    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.

    Q
    How long will Bifen IT keep?
    I want to buy a large amount of Bifen IT, so I can use it every year. I'm trying to figure out how long it will keep without going bad?
    A
    Bifen IT should be used within 3 years of the date of purchase. To protect the integrity of the product, you should store unused portions in a cool dry area out of direct sunlight. Avoid letting the product over heat or freeze.

    Q
    I am looking for a product to kill weevils on orchids. Would Bifen IT be effective and safe for my orchids?
    A
    Bifen IT is labeled for Orchid Weevils and should do a great job for you. It is always recommended that you spray only one plant to test for any sensitivity/damage before you do a complete treatment on all of the orchids. We also recommend that you speak to an expert that deals with orchids to learn more about treating weevils on orchids as orchids can be very sensitive.

    Q
    Does Bifen IT kill stinkbug eggs that are laid on windows when sprayed??
    A
    Bifen IT  is not labeled to kill stink bug eggs only the active nymphs and the adults. Most insecticides will not kill insect eggs because the outer shells of the insect eggs protect them from the insecticides.

    Q
    Does Bifen IT take care of Rasberry crazy ants?
    A

    Bifen IT has not been shown to be very effective at controlling Raspberry Crazy Ants. Termidor SC  used outdoors and Phantom used indoors have been the most effective products to control crazy Raspberry Ants. Ant baits and synthetic pyrethroid insecticides do not seem to do an effective job controlling this ant species. Texas A&M University has done extensive research regarding these ants and you can find detailed articles on their extension website.

  • Asked by Tony from Petersburg, Wv
    05/27/2013
    Q
    Will Bifen IT be effective and long lasting if sprayed on wood decks, concrete, brick, asphalt, and vinyl sidi
    Will Bifen IT be both effective and long lasting if sprayed on wood decks, concrete, brick, asphalt, and vinyl siding?
    A
    Bifen IT is a great residual product, but just like any other insecticide, its not going to hold up long term to the environment. Most will give an outdoor residual of at least 30 days, and depending on how much UV rays break it down and rain you get, will determine whether it will last closer to 60 or 90 days. You can treat all the areas you mentioned with the Bifen for almost every insect. If you are looking to treat wood decks for wood destroying insects you would use a product like Boracare and then seal/stain the wood afterwards to keep it in. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Asked by Charlie from North Carolina
    06/19/2013
    Q
    I recently purchased Bifen IT for mosquito control.
    I plan to use a fogging attachment on my lawn blower to apply the product. Can you provide me the dilution ratio or application rate per 1,000 SQ FT?
    A
    Bifen IT can only be applied in spray form when applying for insects. Hand pump and backpack sprayers, hose-end sprayers and motorized "mist blowers" like the Solo 451 can be used to apply the Bifen and similar insecticides. Bifen can not be used in any type of fogging equipment whether thermal/propane, ULV or fogging attachment. In any of the approved applicators, you would mix Bifen at the rate of 1 ounce per gallon of water to roughly every 1000 sq/ft. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Asked by Bill from Waxahachie, Tx.
    06/20/2013
    Q
    Have been using Bifen IT with good results for pests, but could you recommend something with a quick knockdown?
    A
    The ExciteR Insecticide is specifically designed to be added to any insecticide you are already using to provide you with a much stronger and faster initial knock down, while the Bifen continues to give you the longer lasting residual. However, we may be able to give you a more accurate product recommendation if we know what pest in particular you are treating for and wanting a quicker knock down with. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Q
    How do you rid of Carpenter ants
    I have some carpenter ants in some rotted wood on the Corner of my porch, what can I do to get rid if them?
    A
    You could use phantom in that area and around the perimeter of your home 2-3 feet up and out. Phantom works well to eradicate carpenter ant colonies, because the active is transferred by the worker ants into the colony.

  • Asked by Matt from Mn
    07/14/2013
    Q
    Why can't I use a ulv sprayer with bifen? Should a person use a resperator with this product?
    A
    Bifen is not formulated to be used in any type of fogger, neither thermal or ULV. Using a product that is not meant to get broken down into that level of application, jeapordizes the quality of the product and its ability to perform appropriately, as well as can harm your fogger. Bifen should only be used in a unit that is a true sprayer. You would need to use a water based fogging concentrate in your ULV unit. You would not have to wear a respirator when spraying Bifen indoors or out but you could wear something similar to a painters mask to help protect the nose and mouth from any drift or back spray. If you were using an appropriate fogging concentrate in your ULV fogger in an indoor area you would want to use a respirator in those areas. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Q
    Could Bifen poison a chipmunk?
    After applying bifen in my back yard, next day I found a dead chipmunk. Is it a coincidence, or could bifen actually poison a chipmunk?
    A
    This is most likely a coincidence and a wild animal may have gotten a hold of the animal. If the Bifen were to affect the chipmunk it would normally mean the chipmunk got into it the mixed solution itself or maybe consumed a large amount where the surfaces you sprayed were still wet. Once the product is dry it wont harm any animals or people.

  • Asked by Jeff from Manteca, Ca
    03/06/2014
    Q
    Should I continue using Bifen I/T or switch to another general purpose insecticide?
    I am currently using Bifen I/T for my exterior home spraying every 3 months. The bottle is nearly empty and I need to purchase more. Would it be best to continue with this product or switch to another product? I remember reading that insects can build up an immunity so it is good to change from time to time. I have had very good luck with Bifen I/T in getting rid of my ants and spiders. If you do recommend changing, then what do you recommend? Thanks!
    A
    It normally takes many years for insects to build a resistancy to insecticides. If you are still experiencing good results from Bifen I/T then I would recommend continuing with Bifen I/T. The price and effectiveness cannot be matched.
