Bifen has been working well as a perimeter spray but I noticed one bug that it is not stopping are earwigs. They even come up to the second floor. Should I consider using something else? I know residual sprays are not instant and earwigs are not social so not sure if any other can do better. Advice?
Bifen IT is great product for perimeter control. The label recommends using it at a rate of 0.5 oz per gallon of water and it can be reapplied every 30 days. If you’ve been using it for a long time and no longer getting results, you can rotate to a different product, like Demand CS. If you are seeing activity indoors, you can spray on baseboards, cracks and crevices. You may also want to apply a dust into the wall voids like Delta Dust. We would recommend reading over our Getting Rid of Earwigs article for further tips and information.
