  • Asked by David from Tupelo

    Q
    Why is Bifen IT not labeled for use on pastures to control armyworms with cattle present or absent?
    A

    The decision to add pasture applications where livestock will be present (or not) to the Bifen IT product label was made by the manufacturer of the product. We are the retail distributor and have no part in the testing.

    Q
    Will Bifen IT hurt my mini pigs if they eat grass a day after applying?

    Q
    Is Bifen IT safe to use around baseboards in a bedroom?
    They are coming up between the carpet and the baseboard in the bedroom. We have recently used Bifen granules outside and sprayed the walls and ground at the wall with Bifen IT. Now, I have found a few in the closet. They do fly. We have air-conditioning and the carpet is dry.
    A

    Bifen IT is safe to apply inside along baseboards and in cracks and crevices around the home as directed on the product label.

    Q
    Does Bifen IT work on Termites?

    Bifen IT will kill termites that come in contact with the chemical. To eradicate termites you want to use a product that has a transfer effect.

    Q
    Will Bifen IT kill bed bugs?
    Will Bifen IT kill and eliminate bed bugs and their eggs?
    A

    Bifen I/T woud not be recommended for controlling bedbugs at all. 

    If bedbugs have been found in the home you will want to follow our detailed bedbug guide which will take you through each step necessary to completely eliminate the population. As you go through the guide linked below you will see the non chemical steps (such as washing and drying clothes and linens) as well as chemical steps including where and how to use each product. Our Bed Bug kits are the best route to make sure you are using the best products on the market and without breaking the bank. Each kit is designed to treat a different size home or number of rooms, so you can choose the one best suited to the areas you have effected by the pest problem. The kits come with all the products need to do a complete treatment in all the places bed bugs can hide and enough product to complete roughly 4 repeat applications. Since every home and infestation is different you will want to do diligent and meticulous treatments with the products every 7-14 days until you can go 30 days in a row with no signs of live bed bugs and no new bites on the occupants of the home. If you have any questions regarding info you see in our guide or the products within the kits please let us know and we would be more than happy to assist you.

  • Asked by Elizabeth from Tx
    05/24/2016
    Q
    Can I use Bifen IT on an area rug in the den to kill fleas?
    A

    The label does not authorize to apply Bifen IT to any type of carpeting. You will want to focus treat the cracks and crevices of the room along baseboards, corners, door and window frames with a hand pump sprayer for a residual control. We advise to vacuuming consistently and sanitizing the treated area will help eliminate the fleas quicker. We also suggest using an IGR (insect growth regulator) such as Archer IGR to prevent the future infestation from developing for a better control.

    Q
    What if a cat steps in the wet mix of Bifen IT on concrete and licks her paws? Will it poison the cat?
    A

    Keep in mind that, when used as directed, Bifen IT is diluted at 1 oz. per gallon of water. This is only a large enough amount active ingredient to kill small insects. This small amount should not be harmful to your cat. Rule of thumb is to keep pets out of the treated area for about 1 hour to allow it to dry.

  • Asked by Mike from Houston ,tx
    08/29/2011
    Q
    Is Bifen safe to use around asthma patients?
    I have family members that have asthma , will Bifen IT affect them after it dries ?
    A
    Since different people can have varying reactions to the same chemical there is no way for us to be able to say for sure that any one person will not have a reaction to a specific insecticide. We can say that we have never had a report of any type of reaction to the Bifen IT when used as directed on the product label. Be sure the person with asthma is out of the area while the product is being applied and they can come back when the area is completely dry. You may also want to contact the asthmatic persons physician prior to the application just to be sure there will be no issues.

    Q
    Earwigs in house and on patio
    A
    Most of the synthetic pyrethroid insecticides on our site would do a great job for earwig control. Bifen IT would be a great choice for earwigs. You can spray both indoors and outdoors with this product. Bifen IT, one of our best sellers, has a long residual, is odorless, dries clear, leaves no stains, is non-irritating to the skin, and wont break down easily with rainfall.
