    Q
    Will Bifen IT kill stink bugs inside my home and garden?
    A

    Bifen IT is labeled for stink bugs. You can use it indoors and outdoors but it is not labeled for use in a vegetable garden.  We suggest using Hi-Yield Indoor/Outdoor Broad Use Insecticide with 10% Permethrin. It  can be used on certain edible vegetation not grown for sale. Please take a few minutes to read the product label to see if the plants you need to treat are listed.

  • Asked by Cullen from Zebulon, Nc

    Q
    If my dog eats grass that Bifen IT is sprayed and dryer on will it harm her?
    A

    Bifen IT should be applied and dried prior to the entry of the dogs. Once dry, it is safe for their return. It will not reactivate when wet again.Your dog would have to eat a lot of grass most likely to get sick, and he/she would probably get much more sick from the grass then the product.  However, of course we recommend anything you can do to minimize your dog from eating the grass.

    Q
    How should Bifen IT be applied to houseplants to treat for fungus gnats?
    A

    Bifen IT is safe on house plants on the foliage.  For fungus gnats you would be using as a soil drench to treat.  The other option is to allow the soil to dry out completely as this will kill any larvae in the soil.

  • Asked by Carol from Tarpon Springs, Fl
    10/15/2016
    Q
    Can too much water be used in applying Bifen?
    I have a severe infestation of chinch bugs in my 1500 sf St. Augustine lawn. I sprayed at 1 oz per gallon and then handwatered in. I am concerned that I applied too much water...how do you know that the product is not being diluted too much? Also if I sprayed 3 days ago can I water in fertilizer now without making the Bifen less effective?
    A

    As long as Bifen IT was applied as directed on the label and watered in as required for chinch bugs (at least 0.25 inch of irrigation) after application, you can go ahead and water in the fertilizer.  It will not move much farther into the soil as it is designed to bind to the soil. If more water was used that would just have pushed it down into the soil better and will be fine.

    Q
    Can we mix Bifen IT and Demand CS ?
    A

    Bifen IT and Demand CS have very similar active ingredients, so it would not be of any benefit to mix these two products together. If you would like to tell us more about what pest you are treating and where, then we are happy to give you further advice on your treatment.

    08/24/2017
    Q
    How long should I wait for dethatching after applying Bifen IT for chinch bugs?
    I plan to dethatch about 3 or 4 days after applying Bifen IT for Chinch Bugs. Will that make it less effective? I'm doing a 2nd application in about 2 weeks. Also, can it be watered into the lawn the day after or later? I used a hose end sprayer.
    A

    You should dethatch first and then treat with Bifen IT for increased effectiveness. You should water in the product after application to reach the areas they feed.

    Q
    Will Bifen IT kill sugar ants?
    A

    Bifen I/T can be used to spray around the homes foundation and in the yard for most species of ants. All ants are sugar ants (they all feed on sugars and proteins) so we couldnt say for certain how well it will work for your specific situation without knowing the exact ant species. You can review our ant control guide below to see tips on inspection and prevention as well as product suggestions that may be more suited to your needs.

    Q
    Is it safe to plant a vegetable garden where I sprayed Bifen IT?
    I sprayed bifen around my yard last week.
    A

    We recommend that you either wait at least one year before planting edibles where Bifen IT has been sprayed or that you excavate the soil in the area you want to plant. You can also create raised garden beds where you would be bringing in fresh soil media.
