  • Asked by Ken from Fort Mill Sc
    07/02/2014
    Q
    I am a beekeeper. Will Bifen IT hurt my bees?
    Mosquitos are a problem for my family. I have rigged up my sprayer to my leaf blower and this gives me very good coverage to the underside of leaves. I do have flowers that the bees visit.
    A
    Bifen IT is highly toxic to bees. You can reduce the risk to your bees by keeping applications away from areas where the bees are actively foraging and at times when the bees are not active in general. You may also consider using Mavrik Perimeter insecticide for outdoor pests, which is non-repellent and non-toxic to honeybees after it is dried. You will want to read the product label to see if this fits your needs.

    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.

  • Asked by Scott from Rocky Mount, Nc
    08/15/2014
    Q
    Is Bifen IT safe to use near well water?
    Also, I have sprayed this on an underground yellow jacket nest, and they are still at this location.
    A

    Per the product label, the soil around a well can be treated with Bifen IT. You can treat up to three feet away from the well.

    With Bifen IT, the label states that when you are treating for yellow jackets, spray the nest opening in the ground, bushes, and in cracks and crevices where the insects may nest. Saturate the openings and contact as many insects as possible. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

  • Asked by Mort from Raleigh, Nc
    08/26/2014
    Q
    After having my house spray washed, I now have what looks like millipedes coming into the house. How do I get rid of them?
    A

    Bifen IT is labeled for millipedes and will kill them when used according to the Bifen IT product label. We recommend using 1 fl oz of Bifen IT per gallon of water for the fastest knockdown and the longest lasting residual. Millipedes are usually going to frequent areas where there are high levels of moisture. There are some non-chemical things you can do to help make your property less favorable to millipedes:

    Step 1) Non chemical Methods of Millipede Control

    Exclusion:

    • Repair cracks, crevices, and gaps around windows, doors, pipes and wires with sealant or caulk
    • Makes sure the screens and door sweeps on windows and doors are tight-fitting

    Eliminate Favorable Conditions:

    • Fix leaky faucets or pipes and dry up wet or damp areas where millipedes thrive
    • Remove outdoor harborages near the home that hold moisture (compost, wood, or leaf piles, etc).
    • Store firewood off the ground at least 20 feet away from the home
    • Water your lawn in the morning so that it will be dry by afternoon
    • Do not over mulch flower beds, since soggy mulch is an ideal harborage for millipedes

  • Asked by Lei from Aiea, Hawaii
    09/08/2014
    Q
    Which insecticide is best to kill centipedes and roaches?
    Have just cleared 1,000 square feet of shrub with rocks and have many centipedes, and which would be best a an outdoor termicide? I have a in/outdoor dog. Do you ship to Hawaii?
    A
    Bifen IT is a great broad spectrum insecticide that works fantastic on centipedes, roaches, and termites. To perform a perimeter treatment you would mix 1 oz of Bifen IT per gallon of water and spray around the foundation making sure to spray 2 feet up the side of your home and 2 feet out on the ground. Pay close attention to all cracks/crevices, window frames, door frames, weep holes, and where pipes enter your home. If you have an active Termite problem we recommend you read over our Termite Control Page to find an appropriate product and treatment that is specialized for your needs. If you need further assistance please call us a 866-581-7378.

    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.

  • Asked by Marc
    02/14/2010
    Q
    Is Bifen IT effective for weevils?
    I have a problem with white pine weevils. Is there a better alternative that would be more effective?
    A
    Bifen IT is labeled for "weevils" in general and the active ingredient Bifenthrin is known to be effective for white pine weevils. It is important when using a foliar application that treatments start when adult weevils first start to appear in spring, usually around mid-April. At this time, Bifenthrin seems to be the only active ingredient available to homeowners for white pine weevil control. We also suggest you contact your local cooperative extension office for more tips on the best treatment time in your specific area.
