Bifen granules can be used for eliminating a variety of insects in a lawn, however it would have no effect on moles currently in your yard. When treating for an animal you must treat for the animal directly, not indirectly. You would want to look over our Mole Control Guide and see what the options are for mole treatments to find the one that best suits your needs. There are step by step instructions and pro tips to help you get the most from your treatments. You can use poisons, traps, gassers, and in some instances repellents although that would be used more so after a problem had already been eliminated from the yard. Poisons worms like Talpirid are the most effective, however if you do not follow the instructions strictly and test the runs for multiple days before placing the worms in the designated areas you will fail every time. If you need assistance on how to place baits to have them work for your needs feel free to give us a call and we can go over the application with you and make sure you are not doing anything that could be working against your treatment.
A 25lb Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules covers 5,000 to 10,000 square feet depending on the insects you are trreating for.
Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules does include armyworms as a target pest on the label. Application rate of 1.15 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft.

Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules should not be applied during rain as the granules will start to break down/begin to work and be active when contacted with water. While applying you do not want the granules to get wet and possibly clump in your spreader
Talstar works well for both the mature and the immature spider mites. It provides optimal spider mite control when applied during spring to mid-summer. Higher application rates and/or more frequent treatments may be required for acceptable spider mite control during mid to late-summer. The addition of a surfactant or horticultural oil may increase the effectiveness of Talstar. Talstar applications may be rotated with other products that have different modes of action in control programs that are designed to manage resistance by two-spotted spider mites. Avid 0.15 Miticide is another product that can be used for spider mites. Mix with water and apply as a foliar spray to obtain uniform coverage. For mites, apply when mites first appear and repeat as necessary to maintain control. Consult your local Cooperative Extension Service for resistance management recommendations in your region.
Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules can be put down before rain.
This product can be applied to mulched areas, however, we would recommend pulling the mulch back and applying the Bifen Granules directly to the soil. Please be sure to review the product label for more information and complete application instructions.
We are not sure why this product does not have roaches on the label, but it is the same product as Talstar PL Granules, and roaches are listed on the Talstar granule product label.
We don't have the exact spreader setting for your model spreader. The easiest way to determine the correct setting for you needs is outlined below:
If you need to use 3lbs of product per 1,000 sq ft you would add 3 lb of product to spreader, start with a medium setting, then apply product to a 20 x 50 ft area (1,000 sq ft). If you have product left, your setting is too low. If you run out of product, your setting is too high

Bifen L/P Granules are easy to spread and will protect your lawn from millipedes and other pests for 2 to 3 months. Bifen IT is a great residual liquid formulation that is added to water and applied with a low-pressure sprayer can provide a powerful residual that continues working for 4 to 8 weeks following application. This residual liquid formulation can be sprayed along the outside perimeter of the home (especially under and around eaves, decks, patios, and window shutters), and inside along baseboards, in cracks and crevices, and other potential millipede harborages. You will know the residual is working because you will begin finding only dead millipedes rather than live ones. A lot of moisture are great thriving areas they prefer.
