Customer Reviews for Bifen IT

I live in Mississippi on a Acre of land. Me and my in-laws have a house on it. Behind us is just wood's. The house where built this year 2021. There is a lot of homes going up in our area and that means lots of bug. We have spent so much money on pests Companies to come out and spray. All companies say the same thing if you see anything we'll be back and they always come back. My wife was bitten by a Brown recruis That was 5 months ago and still is not the same. Uh getting online looking for other options I came across this company. Looking at them online there's so much information and so many products that can be overwhelming I did not know what you really need. Looking at all the reviews on their products they seem to have a whole bunch of good ones everybody We'll say what a great product they have. Part of me thought it was fake Reviews. So I emailed the company to find out what I would need I told them what I was dealing with and they recommended this product. Extremely skeptical of this working I went ahead and got it anyways and thought I've tried everything else we'll see if this works. After applying it I got up the next morning and saw dead bugs and cockroaches. Have not seen one in the house since I have sprayed. This company is extremely knowledgeable about what they do which is get rid of pests among other things. This company is the real deal. This is a fantastic product and what a great company. They are more than willing to help you in any way they can in a customer service is just a 5 star. I would recommend this to anybody and if you think you think that this can't be true try it for yourself what do you have to lose what do you have to lose nothing just more bugs so try and watch them go bye bye. No more spiders cockroaches and so many more issues that we've had. I have a one year old a 13 year old my wife and 2 dogs. They could tell me what would work and what wouldn't work what would be safe and what would it be safe. Try it for yourself and see what happens you won't be disappointed. Have a great day and God-bless.

I have been treating our Springtails infestation for, at least, 2 months now. It is an insect that is challenging to eliminate, but I have learned to be patient! I did alot of research and began eliminating our mulch and stones around the perimeter of our house. Than I began using Granules (Delta Gard) and Bifen I/T. I did and still am spraying every 7 days with Bifen I/T. I also spray our house siding with the hose and Bifen I/T separately from the gallon sprayer. Combined I have see a DRAMATIC reduction of these Springtails. Everyday I walk the perimeter of the house and check. I also spray underneath out concrete, since, there was activity there. I will continue to treat aggressively throughout the reamainder of the summer. Bifen I/T is awesome!!!

We purchased our home in 2016 and it had approximately 2 acres of lawn and one acre wooded area. At the time the lawn was covered with fire ant mounds. I started using a product from a big chain store that was a dry powder with a very bad smell. It worked ok but was expensive. Also one of the storage buildings had active termites. I started reading about the different products available to treat myself to be cost effective but also wanted something that was going to protect my home. After much reading I ordered 1 gallon of Biden IT for the ants and 78oz bottle of Taurus for the termites. I am proud to say the products took care of both problems and I didn't have fire ants for a couple years. Then we started using a lawn mowing service to mow the lawn and I guess they must have transplanted some ants from other lawns and we have had more than an abundance of rain this year. Now I have to treat the ants again. I ordered two gallons of Bifen IT from Solutions Pest Control and their response was almost immediate. I have bought from them in the past and I am very pleased with their service. Also I would like to add that another storage building had moderate damage from carpenter bees. The Bifen took care of that as well. I ordered 2 gallons to insure that I always have it on hand.

I reviewed this product earlier upon my first application with a Mistblower (Stihl SR450) and just wanted to update everyone as to how well this product is working for me. I'm typically doing my spraying monthly on my 1/2 acre lot. I'm mixing 8oz of Bifen with 3.5 gallons of water and typically using setting "1" (lowest application volume) on the mistblower. I'm using more Bifen than typically recommended because of the low volume of the application (which gets me appropriate coverage without having the reload the mistblower). Anyway, the results are, simply put, shocking. I've gone from "unable to be outside around dusk because of gnats" to "unable to coax a gnat onto my property". They are just gone; which, in my book, is the best you could ever hope for with a pesticide! And it's so inexpensive on a per treatment basis, I've got no worries about the cost of maintaining this level of pest control. I'm still getting 1000s of dead bugs falling into my pool for a few days after treatment, not the best situation, but not the product's fault! Finally, one final nice side effect is that I have to spray much less inside now. I'm using the mistblower and the Bifen outside the house, and it seems to be keeping the bugs from entering the property at all. In short, Bifen and a mistblower are an incredible combination. If you need to take your yard back from biting nasties, this certainly would be my recommended technique!

