to make a dent in their population numbers for now. Does it take a while for the BifenIT to work?
    A
    We only recommend applying Bifen IT as labeled, which would be once every 30-60days. Over application could cause the insects to become irritated and rapidly reproduce. Bifen IT will kill with in a matter of minutes.

    Q
    Can you mix Bifen IT with cedar wood oil?
    I am trying to keep our property as organic as possible. We tried using cedar wood oil last year to control the mosquitoes and it definitely helped to knock the population down but not to a level we would like. Can we mix a smaller portion of the Bifen IT with the cedar wood oil and then spray with the Solo 451?
    A
    While you can spray Cedar Oil and Bifen IT in the same place for mosquito control we do not recommend mixing the products together. Bifen IT is water based and will not mix with the cedar oil and it could cause the products to be unstable and could also cause clumping which will clog your sprayer.

    Q
    Will Bifenthrin work as well as Suspend or Cy-Kick as a perimeter spray to stop ants and spiders?
    Will Bifenthrin work as well as Suspend or Cy-Kick as a perimeter spray to stop spiders and ants from entering the home? I'd like to use Bifenthrin in my yard to kill mosquitoes and am wondering if I can use Bifenthrin for both my yard and perimeter spray.
    A
    Bifen IT or Talstar P (both bifenthrin productst that work well like Cy-Kick and Suspend SC) would be a great choice to apply on the exterior of the structure and/or the interior of the structure for insect control including ants, spiders and mosquitos.
