    Q
    Can livestock graze after Bifen IT is applied?
    We have a tick and ant problem this year and I was wanting to apply this to our field but we have a horse and cow and didn't know if this would be safe for them to graze on afterwards. I've done some research and can't find the answer.
    A

    Bifen IT cannot be used in animal grazing pastures.  Essentria All Purpose Insecticide Concentrate can be used in animal grazing pastures for ant and tick control.

    Q
    Can I use Bifen IT in drains to kill roaches?
    A

    Bifen IT is not labeled for use in drains. Roaches can be seen coming out of drains because more than likely they were looking for a water source. For the best roach control, we recommend using a Roach Control Kit. Please view our How to Get Rid of Roaches article for other tips and information.

    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.

    Should I powerwash our house before or after using Bifen I/T for spiders?

  • 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.

  • Asked by Simone
    04/21/2011
    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.

  • Asked by Thomas from Bradenton, Fl

    Q
    Is there a danger that citrus trees will absorb Bifen IT thru the SOIL if I spray my lawn for chinch bugs?
    I am concerned whether the citrus fruit may be harmful to eat if the surrounding lawn area is treated. I know not to get any over-spray on the trees/fruit but I am not clear as to possible absorption via the soil.
    A
    Bifen IT does not move through the soil. As long as you keep all spray applications out of the root zone and do not allow spray to drift toward the trees, the trees will not be affected by Bifen IT.

  • Asked by Patrice from California

    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.

  • Asked by Mike from Texas

    Q
    Scorpion Control in Lawn
    I use Cy Kick CS around my home but my yard is rather large and Cy Kick CS can get pricey. I'm looking to save a few dollars and spray another type of liquid pesticide. I was thinking Bifen IT but wasnt sure of it's effectiveness and residual for controlling Scorpions in my lawn. Granuals wont work since we have watering restrictions in South Texas. Any advice?
    A
    The Cy Kick CS you have been using is a great product for Scorpions but we do understand the need for more cost effective options. You want to go with a product that will sit on top of the surface better than the Bifen IT. If you dont have any dark surfaces to treat, you could use a product like Cyper WP. It is a wettable powder you would mix with water and spray in the same manor you would the Cy Kick CS. A 1lb jar will yield 24-48 gallons of mixed solution depending on the mix ratio you use. If you do have dark surfaces to treat and you are worried about a visible residue, you could swap to something like Equil Lambda 9.7. The problem with treating for scorpions is they are so difficult to kill that it requires a higher dose of chemical per gallon with most products, and a wider area you have to cover. There is not going to be an huge difference in price between many of the products as they all use roughly the same amounts. The Onslaught FastCap Spider and Scorpion Insecticide is a newer product that is supposed to give a better/faster knock down and a longer residual. It may be worth it to try this product as it will give you a few more gallons of solution than the Cy Kick and you may have to spray less often.
