  • Asked by Barbara from Sebastian, Fl
    09/29/2019
    Q
    How much Bifen XTS do I use for whiteflies?
    I purchased the auto mix sprayer how much do I need for white flies? How will I know when it is no longer in the sprayer? What setting should I use?
    A

    To treat ornamental plants for whiteflies, you can use 0.26 – 1.28 oz of Bifen XTS per 10 gallons of water, per the product label. The rate at which you set your hose-end sprayer will depend on what settings are available, although this is a pretty low rate per gallon of water with the highest rate being 0.128 oz per 1 gallon of water. 1 gallon of water usually treats about 1000 sq ft of turfgrass, so it will likely treat less area if you are treating dense ornamental growth. Be sure you are treating all the leaf surfaces until they are wet but not to the point of runoff.

  • Asked by Chris from Pinehurst Nc
    03/26/2021
    Q
    What time of day is best to use Bifen in a backpack blower sprayer?
    I have heard that certain times of day are much better than others for mosquito control when applying bison with a backpack blower. Is there a better time of day than another?
    A

    We would not recommend using Bifen XTS at temperatures over 85 degrees as this is an oil based product and can burn plants it comes into contact with under extreme heat. We recommend spraying in early morning or late evening.

    Q
    Can Bifen XTS be used with Tomahawk Backpack Fogger?
    i read in Q&A that XTS cannot be used with thermal fogger; can it be used in Tomahawk Backpack Fogger?
    A

    Bifen XTS  cannot be used in a thermal, ulv or propane fogger but can be applied using a backpack sprayer or mist blower If the Tomahawk Backpack Fogger you have works as a mist blower/sprayer similar to the Tomahawk Power Mist Blower TMD14 with Turbo Boost, that would be an acceptable piece of equipment to use for applying Bifen XTS. Please see the product label for complete instructions.

    Q
    Can Bifen XTS be used to treat gypsy moths in the caterpillar stage using a backpack mister?
    A

    Yes, Bifen XTS is labeled to control gypsy moth adults and caterpillars. Per the product label, be sure that you are also applying around the foundation of any structures as well as to the siding of the structure.

    For use on edible plants or more sensitive plants, a product with Bt such as Natural Guard Caterpillar Spray with Bt is a great choice.

  • Asked by Casey
    03/18/2013
    Q
    Do you have to water in the Biffen XTS to treat for chinch bugs?
    A

    According to the manufacturer:

    To maximize efficacy against subsurface pests, apply Bifen XTS with a non-ionic surfactant in enough water to ensure the spray penetrates to soil-thatch matrix. Irrigate treated areas with 0.25 to 0.5 inches of water immediately following application taking special care to prevent run-off or puddling.

  • Asked by Tim from Omaha, Ne
    06/17/2013
    Q
    I have a spider mite(I think) and springtail problem that is getting out of control. Would this work for both?
    The mites are red and kind of hard. Not like clover mites that just squish and leave a red mark. I have tried a handful of pesticides from my local store and it looks like the mites are getting worse(hundreds)....I can see when they are laying eggs on my siding..... please help. Also, springtails are everywhere....this is getting out of control.
    A
    First, we recommend contacting Your Local Cooperative Extension Office to positively identify what type of mite. after positive identification we can properly recommend a successful game plan to treat this pest. Also, please check out our article "How to Get Rid of Bird Mites in the Home".  We also have an article for silverfish control titled "Silverfish Pest Control".

    Q
    We need a control for winter moth caterpillar on fruit trees. We are located in Massachusetts.
    A
    We do not recommend applying Bifen XTS to edibles. For treating fruit trees for moth caterpillars, we would recommend applying Bonide Fruit Tree Spray. Please refer to the product label for complete mixing and application times for the fruits on your trees. Please let us know if you need anything else.

    Q
    I just purchased Bifen XTS -1 quart -They told me at the lawn & garden I could use this inside house
    As well as outside just make sure it dries where sprayed. Is this true?
    A

    We apologize but you have been misinformed. Bifen XTS is not labeled for indoor use for general pest control. We do carry Bifen IT which contains the same active ingredient as the Bifen XTS but is a water based formula and can be used inside as directed on the label.
