    Q
    Can I use Bifen IT in an electrostatic sprayer? If so, how much should I mix with water?
    A

    Bifen IT can be applied in a hand pump sprayer, backpack sprayer and mist blower. We recommend contacting the manufacturer of the sprayer for recommended products to be used with your equipment. Most applications are applied at 0.5 – 1 fl oz per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft. Please refer to the product label for full application and mixing instructions for the targeted pest.

    Q
    Can I use Biden inside my house? And where or how, I.e., floor baseboards, etc. ?
    I have an infestation of small black bugs and not all but as far as I can tell they are flying. Mostly at night when I am in the bed. They are a nuisance and get in my hair. I use your product outside and it almost completely eradicates the mosquito and other unwanted bugs.
    A
    Bifen IT is labeled to be used indoors. Please make sure to refer to product label for instructions to prior use. Use 0.33 to 1 fluid oz. per gallon of water for residual pest control in buildings and structures and on modes of transport. Apply either as a crack and crevice, pinstream, spot, coarse, low pressure spray (25 psi or less).

    Q
    Will this work for flies or ants?
    I know it said not for food-producing plants but what about cucumbers and berries? Does citrus count? If can can’t eat it can my pet? If I did eat it should I email and wait for an answer or call poison control?
    A

    Bifen IT will control both ants & flies that come in contact with the residual. This product is not labeled to be applied to edibles of any sort. If you or your pet consumed edibles that were sprayed with this product, you will need to contact poison control.

    Q
    Can I use Bifen IT to treat my trees for little black bugs?
    I treated my trees approximately 10 days ago with Bifen to get rid of leaf miners. Yesterday I noticed that my trees are all turning brown and the leafs are falling. When I looked closer they are all covered with small black bugs. Do I need to treat them with something different or treat them again with Bifen? Will the leaves come back again this year?
    A

    We recommend getting the little black bug identified so that we can properly advise you on treatment options. You can contact your local cooperative extension office for insect identifications.

    Q
    Are the caterpillars bleeding out?
    I had a pest control company do my quarterly treatment and they sprayed Bifen on my outside walls where there were caterpillars. After the spraying, I had red trails all over the walls and now have stained the walls. How come this is and does this product do this?
    A
    We have never had a report of bleeding caterpillars in the past. We recommend that you contact the pest control company that sprayed your home or the Bifen IT manufacturer Control Solutions for more information. Control Solutions: (281) 892-2500

    Q
    Is it wise to use Bifen IT along with Actellic?
    A
    We are unfamiliar with Actellic. We recommend that you contact the manufacturer directly to seek advice on whether or not you should supplement their product with a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide such as Bifen IT.

    Q
    Can Bifin IT turn shrubs black after being sprayed?
    I have two crepe myrtle trees and shrubs.They were sprayed on Tuesday and two days later they appear to have a black coating on them. What happened to the tree and shrubs?
    A
    The ingredients in the Bifen IT are known to be very gentle on trees, shrubs and other vegetation. We have never had a report of Bifen IT causing any type of damage when it is used as directed on the product label. Did you spray the trees yourself or did a company come and spray them? Was anything else added to the spray solution? Were the trees healthy when they were sprayed?

  • Asked by Ken from Jamestown La.
    05/13/2012
    Q
    I want to use Bifen on peeled logs that i am using in a log home for termite protection?
    will this product stain my logs?
    A
    Bifen will not stain the logs as it is a waterbased insecticide. You should note that Bifen will not give your logs lasting protection against termites as it will not be able to penetrate in to the wood. At best a Bifen treatment will last for about 6 weeks. If you want lasting protection you need to use Bora-Care for your application. Bora-Care will penetrate several inches in to the wood and it will last for the life of the wood.

    Q
    I have treated raspberries bushes and strawberries with Bifen I/T, are they safe?
    From your previous answers I understand that I can't eat them this season. And if I will move them to another safe spot, will it be safe to eat them next season or should I just throw them away? Thank you!
    A
    Normally after changing the soil and waiting a full growing season the plants should be safe, however we would feel more comfortable letting the experts at the manufacturer tell you for sure. You can reach Control Solutions at (281) 892-2500. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Asked by Kathrin from San Antonio, Tx
    05/23/2014
    Q
    How do I get rid of Springtails that I'm seeing in the toilet?
    A

    A presence of springtails means there is usually a moisture issue under the house or around the house.  Springtail eradication depends on eliminating the moisture source.  If the springtails are breeding from under the slab, then the granules around the outside of the house will not effect them and they will be able to get into the house.  It is imperative to correct any moisture issues or water that puddles up against the house.  You could use Bifen IT inside and on the house outside for some extra killing power in addition to the granules.

    Typically, pesticides alone will not take care of a springtail problem.  It is required to fix whatever moisture issue is causing the problem.  You should read our "How To Get Rid of Springtails" article for further information

    Q
    What is the best and most affordable all around insecticide and pesticide for the widest variety of insects
    I'm building a new home and I want to treat everything inside and out. I have birds, so if I have to get something different for the inside, then that's fine. I want something powerful for the outside. I live about a mile from a large lake, and on the west side of Spokane, Washington. I have lots of woods on this country property. I would like to know what's the best, for the pests in this area. I would also like options of natural and man made products, and knowing which ones work the best. Please let me know, so I can get started. Thank You.
    A
    Bifen IT is one of our best all around products for indoor outdoor pest control.
    Bifen IT is considered a general use insecticide and is labeled for outside and inside use. It is odorless, and very safe to use around children or pets. The general rule is that while spraying you keep children or pets in another room or outside to play. After about one hour, it should be dry and it is perfectly safe to allow kids and/or pets back in the room. This product is only strong enough to kill tiny insects, and would have no effect on animals like rabbits, etc.

    Q
    Can Bifen IT 25.1% get into my well water if I spray the pines trees and the ground every 5 months?
    A
    Bifen IT does not move through the soil more than a few inches. You should apply it at least 5 ft away from the well. Please refer to the product label for additional mixing and application instructions for what you are treating for.

    Q
    I NEED SOMETHING TO KILL ALL KINDS OF INSECTS IN MY BACK YARD;ALSO FRUIT TREES
    BUT IT MUST BE ANIMAL SAFE BECAUSE I HAVE TWO SMALL DOGS THAT CHEW ON THE GRASS.
    A

    A good product to broadcast across your lawn is called Bifen I/T. It treats for various types of pests and can be used both inside along the baseboards, cracks and crevices and outside as well as a broadcast across the lawn. It is safe for pets when it is dry so remove the dogs from the area while spraying. This product is not labeled for fruit trees.

     

    For fruit trees, I would recommend Monterey Fruit Tree Spray Plus. It is broadly labeled product that can be used on edibles.

    Q
    How to control springtail fleas inside and outside the home
    They are especially prevalent around the bathtub. Also there is an empty lot next door where some trees hav recently been cut down. Piles of wood chips and sawdust.
    A
    Please view our article "How to get Rid of Springtails". This article contains everything you need to know to treat for springtails. You would want to use a dust in wall voids and a residual spray like Bifen IT around the perimeter and indoors cracks and crevices.

    Q
    Can I use Bifen I/T at my camp site by a creek? Once it drys would rain runoff still hurt aquatic life?
    What if deer were to eat treated grass or trees?
    A
    We do not recommend applying Bifen IT close to a creek due to the possiblity of runoff. We do carry an insecticide called EcoVia EC that can be applied close to water without harm to aquatic organisms.
