  • Asked by Chris from St. Louis, Mo
    03/21/2016
    Q
    What's the best application method of Bifen for applying for fleas?
    I use a backpack mister for mosquitoes.
    A

    You can also use the backpack mist blower to apply Bifen for fleas. You still want to stick to the perimeters of your yard and around your home. Mix at 1 oz per gallon of water. You may also want to consider mixing in Nyguard IGR to help break down the reproductive cycle. Be sure to visit our Flea Guide for more helpful tips on Flea control.

  • 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
    Does Bifen IT control small lake flies?
    A

    You can apply Bifen IT indoors and outdoors for flies in general as long as you make sure none of the spray winds up in the lake. If contaminating the lake is a concern for you there is a product called Essentria IC3 that can be used around water without worry of hurting any aquatic life.  Essentria IC3 is a broad-spectrum natural insecticide that works just as well as the synthetic insecticides but without the aquatic toxicity issue.

  • Asked by Marcelo from Cumming, Ga
    03/22/2017
    Q
    How much does 96oz of Bifen IT cover for flea and tick treatment on bermuda grass?
    A

    The 96 oz of Bifen IT will make 96 to 192 gallons giving you a coverage of 4 acres. But, please keep in mind that the Bifen alone will not eradicate fleas. You will also need to mix in an IGR to break down the reproductive cycle. Bifen kills the adults that come in contact with it, but then you still have the immature fleas growing and then reproducing. It is a constant battle without the IGR. We recommend Nyguard as an additive to the Bifen and it will last up to 7 months.
