    Q
    Would mixing this with dish soap help make it stick better to vegetation?
    This and Talstar P work awesome!!! I apply maybe every other month unless we get heavy rain coming through. Would mixing this with dish soap or baby shampoo help it stick better to leaves etc for mosquitos like some lawn services do when making their own fertilizer mix? Any other solution?
    A

    We could not advise you to mix dish soap with Bifen IT  because that would be considered an off-label usage. You can mix it with a spreader sticker such as Hi-Yield Spreader Sticker to achieve the results you are looking for.

  • Asked by Josh from Florida

    Q
    Is it ok to Mix Bifenthrin and permethrin together also with a IGR (NyGuard) for a lawn application. To have
    the permethrin for the fast knockdown and the bifenthrin for longer residual and the IGR to break the flea and other life cycles. Or should I only use the bifenthrin. I dont want the two chemicals to work against each other and have negative results. Thanks
    A

    We would not recommend mixing Bifenthrin and Permethrin together. The Bifenthrin mixed with an IGR is effective as well as mixing Permethrin with an IGR, such as NyGuard. Nyguard does have a residual for 4-5 months. With fleas, keep in mind that multiple applications are needed for them to be eradicated. After the first application, a follow up treatment should be done every 14 days until the fleas are gone.

  • Asked by Paul from Abbeville, Ms
    06/29/2017
    Q
    What can I mix with Bifen that will give it more residual to help break the flea cycle?
    A

    Bifen IT can be mixed with an insect growth regulator such as Nyguard IGR to break the flea cycle.  Nyguard IGR will prevent the young from maturing into reproducing adults, thereby keeping the colony from getting larger while the Bifen works to eliminate.  Bifen should be applied every 2 weeks outside for flea treatment and Nyguard once a month.
