    Q
    Can I mix Bifen IT with herbicides?
    A

    You can mix Bifen IT with an herbicide as long as there are no restrictions on the label for the other product that you are using. We recommend performing a small jar test for compatibility any time you are using two new products together for the first time. Be mindful that you are only applying your herbicide in the correct areas.

    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.

  • Asked by Katie
    07/25/2011
    Q
    Should I use an IGR with Bifen IT to control roaches?
    Should I add an insect growth regulator(IGR) to Bifen IT to keep roaches and other pests out of my home?
    A
    We always recommend using an IGR such as Nyguard or Gentrol to help break the roach infestation cycle. We also recommend using a roach bait gel such as Advion Roach Bait Gel to help get rid of those roaches that harbor in areas where you cannot spray (cabinets, drawers, counters, around sinks).

  • Asked by Amy from Allen, Texas
    06/07/2013
    Q
    How much to buy for an acre?
    Our house is on an acre. We are mostly fighting fire ants, flies (on flowering shrubs), spider mites, and wasps. We also have a pool which attracts flying red ants and I assume we will soon see mosquitos. Help!! Is Biden the solution for us? I have already spent too much money on professional fire ant control with little success. What is the best way to apply? Can I apply to full lawn and shrubs? Hose sprayer? Any help appreciated.
    A
    The Bifen would definitely be a great option for most of the pest you are having a problem with. You can use the Bifen in a hand pump sprayer or with a hose end, although you will get more uniform and accurate coverage with a hand pump than you will a hose. You would typically mix 1 ounce to a gallon of water for all the insects in your yard and you can spray the bushes, yard, ornamentals and trees for mosquitoes, spider mites, wasps and regular ants. For fire ants you need to treat a little differently as they are more unique than other ants. The BEST way to control fire ants is with a professional grade bait like the Extinguish Plus Fire Ant Bait. It not only is a food source that they will forage for and bring back into the nest, but it also contains an IGR-birth control-to keep the queen from reproducing. This has been proven to have the most thorough results. If you don't want to use a bait you can use the bifen on the fire ants but you must follow the instructions on the label for drenching each mound with at least 3 gallons of water to get all the way to the bottom of the nest. You can see the specific instructions for this method on the Product Label.

    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.

    Q
    How to control wasps when nest is not on our property
    The wasps fly around our back yard and infest our grass, but after searching everywhere we don't think the nest is on our property. What is the best product to spray on our grass and foliage to kill and deter them? We also have pets and kids who like to play in this area.
    A
    Bifen IT is safely used in thousands of homes across the country everyday. Bifen IT is safe for use around pets when used according to the label. You should always keep children and pets away from the away while you are treating, and then once the treatment is dry it is perfectly safe to allow pets to re-enter the area. To control wasp and other flying insects around buildings, landscapes, and lawns, dilute 0.33 to 1.0 fl. oz. per gallon of water and use one gallon of dilution per 1000 square feet as a general spray. Bifen IT can be mixed at lower concentrations and applied at higher volumes to ensure application of the proper amount of product to a given area.

    Q
    What is the best concentrate to rid mosquitoes, will use an ATV sprayer.
    A
    Bifen IT would be a great choice for mosquitoes.  The most important thing to remember when treating for mosquitoes is that they hang out on the underside of leaves and shrubs.  You should treat all shrubs, bushes and trees around the outside patio or wherever you hang out at around the house.  You should also treat the tree line in your yard near the forest if one exists.  Remember to not only treat the main bush or shrub but also the underside of the leaves.

  • Asked by Dorothy from Pinola, Ms 39149
    09/11/2014
    Q
    How do you kill outdoor ants, common ants and fire ants using Bifen IT?
    A

    Bifen IT is an excellent insecticide and is labeled for ants, including fire ants.

     

    The best control will be achieved by using broadcast treatments in combination with mound drenches. This will control present colonies along with foraging workers and newly mated fly-in queens. It is critical either to use high volume treatments or to irrigate prior to application if the soil is dry. Apply 1 fl. oz. per 1,000 square feet when using broadcast treatments. For mound drenches, dilute 1 teaspoon of Bifen I/T per gallon
    of water and use 1 to 2 gallons of finished dilution using sufficient force to penetrate the top and allow dilution to flood ant channels. Treat a four-foot diameter around each ant mound. Application should be made in late evening or early morning when it is cooler (65-80° when insects are most active. NOTE: A spray rig calibrated to apply 1 fluid oz. per 1,000 square feet of Bifen I/T in 5 gallons per 1,000 square feet contains the equivalent
    dilution (1 teaspoon per gallon) required for fire ant mound drenches in the spray tank.
    For other ants, we would recommend a perimeter treatment around your home. You will use 1 fl. oz. per gallon of water.
    Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
