    Q
    Will Bifen IT leave a permanent residue on the siding of a house?
    I have a customer who is saying they have a white reside on their siding and the rain hasen't washed it off yet. Will it come off in time or do I need to pressure wash their entire house? They are very good people so I want them to be happy!
    A

    According to the manufacturer, Bifen IT is equivalant to spraying plain water as it dries clear and doesn’t stain. The residual outdoors is 30 days so any white film would fade over time.

    Q
    Can I use Bifen IT to treat for crazy ants?
    A

    Bifen IT has not been shown to be very effective at controlling Raspberry Crazy Ants. Termidor SC  used outdoors and Phantom used indoors have been the most effective products to control crazy Raspberry Ants. Ant baits and synthetic pyrethroid insecticides do not seem to do an effective job controlling this ant species. Texas A&M University has done extensive research regarding these ants and you can find detailed articles on their extension website.

    Q
    Will Bifen IT affect the butterflies in my yard?
    A

    Bifen IT is not labeled for beneficial insects like butterflies.  However, it is not really selective so it has the potential to kill them if they come in contact with a treated area.  To avoid contacting beneficial insects, apply in the early morning or late evening when they are less active in the area.

    Bifen IT can be applied monthly to the exterior areas and entry points monthly. We would also recommend using the Catchmaster Disposable Fly Trap (975-8) to control those pesky Hover Flies. Place it about 15 feet from your front door.
