    Q
    What is the time required after spraying Bifen IT to use fruit?
    How long must I wait for the toxicity to disappear to eat the fruit?

    Bifen IT should not be applied to any edible vegetation. You should not apply this product on a windy day or where wind drift may be a possibility if fruit trees or vegetables are nearby.  Any treated vegetables or fruit should be discarded. You should not consume anything in the area treated for one full growing season.

    Q
    Will Bifen IT be effective and long lasting if sprayed on wood decks, concrete, brick, asphalt, and vinyl sidi
    Will Bifen IT be both effective and long lasting if sprayed on wood decks, concrete, brick, asphalt, and vinyl siding?
    A
    Bifen IT is a great residual product, but just like any other insecticide, its not going to hold up long term to the environment. Most will give an outdoor residual of at least 30 days, and depending on how much UV rays break it down and rain you get, will determine whether it will last closer to 60 or 90 days. You can treat all the areas you mentioned with the Bifen for almost every insect. If you are looking to treat wood decks for wood destroying insects you would use a product like Boracare and then seal/stain the wood afterwards to keep it in. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Asked by Ernie from Tempe, Az
    10/15/2016
    Q
    Why did Bifen IT mixture have no effect on a spider?
    I sprayed a strong concentration of Bifen IT mixture directly on a spider and it had no effect. Is there something I can mix with the Bifen to get spiders?
    A

    Bifen IT is not designed to kill on contact and even when you spray an insect directly it can take several minutes or longer to kill it.  It will help to kill the ones that contact a treated surface as well as their food source, but how long it takes to kill after application depends on age and health of the insect, how long after application they contact the treated surface and how long they spend on the treated surface.  Spiders themselves are harder to kill as they do not groom themselves and have the long legs to keep themselves off the ground and in more contact with a treated surface.  We have a great guide here for treating spiders that might also help. If you are going to be spraying spiders directly each time, you could add a product like ExciteR to Bifen to give it a faster initial knockdown only.

    Q
    How long does Bifen IT take to dry?
    A

    Generally, after an application of Bifen IT it should take anywhere between 30 min - 1 hour to dry. After the treated area has completely dried it is safe for the pets to re-enter.

  • Asked by Todd from Grove City, Ohio
    11/17/2013
    Q
    How long will Bifen IT store after mixed ?
    A
    Bifen IT should be used up within 24 hours of diluting it with water. The longer an insecticide stands in a diluted state the less effective it becomes.  You should never store product in your sprayer as it will weaken the gaskets and other pieces within the sprayer shortening the life of the sprayer.

    Q
    How long does it take Bifen IT to kill fleas?
    I sprayed yesterday and my dogs are covered again and I too get covered when I walk outside.
    A

    Bifen IT is not a contact kill product, it is a residual product that can take a few day to start killing the fleas or other insects that you are treating for.  You need to give the product time to do what its designed for.  If the infestation of fleas is extensive then you may treat again after 7-14 days.  It is recommened to treat your dog, as well as treat the inside of your home.  Continue to clean, wash and vaccum daily till the infestation is under control. Please take a few moments to review our Flea Treatment Guide for more information.