I like this better than Malathion and Sevin. I spray our lawn, perennials, annuals, shrubs, trees, rain gutters, under our deck and foundation with Bifen IT. I'm on a wooded acre and spray as much of my property as I can. I give everything a good wet spray with a hose end sprayer which offers more coverage than a tank sprayer. I spray a few days after a rain when everything is dried out. I've always thought that the rain and moisture breeds mosquitoes so that is a good time to spray them. There is no odor. But it's the insect protection that is fantastic. We spend a lot of time outside in the yard and gardens. We also spend a lot of time on our back deck at night. In the past it would be unbearable. This stuff kills bugs dead and keeps killing which seems like weeks at a time. Pesky mosquitoes and gnats are history. If you wanna be able to spend time outside and those flying insects are a problem then this is the stuff you need. I just hope the state doesn't outlaw it.

The first spring in our new house brought with it tiny red bugs crawling all over our concrete patio in the back yard. I'd never seen this insect before, but Internet research revealed them to be clover mites. Mites? Ew. My husband found this website and bought the Bifen IT. The fact that it's Eco-friendly made me very happy, but even better was the fact that it worked! After one application, the mighty mites weren't so mighty, and as a bonus the small army of ants parading around under our feet disappeared as well. Now we use it once a month or so to keep all the nasty critters at bay. Thank you for such a great product!

After finding a few Black Widows in the garage and around the house we decided it was time to take action. With small children at home we didn't want to take any chances for a bite since my kids play in and around those areas. My wife wanted to call in a professional and I told her to wait and lets try this first. I bought the Bifen IT and sprayed around the house and in the garage according to the directions and have had zero issues with insects since (about a month so far). I have noticed no living insects in the garage where as we used to get lots of small spiders and beetles and such. Three of my neighbors have asked where they can get it! We have saved a ton of money over calling in a company. Thanks for a great price on a great product! I will absolutely buy again.

My shrubs were diseased and heavily infested with spider mites, aphids and others - particularly the Viburnums and holy plants. In late October, I sprayed all of my shrubs using a product from the local hardware, and to my surprise, by late Feruary the infestation had spiraled out of control. I used the Bifen-IT 2 oz/gal and followed with a second treatment two weeks later. Now, my shrubs are BUG FREE, healthy and growing like wild fire. I plan to spray every three months to keep them that way. I can't thank you enough for such a wonderful product and the assistance you gave to me in helping me to choose what would work for my problem.

Odor of Bifen IT is minimal and since the majority of pest control calls are for Argentine ants and spiders...label rates give excellent residual activity when placed proactively where ants (And earwigs and pill bugs along with fleas are usually active...gives your pest control insecticide costs an easy ride while creating unfavorable habitats against pest insects. And daddy long legs won't be long lived after bifenthrin is introduced to them. Do Your Own is great about getting ordered products into the reliable shipping logistics channel and my order has never been delayed by an huumpa luumta...and always at a really great price!! Bifen IT...it's working for my company and my customers. Here snd there I add another insecticide such as growth regulators and or a wettable powder when needing a luttle extra kick and longevity. Glad to use Bifen IT

I called the local pest control place to come out and do my yard last year because they had excellent reviews and had a reputation of being the best. They showed up and started spraying. As he worked his way around back, I took a look to see what was in the back of his truck that he had just mixed into the giant tank in the back of his truck. This is the stuff they use that yielded such amazing results. I paid him his $180, went online and ordered this and a backpack sprayer (will review that next). Grand total of about $140-$150 I had enough to do my house, my sisters house, and my two rental properties for atleast a year or two to come. The quart bottle yields 32-96 gallons of mix, which makes this stuff cost as little as $0.25 per gallon. Hard to beat.

We have ticks and mosquitos that I've been treating with Cutter Bug Free Backyard hose end spray but at a cost of $40 every month, I decided to give this a try based on the reviews. Product was easy to use and apply with a new sprayer I purchased. I applied according to instructions on the bottle but three days later, we still had lots of mosquitos so I did a second application. I was sure to spray turf, bushes, undersides of leaves, mulch, etc. I even sprayed into my neighbors' yards. The second application worked better, but we are still seeing more mosquitos than when I used the Cutter product. I'm not giving up though and purchased another bottle and will try again soon.

I was in the pest control industry for eight years and so as an experienced person who has using pesticides such as Demon EC - a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide, I have to say that Bifen IT is fantastic. It was recommended by my brother, a pest control operator, to treat a problem I had with carpenter ants. After applying it as directed (1 oz per gallon) I was able to successfully cut down the population to zero. Obviously it will need reapplication since the EPA has regulated that these chemicals be biodegradable but it's certainly worth the effort. You don't need to hire a company to control your pest problems. Buy this product and follow the directions and you'll be delighted with the results.

