Customer Reviews for Bifen IT

My main target was more of the Boxelder bug on the outside of the house than the roach's inside.They were all over the driveway weeded cracks on the ground and stuff. Followed the instructions about mixing it with water and shake it up a lil bit. Upon spraying a wide sweep of the long drive way as well as nearly dousing a few shrubs. They definitely were running upon spraying.. I decide to play the waiting game after. Lost count of days and weeks... Where they go!? Hardly if ANY around. YES!!! For the roaches. Used Gentrol in the mix. I ended up spraying the whole place borders: rooms, kitchen area, living room, closets and where ever there's a crack space. Used at another family members place as well. Little by little at a time. They are hardly coming out. Maybe, a permanent game of hide-and-go-seek? lol Anyways, I am hell of impressed. The small bottle alone yields quite a bit.

I have been trying to get rid of water bugs for two years with boric acid , it was ok but not good enough . One day when I was on line , I typed in how to get of water bugs and DMOPC was one of the website that popped up. I read the reviews some good some not but enough was good and the price was right so I decided it could not hurt to give it a try . I watched the video on how to spray the product and did just that . I must say I am very very happy with Bifen IT , If a water bug get into my house by the time I see it it's dead , I see insects dead all the time on the outside including Bumble Bees . I spray every three months and I tell anyone about it that has a insect problem .The price is great and the product goes a long way . I will continue to use this product . If you have a insect problem give it a try but the one thing I did learn is you have to measure the correct amount of Bifen to the correct amount of water . Just because I can't stand water bugs I always mix the highest dose which is 1 oz Bifen to 1 gallon of water . I hope anyone that decides to use this product have great results like I did . Thanks a million DMOPC

The jury is still out. I bought this because it seemed to be the best priced for the number of applications and lots of reviews, that's why 3 stars instead of 2. I live in the boonies of San Diego County with hundreds of acres of open land around the house. About two weeks ago I applied it full strength once around the entire perimeter of the house, and a few areas in the garage where i could see the floor (haha) and a few spots in the house because of my full garage and because of stuff still on the floor perimeter inside the house. Two stars on performance so far because I still see daddy long leg spiders & saw one black widow a few minutes ago in the garage and yesterday a few odorous ants & a few crazy ants have been the problem this season. I am surmising that some spiders might have actually been killed, whereas the others still alive may not be living exactly near where I sprayed. So I'll spray again and see what happens. At this good price i have plenty of applications left. With full disclosure, it rained about 24 hours after I sprayed outside. FYI- several months ago, my homemade borax & peanut butter and sugar solution killed about 98% of the odorous ants inside the house in about 2-4 days [gotta keep it wet, cause it hardens in one day].

Ive had Crazy Raspberry Ants for about two years. In fact, my whole neighborhood has them. Billions of them. I've tried Termidor, Talstar, Demon WP and Cyper WP (same as Demon). I tried several different ant baits. All were effective in killing them. The dead ones were piling up like coffee grounds but they kept coming. I have a large barn and a house and driveways and sidewalks. The Crazies would surround the house and barn and walk crazy trails along the edges of the concrete. Thankfully, they didn't try to enter the structures but I figured they were just waiting for an opportunity. It was disturbing to see so many of them and nothing really deterred them. Then I tried Bifen IT. I bought the ¾ gallon size and I mixed 14 gallons (per the directions) at a time in a power sprayer – just like I did with the other insecticides. I sprayed about two feet up the exterior walls of my structures and about two to three feet out into the yard. I sprayed the ant trails along the edges of the driveways and sidewalks. There were billions of dead ones but the live Crazies left for about a month. Then they came back. I treated everything again and they left for about six weeks. Then they came back again. I just did another treatment today, it's August. I expect them to leave again but I figure they will come back eventually. But at least the Bifen IT gets rid of them for weeks at a time and it doesn't seem to be diluted too much by rain. I think they avoid the Bifen IT and just hang out in the yard where I can't see them but at least I get some relief from the pests. I've seen that colder weather makes them go dormant but they really go crazy when it's hot. The only thing they are good for is I no longer have any fire ants anywhere in my three acre yard. A University entomologist told me they would eventually move out of the area but it could take a few years.

