    Q
    I want the same roach bait gel that my pest control guy used?
    My old pest control guy sprayed, but he also placed gel inside the cabinets where the pipes would go into the wall in the kitchen and the bathrooms. Do you have a gel for this? Can I use the granules successfully?
    A

    We do sell professional Roach Bait Gel and Ant Bait Gel.  Follow the links to which ever one you are inquiring about. We also carry bait granules and insecticide granules for pest control. Please read the labels for specific instructions on application.

    Q
    How often do I need to treat my yard with Bifen IT?
    If I have an acre of land how much do I need?
    A
    Unfortunately you did not mention what pest you are trying to treat in your yard so we can not be very specific. The Bifen IT label does say that you can repeat applications as often as every 7 days outdoors but most customers do not repeat applications more than once a month for most pests. Again the usage rate of Bifen IT will vary greatly depending on what type of pest your are trying to control. The Bifen IT product label recommends 0.25-1.0 fl oz per 1,000 sq ft for most pests outdoors. You can find the usage rate tables starting on page 12 of the product label.

    Q
    Is Bifen IT recommended for springtails? If not, which product is best for this pest?
    Spring tails mostly appear around baseboards. Home is on a slab. Would Delta dust be more effective?
    A
    Spring tails can be tough to eliminate because they reproduce very quickly. In almost every case where people have spring tails they also have a moisture problem such as a leaking or sweating pipe, poor ventilation in their crawl space, lots of wet mulch right up next to their house, etc. You must locate and correct the moisture problem to get rid of the spring tails, insecticides alone will not do the job. We do carry Bifen L/P granules and Bifen IT liquid, both of which can help you to reduce the numbers of springtails.

    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.

  • Asked by Yuri from Columbia, Sc
    10/22/2011
    Q
    I have a small pond inside my house. Is it ok to apply this product inside my house?
    I have a small fish pond inside my house. I know this product shouldn't be applied very near to it, but I'm wondering it if I applied it inside my house, on areas not directly adjacent to the pond, and somehow a contaminated bug ended up inside the pond while it's dying, is this product so highly toxic to fish that this would be dangerous for them?
    A
    You can apply Bifen IT indoors so long as you make sure none of the spray winds up in the pond. The very small amount an insect may have on its body should have no effect at all on anything in the pond. If contaminating the pond is still a concern for you there is a product called Essentria IC3 that can be used around water without worry of hurting any of the aquatic animals you may have. 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 Tim from Sacramento, California
    12/19/2011
    Q
    Should I use ant bait (both gel and granular) before applying Bifen IT to get rid of sweet ants?
    A
    We recommend using the bait products first and then following up with the Bifen IT. If you spray the Bifen IT in the same place as you use the baits you will make the baits less appealing to the ants and you risk the bait not getting back to the colony because the ants could die too quickly.

  • Asked by Tracy,robynn from Collinsville, Ok

    Q
    Does Bifen IT work on "blister bug"?
    We had these in our garden last year and sprayed for them once, but didn't go back and do it again for the eggs.
    A
    You didn't mention what type of garden you have. Is it a flower garden or a vegetable garden? If it is a flower garden Bifen IT should work very well to help eliminate the blister beetles. Bifen IT is not labeled for use on edible plants. If it is a vegetable garden you will need to use a product that is labeled for use on edible vegetation such as Sevin or Natural Guard Insecticidal Soap. Be sure you read the product label of the product you choose before purchasing to make sure the plants you need to treat are listed. Product labels are on individual product pages under the picture of the product. You should also note that we didn't find any products that were specifically labeled for blister beetles so we recommended products that eliminate general garden pests. When pests are not specifically listed on product labels it is usually because these pests do not damage enough crops as to be agriculturally significant.

  • Asked by Jt from Kansas

    Q
    Is Bifen IT a viable way to treat wood shake roof for silverfish?
    Home is 7 yrs old, told I'll get another 30 yrs out of my beautiful wood shake roof. Only problem is we have an unrelenting silverfish problem. Multiple companies have put "as much chemical as I can legally put on this house" without getting rid of them. The only relief we got was when a guy fumigated the roof itself. Locals all say silverfish will always be here as long as I've got that wood roof.
    A
    Bifen IT can be sprayed onto and into the shakes to provide some relief from the silverfish. Be sure to use the highest usage rate of 1 oz of Bifen IT per gallon of water for the fastest knockdown and the longest lasting residual. You will need to reapply once a month to keep up the barrier.