I bought 11 acres a year ago and learned very quickly that it has lots of chiggers. That made it difficult to go outside and do much, or even have guests over for fear of them itching for a week! I bought a 50 gallon spray rig for my tractor and I mixed 3/4 gallon this product into it with water. After spraying the property the first time, the property was chigger free for my birthday party where I had a hundred guests out and nobody got a chigger bite! I spray every couple of months, usually waiting until after heavy rains. It has very significantly reduced the flying insects on our patios and the number of scorpians we find in the pool and in the house. This product is super easy to use and it is highly effective! I buy it in 3/4 gallon size because that's perfect to mix a full 50 gallons for my sprayer. I use 100 gallons, which is 1.5 gallons of Bifen IT for 11 acres of property with excellent results.

Last year, I paid 86.00 every three weeks for a professional company to spray for mosquitoes. This year I discovered what product they used and ordered it. While the pros use those heavy fogger type sprayers - I decided to give my good old pump up a try before spending around $300 for a fogger. After spraying, I got almost the same great results.......just a bite every now and then but so much better than before. I am waiting now to see if it lasts past the 3 weeks the pros go by. I'm honestly wondering if they make it weaker for that reason - as other reviewers mentioned it lasting for weeks or even months. I sprayed the shrubs, trees, flower beds and around the exterior of my veggie garden...and sort of here and there on the grass. It took 3 gallons to do a very large area....I bought a quart so that translated into less than 5 dollars and maybe 30 minutes of my time to be skeeter free.....I can't say how it works on other bugs yet...haven't noticed..but I'm happy enough to enjoy my yard and not get bit.

I had been really good about spraying every year but I had a knee replaced and had fallen off my routine - and the roaches were right back. Not just the small dark ones - but the huge 1.5 inch ones too. I found 2 of them on my sticky traps in my kitchen. First I asked DoMyOwn pros about what worked best and they recommended this stuff. I got myself a hose end sprayer and sprayed underneath my house on all sides and then did my fence line. There are DEAD BUGS all over the place!! My neighbor was having issues so she gave me her sprayer and I mixed her some up. It only takes an ounce for a 1 gallon sprayer and now there are dead bugs all over her property too. I am telling you - if you are dealing with roaches you have got to spray a pretty strong chemical EVERY year and then I use the bait that comes in the syringes around my cabinets. It really does keep them down and it is MUCH CHEAPER than the Pest Control people!!!

We've recently had trouble with very small ants coming into the kitchen looking for water. I've always used ortho home defense inside my home for pretty much everything with good results but decided to find something that would work better outside to keep them away from the house in the first place. I'm very pleased with the performance of this insecticide as not only are the ants gone but I see very little insect life at all anymore. Fire ants are terrible in the deep south and I haven't seen a mound since the 1st time I sprayed. In the past throughout the spring, summer and fall I would encounter 5-8 new mounds weekly on 3/4 acre. An added bonus is the eradication of mosquito's - we get ~45" of rain per year in south Louisiana so at times, they are hard to control. Again, haven't seen or heard from one since the first time I sprayed Bifen. Well worth the time, effort and money.

Have a terrible gnat problem down here in S. FL on the intercoastal. Sprayed 6 gallons of this through a mist blower and have seen the best results I've ever experienced on the gnats. My pool has a layer of dead gnats on it (thousands) and the little nasties haven't bitten me since I've sprayed. Only been a day, but the knockdown of this through the mist blower has been pretty incredible. Plenty of dead (larger) bugs showing up around the perimeter of the house as well. I'm only going to say that this product "works well", and not compare it to other chemicals I've tried; because, to be fair, this is my first application with a mist blower (so perhaps the other chemicals would have worked as well applied that way). However, this chemical is significantly less expensive than some of the other's I've used; and, given the volume that gets applied when using a motorized sprayer, it's a great value for doing my 1/2 acre lot. I'll update this review should I notice anything that I don't like (short residual, for example), but, right now (48 hours after spraying) this stuff seems pretty perfect; cheap, works fast and knockdown of pretty much every pest we've got.

I am a homeowner who has been taking care of my own lawn for thirteen years. I have used Bifen I/T to control chinch bugs in my St. Augustine lawn in central Florida (Tampa area) for a year now. It has kept the chinch bugs under control and I have not had damage. I have used other granular products purchased at retail stores over the years and they aren't as effective. Unfortunately, the chinch bugs seem to grow immune to those products after constant use. I first used Bifen I/T that I had purchased at a local nursery. It worked very well. My confidence grew with this product when I found out that my neighbor's professional pest control company uses the exact same product. My neighbor had NO chinch bug damage that entire season. One day I came across DOMYOWNPESTCONTROL while online and couldn't believe how much cheaper it was than my local nursery. I could buy a quart at DOMYOWN for the same price as a pint at the nursery. I received the product within three days with free shipping. I had a great experience with DOMYOWNPESTCONTROL and I highly recommend them. I have already recommended them to my neighbors. FYI, read the label of Bifen I/T on how many other pest it kills. I plan on using it for indoor pest control as well.

