Bifen IT and Termidor should not be mixed for termite control. Bifenthrin products used to be considered a good form of termite treatment, but bifenthrin acts as a repellent and now a days almost all professional termite companies are using non-repellents, such as Termidor SC. We have a great article called How To Do A Termite Treatment that explains how to perform a treatment using a non-repellent termiticide.
An insecticide such as Bifen IT can be mixed with a herbicide, however, we would not recommend mixing it with a surfactant. Anytime a product does not require a surfactant, we do not recommend mixing it with anything that does. If you choose to proceed, make sure you do a jar test to see how they react together. If they separate, change colors, or any other chemical reactions, they will not work together.
Bifen IT is applied at the rate of 1 oz. per gallon of water for mosquitoes. Keep in mind that it is not a contact kill. How long it takes to see results will depend on a number of factors such as the severity of the infestation you are dealing with. It can take anywhere from several hours to even a couple of days. You do have the option to mix Bifen with a product like ExciteR for a quicker knockdown.
Yes, Bifen IT is labeled for bed bugs. You will use 1 fl. oz. per gallon of water.
We would also recommend using an IGR (insect growth regulator), such as Gentrol. You will use this every two weeks until you do not see any activity for 30 days. This will stop the bed bugs from reproducing. You will use 1 fl. oz. per gallon of water.
Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
Bifen IT is not labeled to control slugs. Slugs put down a continuous layer of mucus which makes it impossible for dried deposits of insecticide sprays to reach the actual slug. You will need to use a slug bait such as Sluggo Plus or Hi-Yield Improved Slug and Snail Bait to control the slugs.
Yes, Bifen IT will help control carpenter bees when it is applied to surfaces where the carpenter bees land. We also recommend dusting the carpenter bee holes with an insecticide dust such as Tempo Dust to help kill any larva inside. Do not plug the holes for at least 30 days after dusting to prevent the developing larva from drilling a new hole to exit.
Bifen I/T is not safe for use on or around any edible vegetation. Bifen is also only used at 1 (ONE) ounce per gallon of water and should never be used at a rate higher than this for multiple reasons. If you need to treat a fire ant mount around edible plants such as grapes, you can either use boiling water to drench the mound directly and kill them on contact, or go with a product like Sevin Insecticide which is for controlling insects in garden areas.
Bifen IT is labeled for millipedes and will kill them when used according to the Bifen IT product label. We recommend using 1 fl oz of Bifen IT per gallon of water for the fastest knockdown and the longest lasting residual. Millipedes are usually going to frequent areas where there are high levels of moisture. There are some non-chemical things you can do to help make your property less favorable to millipedes:
