You can water 24 hours after applying Bifen IT.
We recommend that you do not apply Bifen IT when birds are present. All surfaces/areas should be completely dried and ventilated prior to the return of the birds.
Bifen IT is a great product labeled for over 75 types of insects, including scorpions and especially mosquitoes. Mix 1oz Bifen IT per 1 gallon of water and apply as a perimeter treatment or broadcast treatment over the entire property. When treating for mosquitoes, it is important to focus on the undersides of leaves, bushes, trees, shrubs, decking, eaves, etc as this is where mosquitoes will hide during the day. Pay attention to damp areas and possible consider using BTI Mosquito Dunks in areas where you have standing water.
Bifen IT used inside the home as a crack and crevice treatment will last 90 days and 30 days outside the home as a perimeter or broadcast treatment.
Yes, Bifen IT can be used in a hose end sprayer. You will use 1 fl. oz. of solution and 5.5 ml of Nyguard IGR per gallon of water. You will put the concentrate directly into the cannister, and the tube will automatically use how much you have on the dial. It will disperse with each gallon that comes through the hose. You will need to be as accurate as possible when using this method. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
Bifen IT is an insecticide that will treat for ticks as well as several other labeled insects. It does not act as a repellent. When applied to your yard at the proper mix rate, insects can not detect that the product is there. The insecticide leaves a residual that kills the insects that come in contact with it.
Bifenthrin and Bifenazate are used to treat different types of insects. Bifenthrin is mainly for general pest control use and is an ingredient in products such as Talstar P and Bifen IT. Bifenazate is a type of miticide and is an ingredient in products such as Floramite SC and Sirocco Miticide. We would not recommend rotating these two products for mite control. Bifenazate is a good active ingredient for spider mites, as well as Abamectin, which is the active ingredient in Avid 0.15 EC.
Bifen IT is mixed at 1 fl oz per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft monthly to the listed exterior areas. For 3/4 acre, you will be applying approximate 33 fl oz per treatment to cover 32,670 sq ft.
We recommend removing the Hermit Crabs from the rooms till after the application of Bifen IT has had time to dry.