Seems to be just as effective as Reclaim I/T- (which are both generic versions of 'Talstar') -keeps my house virtually bug free! But it does have a smell when it's being mixed- so be sure to wear a painter's mask or gas mask. It doesn't have a lingering smell, just be wary of the chemicals. Never had an issue with animals being around it- my pup doesn't seem bothered by it, but I keep him away from it in another room while it's wet. He's played around the grass and eaten plants that had been previously sprayed (but dried). Nothing happened thankfully. When I first moved into my dad's brand new house out of neglect he had gathered a population of earwigs, small roaches, spiders, springtails, and ants- now he has a super clean, bug-free home that we can both be comfortable in. This product definitely gives me peace of mind- and I don't wake up in the middle of the night startled by a roach or any other unwelcome guest. I use it with a chemically resistant spray bottle and it works just fine! I 'nuke' the house every 3 months, using a 1 oz concentration per 1 gallon for both the inside and outside of our home. Works very well for both. After 3-4 heavy rains outside it needs to be reapplied outdoors. It's almost thrilling how much control this gives you over having to hire an exterminator. You say when, where, and how! You can even help other relatives once you get the simple process down. Knocked off a star for the smell- really didn't like it. Reclaim I/T didn't have that smell, but at $50 per 16oz this is a better deal- we paid $50 for 1 GALLON!

I went around in circles with various types of yard/grass ants for a couple of years. I didn't mind the ants, it was the nest/hill they made and made and made! I used all of the store products for such an issue with minimal to no results. I used Max Force Insect granuals with a bit of success but it did kill some grass too. Finally I stumbled onto Bifen lt as I continued to fight the battle. Very happy with my initial results last year and I kept after the little buggers as I saw their hill. I did a more general spray on a larger area of grass when I saw several hills starting to appear. This year, I am thrilled (and a bit surprised) to report only a couple of little ant hills have appeared but nothing like before. I spray that hill and it eliminates that hill and don't see more hills appearing. We live in northern Mn with very sandy soil that ants love. This product has been a perfect answer, finally, to my frustrating ants in the yard/grass issue of the past. I use 1oz of Bifen to 1 gallon of water so application costs are very reasonable and simple with a hand held sprayer. I am not stupid but the included directions are confusing. The DoMyOwnPestControl company has been excellent. Thank you.

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 purchased this product (at the best price I could find btw) in a effort to knock down the amount of mosquitoes in my yard. I live in the woods, with lots of leaves and a nearby swamp. Last year's as well as this year's spring have been very very rainy, which means lots of water around to breed Mosquitoes...Nothing I could do about that. They would swarm my car windows upon entering my driveway. It was unbearable to even walk from my car to the house, parked inside an attached garage. Using our yard was hopeless without heavy application of high Deet % bug repellents, and even that wasn't enough to stop from having to constantly swat at them. Not fun, practical, or good for us, especially our young kids. I generally don't like using poisons, but we honestly were to the point of talking about moving as the mosquitoes were simply too much. I applied Bifen as directed to the underside of my deck, underside of all my plants in the yard, and the perimeter plants and fallen leaves in the woods. Took about 6 gallons in a pump sprayer. That means 6 oz of Bifen. The effect was noticeable the next day, and even more so the following day. I can now use my yard freely without repellent. Still have a few mosquitoes, but NOTHING like it was. I did get eaten alive while spraying. This stuff does not appear to knock them down right away. Don't be surprised or disappointed by that. It will work. I've also used this around all my points of entry on my house to control ants and spiders. Which it appears effective as well. As a bonus, I've gone through my yard and sprayed a few second burst down the holes of the large ant population that was killing my grass and have seen dramatic results as well. I continue to see a normal amount of (for my area) dragon flys in my yard, tree frogs on my deck, as well as toads in the grass, birds by day, and bats at night. I can only assume they are largely unaffected, their welfare was a concern for me as I enjoy ALMOST all the wildlife in the yard. I've had no problems with the product clogging my sprayer. It seems to mix well at the proper ratio. I pour in measured amount of product, then add required water. I usually give it a couple shakes too for good measure. With the absurd amount of flooding rain my area has continued to receive, its been about a month, and I feel I need to reapply. Dry season the effects will likely last longer. No worries though, as to date, I've used a total of maybe 15oz, out of the 96oz jug. At this rate, the 40 some dollar jug will last me longer than it's shelf life of a couple years. I'll likely offer some to my neighbors for their yards as it will benefit all of us to have a larger treated area.
