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.
Bifen IT is not labeled for slugs or snails so we would not recommend it. Instead you can use a product like Monterey Sluggo Plus Snail & Slug Killer
Bifen IT is mixed at the rate of 1 oz. per gallon of water for most pests. Please see the product label for complete application instructions.
We do not see any reason why you can't spray Bifen IT and Hi-Yield Atrazine together. For more information on application and dilution, please refer to the product labels of each product.
Bifen IT can be applied at 1 fl oz per gallon with Hi-Yield Spreader Sticker. You will mix 2 to 4 teaspoons per gallon of water when mixed with insecticides, miticides, fungicides, liquid fertilizers and herbicides.
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.
Bifen IT should not be applied to any edible vegetation. You should not apply this product on a windy day or where wind drift may be a possibility if fruit trees or vegetables are nearby. Any treated vegetables or fruit should be discarded. You should not consume anything in the area treated for one full growing season.
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.
Bifen IT should be mixed at the rate of 1 oz. to 1 gallon of water for ticks.
Bifen IT is an insecticide, not an insect growth regulator (IGR). You can find the IGRs that we carry here.
Bifen IT is mixed at 1 oz per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft.
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.
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.
