    Q
    When should I spray Bifen for pine beetles?
    Apr, May? It has been a dry winter/spring here near Albuquerque. Do I spray earlier because the bugs fly sooner? What is best part of month and/or moisture amounts to spray?
    A

    You should contact your local cooperative extension office to find out the best time to start spraying a product like Bifen IT in your region.  They are more familiar with the timing of insect activity in your area.  We can say that it should be applied monthly through the beetles active months.

  • Asked by Jim from Shorewood, Il
    04/30/2016
    Q
    Can I use Bifen IT for mosquitos near edible vegetation?
    I am looking for an insecticide that takes care of mosquitos and gnats and can be sprayed on or near vegetables. Is there a product that can do this? I read that Bifen IT is not permitted for use on vegetation. Many thanks for the help in advance.
    A

    We would recommend using Hi Yield Indoor/Outdoor Permethrin 10% Insecticide. It is safe for use on edibles and is labeled for mosquitoes. The mixing ratio is 1-3 oz. per 4 gallons of water. This will treat approximately 4000 square feet. This can also be used in your lawn for mosquitoes as well.

    Q
    Can Bifen I/T be mixed with Honor Guard fungicide together in a sprayer for application?
    I am wanting to mix the fungicide and the pesticide in the sprayer to kill two birds with one stone. will this work?
    A

    Yes, you can mix an insecticide like BIfen IT and a fungicide like Honor Guard PPZ together in the same tank as long as niether product label prohibits such mixtures. Be sure always to follow the more restrictive product label and to plan your dilution rates correctly for each product in the volume of water you are using. We suggest a small jar test before mixing a large amount of products together for the first time.

  • Asked by Cheri
    05/23/2010
    Q
    Can I use Bifen IT to treat my trees for little black bugs?
    I treated my trees approximately 10 days ago with Bifen to get rid of leaf miners. Yesterday I noticed that my trees are all turning brown and the leafs are falling. When I looked closer they are all covered with small black bugs. Do I need to treat them with something different or treat them again with Bifen? Will the leaves come back again this year?
    A

    We recommend getting the little black bug identified so that we can properly advise you on treatment options. You can contact your local cooperative extension office for insect identifications.

    Q
    Is it safe to eat basil if Bifen IT was sprayed near it?
    My husband sprayed our lawn with Bifen IT, and there is some basil that are in pots out there. He said he didn't spray the basil, but I am now concerned about whether it can be eaten because it was sprayed near it. What do you think?
    A
    Unless the plants were actually sprayed you do not have to worry. Bifen IT does not move through the soil or turn into a vapor of any sort.

  • Asked by Sandra from The Villages, Florida
    01/12/2012
    Q
    Can Bifin IT turn shrubs black after being sprayed?
    I have two crepe myrtle trees and shrubs.They were sprayed on Tuesday and two days later they appear to have a black coating on them. What happened to the tree and shrubs?
    A
    The ingredients in the Bifen IT are known to be very gentle on trees, shrubs and other vegetation. We have never had a report of Bifen IT causing any type of damage when it is used as directed on the product label. Did you spray the trees yourself or did a company come and spray them? Was anything else added to the spray solution? Were the trees healthy when they were sprayed?

  • Asked by Ken from Jamestown La.
    05/13/2012
    Q
    I want to use Bifen on peeled logs that i am using in a log home for termite protection?
    will this product stain my logs?
    A
    Bifen will not stain the logs as it is a waterbased insecticide. You should note that Bifen will not give your logs lasting protection against termites as it will not be able to penetrate in to the wood. At best a Bifen treatment will last for about 6 weeks. If you want lasting protection you need to use Bora-Care for your application. Bora-Care will penetrate several inches in to the wood and it will last for the life of the wood.
