    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.

    Q
    What do I need to rid my home of ants and spiders?
    A
    We would recommend our Complete Ant Kit because it fills the dietary needs of most species of household ants providing effective ant control indoors and out and Bifen IT as a general insecticide spray that is tough on ants and spiders. Be sure to keep bait and spray completely separate to prevent contaminating the bait. Place the bait stations along ant trails and close to ant activity and spray along baseboards window frames, door frames, corners of the rooms, and around the perimeter of your home spraying 2 feet up the side and spraying 2 feet out on the ground all the way around your home.

    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.

  • Asked by Douglas from United States
    07/07/2014
    Q
    What product do you recommend for long lasting residential mosquito control using a mist blower?
    A
    Bifen IT is our most popular choice for mosquito control that can be used in a mist blower.  You would apply once a month.  The most important thing to remember when treating for mosquitoes is that they hang out on the underside of leaves and shrubs.  You should treat all shrubs, bushes and trees around the outside patio or wherever you hang out at around the house.  You should also treat the tree line in your yard near the forest if one exists.  Remember to not only treat the main bush or shrub but also the underside of the leaves.

  • Asked by Jim from Greensburg, Pa

    Q
    How do I treat red flying ants outside the home?
    Once a year I get thousands of red flying ants (winged and un-winged) outside the home around my deck usually in September. I feel fairly confident they are not termites as they have three bodies instead of two. Which product do you recommend I use in a sprayer? Thanks for assistance.
    A
    Bifen It would be a great option for a general pest control spray around the home regularly to kill the ants when they swarm and emerge, as well as any other insects in the area. You would mix it at the rate of 1oz per gallon of water and spray it around the foundation, lawn, bushes, trees, eaves and edges of the home, window and door frames, etc. Bifen It will hold up to the outdoor elements roughly 30-60 days.

    Q
    What to use to get rid of chinch bugs in lawn
    A
    Bifen IT is one of our most popular products for Chinch Bug Control. The key is to use lots of water to carry the Bifen IT down to the thatch layer underneath the grass, where the chinch bugs do the most damage.  Please read the product label for proper application instructions.

    Q
    When should I spray Bifen for pine beetles?
    Apr, May? It has been a dry winter/spring here near Albuquerque. Do I spray earlier because the bugs fly sooner? What is best part of month and/or moisture amounts to spray?

This will treat approximately 4000 square feet. This can also be used in your lawn for mosquitoes as well.
