Bifen IT and Fendona CS should not be mixed together. This would not make either product work better or produce better results. However, it could possibly make treated areas repellent to bugs, lessening the effectiveness of the treatment. Neither product can do its job of killing insects if the insects are avoiding the treated areas.
We would suggest rotating with Transport Mikron or Permethrin SFR 36.8% for general pest control applications. Typically you can rotate about every year or if you notice a decrease in effectiveness you can rotate sooner.
Bifen IT is labeled for roaches can be used to help eliminate a roach infestation. However, it should not be the only product that you use as roaches are difficult to treat and usually more than one type of product is necessary.

You may also want to take a look at our Roach Control Guide for more information on implementing a complete treatment program.
It is safe for children and pets after the Bifen IT application is completely dry.
Bifen IT is labeled for springtails and should work well to help you get rid of them. It does not kill on contact. The amount of time it takes for a springtail to die after coming into contact with a treated area will depend on a number of factors such as how healthy the springtail is, what stage of life it is in, and how long it spends in contact with a treated surface. It could take anywhere from a couple of hours up to a full day. Also, keep in mind that if you are not treating the main nest, and only the satellite colony, you are only be temporarily fixing your problem. More will appear as they continue to migrate. Springtails are attracted to areas that are high in moisture so if there is a moisture issue this will need to be identified and addressed as well. Until the moisture is gone or the main nest is found and eliminated, you will have an ongoing battle with this pest. You may want to look over our Springtails Treatment Guide for more tips and information.
