    Q
    Should you shake the Bifen IT concentrate before dispensing into sprayer?
    A

    Shaking the Bifen IT prior to mixing is not necessary unless the product has sat for a long period of time and you can see some separation or settling of the ingredients. If so, you can shake it until it goes back into emulsion and then use it.

    Q
    Is it safe to spray this around the parameter of a raised bed garden?
    I also have several apple trees in an area surrounded by mulch. Can this be sprayed on the mulch (not directly on the trees) and the apples will still be safe to eat?
    A
    As long as the product does not come into direct contact with the plants, their roots or drip line, you can use the product around the areas safely. Try to spray on a very calm sunny day to allow for less chance of wind drift as you spray and for quicker dry times.

  • Asked by Kayla from Fort Lauderdale, Fl
    11/17/2016
    Q
    How long does Bifen I/T to kill a tick?
    A

    When using Bifen IT for ticks, there can be several variables. How long it takes the ticks to die after they come into contact with a treated area will depend on a number of factors, such as the age of the tick as well as how long they stayed in contact with the treated area, how long it has been since the area was treated, and the concentration that was used to treat the area. Typically it can take anywhere from a couple of hours to a day or so for them to die. It can take several weeks for you to stop seeing ticks completely because ticks like to stay hidden, which also means they could be staying away from treated areas. We recommend doing follow up treatments every two weeks at the highest usage rate of 1 oz of product per gallon of water until you do not see any ticks.

  • Asked by Jeff from Maize, Ks
    06/18/2017
    Q
    How long will Bifen IT take to eliminate springtails?
    A

    Bifen IT can take several minutes or longer to kill a listed pest that contacts the treated surfaces. It  is mixed at 1 fl oz per gallon of water per  1,000 sq ft monthly to the exterior areas and quarterly to the interior crevices. Eliminating springtails can take time. Springtails indicate that there is a moisture issue because they breed in walls or under slabs where a moisture issue may exist.  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.

    05/05/2021
    Q
    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.

    Q
    Is there a danger that citrus trees will absorb Bifen IT thru the SOIL if I spray my lawn for chinch bugs?
    I am concerned whether the citrus fruit may be harmful to eat if the surrounding lawn area is treated. I know not to get any over-spray on the trees/fruit but I am not clear as to possible absorption via the soil.
    A
    Bifen IT does not move through the soil. As long as you keep all spray applications out of the root zone and do not allow spray to drift toward the trees, the trees will not be affected by Bifen IT.

  • Asked by Harlan
    05/03/2018
    Q
    How do you measure out the Bifen IT from the 3/4 gallon container?
    It doesn't appear that the 3/4 gallon bottle has a way to measure out like the talstar P? - that is, self measuring bottle spout
    A

    That is correct, the Bifen IT 3/4 gallon does not have a measuring reservoir.  You will need a separate measuring device to measure out the correct amount of concentrate.  You could use any measure cup as long as it is designated just for insecticides.