We love our property but it's a breeding ground for mosquitoes with a pond and thick woods surrounding us. After living there for 6 years I thought we'd never get to enjoy a summer without the annoyance of swatting mosquitoes and slathering on mosquito repellant. Mosquito Squad quoted us $1000 to treat my property for the year. I couldn't justify such a cost so I tried everything to get rid of them myself: Mosquito Bits for the standing water, bat houses, bug zappers, weekly fogging, garlic spray, Mosquito Beater, cutting the grass shorter, burning citronella torches - I mean everything! Some things helped a little but I thought we would never live our lives without bug spray or the constant annoyance of getting eaten alive. One day my neighbor was over at our house and recommended Bifen I/T which is what he uses. I found it on this website and gave it a try. I applied it at 1oz/gallon with my 12V ATV sprayer on everything that was green and within a 30 yard radius of our house. I cannot believe the difference it has made! I sprayed once about 6 weeks ago and have not needed to spray again. I can understand how it kills on contact but I can't understand how the residual effect is so good. We can now enjoy our yard well into the evening without ever thinking about mosquitoes. This product changed our lives and I will continue to buy it on this website as long as they keep selling it.

I bought Bifen IT because I saw it so highly recommended on this website. I had seen at least one cockroach each day since moving into our new house, so I knew that it needed spraying. The instructions for the Bifen IT product were clear and easy to understand. I also got a 2-gallon sprayer to use, and it worked really well. I sprayed around the foundation up to 3 feet and about 2 feet away from the house, along with any other cracks and crevices around doors, etc. I haven't seen any cockroaches in the 6 weeks since I sprayed. It's amazing! I did find a dead one outside the house around the perimeter of the porch. This stuff really works. For the price, it's a bargain, and you can save yourself a lot of money by taking the hour or so to completely do your house. I plan on re-spraying every 3 months to keep the bugs out. If you're looking for a good deal on pest control, do it yourself with Bifen IT. I also had some questions about how to use it and the customer support people here on the site were very prompt and helpful.

As usual...DoMyOwn shipped this container of Bifen IT promptly (Along with a couple of other needed products) at a very fair price and shipping included as well. I'm beginning to really like bifenthrin the more I use it. I pay attention to ongoing results and since the usual rate is 1 oz per gallon or 2.5 oz for 4,000 square feet of lawn per label rates for fleas, the results I am seeing are very positive I was brought into the industry towards the end of the reign of organophophates and the resulting science allowing the use of far far less insecticide doses/exposure using synthetics such as bifenthrin... lessening the danger of insecticide chronic or acute buildup in our bodies. Products like bifenthrin honestly perform much better than organophosphates and are economical as a rule to boot! As always....you need to *READ THE LABEL* and follow the directions on the label...it is the law and you will also not over apply bifenthrin or any insecticide. All of your questions will be answered if you read the entire label. All insecticide labels can be a little confusing but the answers are there. Always bear in mind about synthetics...More is not better!! Let the chemical do it's job. Bifen IT is a very good product and when applied correctly, bifenthrin will get pest insects under control very quickly.

This is the product that Mosquito Joe uses and charged me $86.00 every three weeks to keep mosquitoes at bay. With the virus this year money has been tight so decided to order and do it myself. They use the big fogger type sprayer, but again dollars are tight - so used my pump sprayer. I live in the woods with alot of undergrowth ringing my house which I'm working on clearing. The mosquitoes would eat me alive in the afternoon and evening. I sprayed around the border of the brush areas and also made a circle around my garden. It took 2 gallons to do back and side yard along with the garden area.....There was enough to do part of the front. By the next evening I got one bite and none today. For the large area I do - it will take me about 30 to 45 minutes to do the whole area and I'd guess maybe one more gallon. Way cheaper than a pro....works just as well. I recommend this to anyone who is suffering from pesky mosquitoes.
