    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).

    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?

    Bifen IT is labeled to treat for bed bugs and should only be applied as a crack and crevice application.

    Q
    Does Bifen IT kill bed bugs?
    A

    Bifen IT is only labeled for bed bugs inside of livestock housing. We would recommend using Temprid SC instead. It has two active ingredients in it that work together to combat bed bugs. Be sure to do treatments every 10-14 days until you do not see activity for 30 days.

    Q
    I have a baseball field to spray for fire ants. What rate do you use Bifen IT at and how much to cover approx. two acres?
    A

    The best control will be achieved by using broadcast treatments in combination with mound drenches when using Bifen IT. This will control present colonies along with foraging workers and newly mated fly-in queens. It is critical either to use high volume treatments or to irrigate prior to application if the soil is dry. Apply 1 fl. oz. per 1,000 square feet when using broadcast treatments. For mound drenches, dilute 1 teaspoon of Bifen I/T per gallon of water and use 1 to 2 gallons of finished dilution using sufficient force to penetrate the top and allow dilution to flood ant channels. Treat a four foot diameter around each ant mound. Application should be made in late evening or early morning when it is cooler (65

    Q
    Can I use Taurus SC or Termidor Foam after I've already sprayed Bifen in a wall for termites?
    I've sprayed a lot of Bifen in walls where termites are present . I have ordere Taurus SC from your company . I hav lots of holes drilled in walls . Can I spray Termidor foam in those same holes ?? I have just read Bifen is a repellent . Hav I messed up spraying Bifen in the walls ?
    A

    If you have already sprayed bifenthrin, then we would advise waiting at least 30 days to apply a non-repellent such as Taurus or Termidor Foam. The Bifen will have a faster kill than the non-repellents, so it does not offer the same transfer effect and would over-power either of these insecticides if applied in the same area. In the future, it is best to spot treat active infestations with non-repellents whenever possible.

    Q
    What can I mix with Bifen that will give it more residual to help break the flea cycle?
    A

    Bifen IT can be mixed with an insect growth regulator such as Nyguard IGR to break the flea cycle.  Nyguard IGR will prevent the young from maturing into reproducing adults, thereby keeping the colony from getting larger while the Bifen works to eliminate.  Bifen should be applied every 2 weeks outside for flea treatment and Nyguard once a month.
