    Bifen IT has a residual of up to 2 months indoors and out. As long as the product was dried, before the rain, it should not have washed away.

  • Asked by Mike from Mercer, Wisconsin

    Q
    When using Bifen I/T 7.9% as a lawn mosquito control, will it kill the beneficial dragonflies?
    It's pleasant to watch the dragonflies gorging on mosquitoes as they fly around the yard and help us out as they feed. Since my wife already sprayed most of the turf, I hope the dragonflies (quite large ones) are not affected by alighting on the grass.
    A
    The Bifen IT is not a selective insecticide so were a dragon fly to land on a surface sprayed with the Bifen it could die from it. It can help to avoid main landing areas for the dragonflies if you do not want to lower the population around the home.

    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?

    May Bifen IT be applied via low volume backpack sprayer technique?
    If my backpack sprayers output is 64oz per 1000 sq. ft., is it ok to use this for broadcast or partial application to turf and wooded areas? I.e. 0.5oz Bifen IT per 64oz water per 1000 sq. ft. instead of 128oz.
    A
    Yes, per the label, low volume equipment can be used for an application of Bifen IT as long as the highest label rate of 1 oz per 1,000 square feet or 43.5 fl. oz. per 100 gallons is not exceeded.

  • Asked by Derek from Lakeville, Indiana
    03/25/2021
    Q
    Can I add a colored dye for application to ensure overlapping and coverage of Bifen I/T?
    I've just purchased 10 acres, and a home on the property. In just 1week I've found 6 ticks on my two dogs. I found one that got under my shirt, and attached itself to my waist line. Need something that will kill these pests. I want something that can be mixed in my pull behind sprayer that will eliminate this tick infestation.
    A

    You can use a temporary marking dye such as Turf Mark Blue with the Bifen I/T or any insecticide you plan to use for tick control. Bifen would be a great choice, and in the areas of the property you suspect the highest populations of ticks, you can mix in an IGR such as Archer IGR to help stop their reproductive cycle and reduce the amount of future generations you would be contending with in the yard. We also have a handy Tick Control Guide which you can review for tips to get the most out of your treatment, including how to videos and step by step instructions and recommendations.
