    Q
    Will a large amount of rainfall decrease effectiveness of the Bifen Granules?
    I put down a 10 foot wide barrier of Bifen granules in the lawn around our house to keep carpenter ants from entering. I planned to take advantage of natural rainfall to water the granules into the lawn. Unfortunately, what was forecast to be rain showers turned out to be 4 inches of rain as measured in our rain gauge. I don't think the water actually ran off and took the insecticide with it. However, will just the large amount of rainfall decrease its effectiveness in the soil? Should I apply another treatment?
    A

    A large amount of rain fall should not take away the effectiveness of Bifen Granules. especially if there was no run off. You would want to reapply in 2 months time.

    Q
    What number do I use for a Scotts Speedy Green rotary spreader for application of Bifen Granules?
    A

    We don't have the exact spreader setting for your model spreader. The easiest way to determine the correct setting to apply Bifen Granules is as follows: 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 appl…

    Q
    Are Bifen Granules safe to use in a yard with dogs? I'm wanting to kill ticks and fleas, is this going to work?

    Bifen Granules should be broadcast with a spreader and watered in and completely dry before allowing pets in the treated areas. They will be safe once dried. The Bifen Granules would be a great treatment for many insects but if you are treating for ticks and fleas, we highly recommend applying the p…

    Q
    Should I use Bifen L/P Granules or Bifen IT?
    I recently bought Bifen IT. I was looking into the Bifen granules but it appears the liquid covers over 10x more square footage than the granules for the same price. Is there a benefit to using the granules on the lawn over the concentrate and a hose sprayer or is it just convenience?
    A

    Bifen IT and Bifen Granules are both great to use. Many of our customers keep both on hand so they can spray to exterior of structures/entry points and to interior crevices as well as the lawn and foliage. The liquid offers a 30 day outdoor residual while the granules will last a bit longer - about…

    Q
    I believe I have springtails in my home. They are very small, pale or black. How can I get rid of spring tails?
    Tried to kill the bugs. They are around almost all of the windows in my home. I also find them on the air conditioners. Several websites mention Bifen granules to kill them. Is there an effective spray that I can use to kill them? It must be something strong. I have already tried bleach and some pest control sprays that I found at Home Depot. Please let me know if you can help.
    A

    Spring tails can be tough to eliminate because they reproduce very quickly. In almost every case where people have spring tails, they also have a moisture problem such as a leaking or sweating pipe, poor ventilation in their crawl space, lots of wet mulch right up next to their house, etc. You must …

    Q
    When is the best time to apply Bifen Granules to treat for Cicada killers?
    The Cicada Killer males are flying around like crazy but no holes in lawn yet.
    A

    For preventative control, applying the Bifen Granules now will treat before the Cicada Killers start burrowing into the ground and help reduce the population. Once they have started to burrow and make holes in the ground, then you can apply the Tempo 1% Dust. Also, the Bifen LP Granules would not yi…

    Bifen granules can not be used indoors as this is a product designed to be watered in after placed down, and this application would not work indoors.
