    Q
    Can Bifen IT be used with a thermal fogger?
    If so, would you mix the same concentration in oil as you recommend with water? I prefer a thermal fogger because I have a 5 acre property and need to infiltrate the deep woods all around me.
    A
    Bifen IT is not permitted to use in a ULV or a thermal fogger.  Bifen IT is only permitted to be used in a hand pump or gas powdered sprayer with larger droplets.  Bifen IT can clog foggers. Only oil based fog solutions are usually advised to be used in a thermal fogger.  Our recommendation would by Pyrocide 100, which is a fogging solution that is great for mosquitoes and flying insects. Most fogging solutions do not leave a long residual and should be re-applied for optimum results.

    Q
    I've been using Bifen IT and had success early, but now 1 to 2 weeks later we're being mauled.
    I also use dunks on nearby ponds. The tiger skeeters are aggressively biting in daylight just 2 weeks after I did an application of bifen. I've done 3 applications this year since March when they get going. I'm using a ULV fogger and tank mixing some pyrethrin and IG regulator, I've measured the coverage area and applied it correctly. Are they just flying through from the neighbor's yard? We're getting killed!
    A

    Bifen IT cannot be applied via a ULV Fogger. It can only be applied via a sprayer or mister. Generally, products that can be fogged do not leave a residual. We cannot say for certain what effects fogging the product may have caused, but we would recommend spraying your next application. It is also possible that they are coming from the neighbor's yard. Insects need to come in contact with areas sprayed with Bifen in order to be affected

    Q
    Why can't I use a ulv sprayer with bifen? Should a person use a resperator with this product?
    A
    Bifen is not formulated to be used in any type of fogger, neither thermal or ULV. Using a product that is not meant to get broken down into that level of application, jeapordizes the quality of the product and its ability to perform appropriately, as well as can harm your fogger. Bifen should only be used in a unit that is a true sprayer. You would need to use a water based fogging concentrate in your ULV unit. You would not have to wear a respirator when spraying Bifen indoors or out but you could wear something similar to a painters mask to help protect the nose and mouth from any drift or back spray. If you were using an appropriate fogging concentrate in your ULV fogger in an indoor area you would want to use a respirator in those areas. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
