    I am using a a garden hose sprayer and I am wondering how much to use of Bifen IT to use on my yard for cranefly larvae?

    In most cases it is not necessary to use an insecticide for crane fly larvae control. If damage is severe we would recommend using 1 fl oz of Bifen IT per gallon of water to cover each 1,000 sq ft for the initial treatment and then .5 fl oz per gallon of water for follow up treatments.

    Q
    Is Bifen IT bee-safe?
    Is Bifen IT toxic to honeybees? I am looking for effective control for mosquitos, fleas, and spiders (including brown recluse), but am concerned about increased risk to a dwindling bee population.
    A
    Bifen IT is not a selective insecticide and it will kill any insects that come into contact with treated areas. You can reduce the risk to your bees by keeping applications away from areas where the bees are actively foraging and at times when the bees are not active in general. You may also consider using Mavrik Perimeter insecticide for outdoor pests, which is non-repellent and non-toxic to honeybees after it is dried. You will want to read the product label to see if this fits your needs.

    Q
    I used Diazinon for years. Do you have an equivalent product?
    I sprayed for ticks, mosquitoes, and general yard insects. It was very effective. I have tried several products since and nothing works as well. Your suggestions?
    A

    Yes, we do have products that are comparable to Diazinon since it has been outlawed due to safety regulations. We would recommend Bifen IT. It is great for indoor and outdoor use. Indoors, you will spray along the baseboards and cracks and crevices. It lasts for 90 days. Outdoors, you can broadcast across your lawn, spray along the perimeter of your home, on flowers and also ornamentals. This lasts for 30 days outside. This product is not labeled to be sprayed on edibles. It is labeled for ticks, mosquitoes and various other pests as well.

     

    If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

  • Asked by Nancy from Waltham, Ma

    Q
    What works on cluster flies that come into my log cabin and hover around the sunny windows every autumn?
    My log home is in Andover ME
    A

    Bifen IT can be used to help control cluster flies indoors and outdoors. If the cluster flies have already made their way indoors, they will be harder to control because they usually hide in a wall void or other inaccessible area and are only visible when the house warms up. If the cluster flies are in an attic or drop ceiling or other dark area, a fly light would do a great job controlling the population. Using small fly lights such as the Fly Web in the house would also help to catch the flies. Spray Bifen IT directly on baseboards, window frames, door frames, and places where utilities (pipes, wires, cables) enter in to the building and any other crack, crevice or gap where insects can enter.

    Here is an article that will give you a little bit more information on cluster flies and cluster fly control methods: How to get rid of cluster flies

    I'm looking for the best spray to use indoors and outdoors.
    I want the best all around product that will help me rid myself of all common bugs in and around my house without any residue left on the carpet. Currently, I'm on a quarterly program but just would like to be able to do it myself to my expectations without relying on someone else to do it when they schedule. This product needs to be pet safe also, could you advise me on which one to use? Thanks for your help

    Q
    Bifen IT was used near raspberry bushes, what to do?
    My wife sprayed the lawn and around the house with Bifen I/T at a rate of 1 oz/ gallon. While spraying she became concerned that she may have gotten some on our raspberry bushes and within 10-15 minutes of spraying she thoroughly sprayed them with clear well water. Should we be concerned about eating the raspberries as they are ready to be harvested?
    A
    It is typically recommended to dispose of anything edible that could have been sprayed during a treatment with Bifen IT.

    Q
    How does Bifen IT work on bumble bees?
    A

    Bifen IT will kill any bees that land on the treated surfaces, especially if they are foraging. It offers a 30 day outdoor residual and eradicates over 75 other listed insects. We recommend avoiding spraying on flowering plants or in other areas where pollinators may be active. You should also avoid spraying in the middle of the day when these insects are most active.

  • Asked by Kenneth from Bailey, Nc

    Q
    Will Bifen IT diminish the gnat population on my property?
    I live in Nash county NC. We have a very bad problem with gnats. How do I stop them ? I have 1 acre land mostly trees.
    A

    There are a few ways to keep the number of gnats down. You can invest in a misting system that periodically sprays a pyrethrin insecticide in your yard. This system is a lot like a sprinkler system. We do not carry the actual mister system but we do carry the insecticide that is used in it called Riptide. If you want to get something you can just spray you can try Talstar P. Gnats that land on the treated areas will be eliminated. Talstar P will not repel the gnats from the area nor will it kill the gnats that do not land on the treated areas.
