    Q
    Does Bifen help with keeping moles away??
    A

    Bifen is not used to control moles. This product is an insecticide that will control lawn infesting pest like ants, roaches, crickets, worms, caterpillars, ticks, etc. The best way to control moles is with a product specifically labeled for them, such as Talpirid Mole Worms, or Giant Destroyer Gassers. You can review all of the available options on our Mole Control page. Please let us know if you have any questions.

  • Asked by Kathy from Rocky Point
    02/07/2014
    Q
    Using Bifen as a barrier around house for termites
    Using the 4 gallon to 10 liner foot trench method, how long should it last in the soil as a barrier? I already have a full container of Bifen I/T or I would use something else, will this work?
    A
    Bifenthrin products used to be considered a good form of termite treatment, but bifenthrin acts as a repellent and now a days almost all professional termite companies are using non-repellents, such as Termidor SC or Dominion 2L.  Termidor will last 10+ years in the soill and Dominion will last 5-7 years.  We have a great article called How To Do A Termite Treatment that explains how to perform a treatment using a non-repellent termiticide.

  • Asked by Ricardo from Riviera Beach Fl
    08/13/2018
    Q
    Trying to keep spiders,ants and other insects from coming in the house. Should I use Bifen IT or Bifen XTS?
    A

    Both Bifen IT and Bifen XTS are both labeled for the insects your are targeting and they can both be broadcast across your lawn as well. The biggest difference between the two is that Bifen IT is water based and Bifen XTS is oil based and has more of the active ingredient in the solution.

  • Asked by Margaret from Lexington,s.c.
    04/28/2017
    Q
    What is the dilution ration of the Bifen IT for fire ants?
    fireants in my yard
    A

    According to the Bifen IT product label, Apply 1 fl. oz. per 1,000 square feet when using broadcast treatments. For mound drenches, dilute 1 teaspoon of Bifen IT per gallon of water and use 1 to 2 gallons of finished dilution using sufficient force to penetrate the top and allow dilution to flood ant channels. Treat a four-foot diameter around each ant mound. Application should be made in late evening or early morning when it is cooler (65° - 80° when insects are most active. NOTE: A spray rig calibrated to apply 1 fluid oz. per 1,000 square feet of Bifen I/T in 5 gallons per 1,000 square feet contains the equivalent dilution (1 teaspoon per gallon) required for fire ant mound drenches in the spray tank.

  • Asked by Dawn
    08/02/2017
    Q
    How often should I treat my yard for fleas with Bifen IT?
    Does humidity effect the the treatment
    A

    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.   Treatment should be reapplied after 14 days if needed and may take 2-3 or more applications. Humidity will not effect the Bifen, it can last up to 30 days on outside surfaces.

  • Asked by Patrice from California
    05/15/2013
    Q
    I've been using Bifen for ants, but still have earwigs and silverfish, what should I use for those?
    I already put Dekko in the attic where I found silverfish. But I don't know where those earwigs come from?? It's not much, just a few, but I don't want them to hurt my paralyzed dog.
    A
    That's awesome Bifen IT has been doing such a great job for you. To treat the Earwigs, please refer to our article Getting Rid of Earwigs. There are many steps you can take to treat and prevent earwigs and Silverfish. By following the steps in our article you will also help to eliminate the Silverfish as well. You also may want to try a residual spray like Demon WP that is labeled for earwigs and silver fish. You want to spray the entire perimeter indoors and out.

    Q
    Do you have anything for mosquitoes and flies?
    Backyard patio and yard appx. 75 ft. x 80 ft.
    A
    Bifen IT would be a great choice to treat mosquitoes and flies. It dries clear and is odorless. You can apply the mixed solution to lawns, trees, shrubs, indoors. It has a long lasting residual. You may want to retreat during the season once every 30 days.  
    Be sure to spray the undersides of leaves on trees as bushes as this is where mosquitoes like to hang out during the heat of the day.

    A

    Bifen IT is applied at the rate of 1 oz. per gallon of water for mosquitoes.  Keep in mind that it is not a contact kill.  How long it takes to see results will depend on a number of factors such as the severity of the infestation you are dealing with.  It can take anywhere from several hours to even a couple of days.  You do have the option to mix Bifen with a product like ExciteR for a quicker knockdown.

    Q
    Can I combine Bifen IT with other chemicals?
    I have ExciteR and Cyzmic and Pivot. Can I safely combine all 3 of these or any of them for terrible mosquitoes?
    A

    Yes, Bifen IT can be used with an IGR like Pivot and a synergist like Exciter for a faster knockdown of insects such as mosquitoes. There would be no valid reason to mix Cyzmic CS and Bifen IT. You would want to use one or the other.