    Q
    Will Bifen IT keep deer, rabbit and ground hog out of my flower garden ?
    A
    Bifen IT is an insecticide and does not have anything in its formulation that would keep mammals out of a garden. We do carry several repellents that would better suit your needs. You can checkout our animal repellents here : Animal Repellents

    Q
    Once you take action spraying your home and yard, do the Springtails return? once killed are they gone for go
    are they taken care of once sprayed and treated around home and yard, what are the effects afterwards,will they return?how do you keep them gone for good???
    A
    It depends.  The whole key to getting rid of springtails is their breeding source.  You have to find it.  Usually they breed under the slab and enter the home through small cracks.  Unfortunately when they breed under the slab the product you apply on top of the ground will not make it to them.  The slab has to dry out and you have to do whatever you can to prevent moisture from getting under the slab.  Usually springtails are breeding because of too much mulch around the house, grade against the house is not going away from the house and water puddles up, downspouts are not going away from the house, etc.   Getting rid of springtails is a moisture management issue usually and not something that pesticides can get rid of alone.

    Q
    Can I spray Bifen IT on the soil around my vegetable plants within a foot or so?
    Trying not to get any on the plants , Can i do this without taking ANY chance of harm to me or my family if we eat the veggies ?
    A
    You must keep Bifen IT applications outside of the root zone of the vegetable plant according to the Bifen IT product label. Spraying within a foot of edible vegetation is usually too close.

  • Asked by Ryan from Meridian, Ms
    05/01/2013
    Q
    Could I use a 4oz to one gallon of water solution and only have to spray my house every 6 months?
    A
    We do not recommend outside of the product label. The manufacturer states to use no more than 1 oz per 1 gallon of water. This product is a residual based product. The residual outdoors is 30 days indoors 90 days. Even if you were to use 4oz, you would still need to reapply per the product label of 30 to 90 days.

  • Asked by Don from Ozark,al.
    08/08/2013
    Q
    Can I use the same Bifen IT formula to spray fire ant beds?
    A
    Bifen IT is labeled for fire ant control and will help help eliminate fire ants when used as directed on the Bifen It product label: fire ant control is optimized by combining broadcast applications that will control foraging workers and newly mated fly-in queens with mound drenches that will control existing colonies. If the soil is not moist, then it is important to irrigate before application or use a high volume application. Apply broadcast treatments at 0.5 to 1 fluid oz. per 1,000 square feet. Use enough finished volume to penetrate thatch or sod. Treat mounds by applying 1 oz Bifen IT per mound in 1 to 2 gallons water by sprinkling the mound until it is wet and treat 3 feet out around the mound. Use the higher volume for mounds larger than 12”. Treat mounds with sufficient force to break their apex and allow the insecticide solution to flow into the ant tunnels. For best results, apply in cool weather (65 - 80˚F) or in early morning or late evening hours.

    Q
    Can I use Bifen for general pest control soon after Termidor has been used in a barrier treatment?
    I am wanting to use bifen to control spiders on the corners of my home and around the perimeter. I am also in the process of using termidor in a barrier treatment for termites. Is bifen ok to use right now or should I wait a period of time after the termidor treatment
    A
    Since the Bifen will be used topically for general pest control it should not interfere with a trenching treatment done using Termidor SC.

    Q
    Does Bifen IT work on Termites?
    A

    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. Termidor SC is a great product to use to treat termites. Please see our Termite Control Page. Scroll to the bottom of the page and find information on identification and treatment for termites.

  • Asked by Javier from United States
    06/23/2014
    Q
    What would you recommend for general pest control around a new home?
    Want to know what products to use and a schedule to do my own work for pest around the home and lawn. I have St. Augustine grass and have a pond behind my home.
    A
    Our most popular general use product is called Bifen IT.  It is widely used by pest control companies because it is labeled for almost every insect you could have a problem with and you can use it outside the home as well as inside, it is odorless and very safe for use around children and pets.  It is a liquid concentrate that you mix with water in a one gallon hand pump sprayer.  It will last for 60 to 90 days outside in between treatments.  It is also labeled for lawn and ornamental use, and can be used on trees, plants, bushes and shrubs for all sorts of ornamental pests including Japanese beetles, mosquitoes, and other leaf eating pests. We recommend treating once a month in the waremst months of the year and then every 90 days when it is cold and pests are less active. Be sure to stay at least 15 ft away from the pond and do not spray on windy or rainy days to avoid having the product drift in to the pond.
