Yes, you can mix an insecticide like BIfen IT and a fungicide like Honor Guard PPZ together in the same tank as long as niether product label prohibits such mixtures. Be sure always to follow the more restrictive product label and to plan your dilution rates correctly for each product in the volume of water you are using. We suggest a small jar test before mixing a large amount of products together for the first time.
Bifen IT may kill bed bugs that contact the treated area. Keep in mind we would not recommend this product for Bed bug control as certain strains are resistant to the active ingredient. Please check out our Bed Bug Guide. You will find the "How To's" in bed bug control and also a listing of our very effective kits.
Bifen IT and Pivot 10 IGR should NOT be applied in a thermal or ULV fogger. It should be dispersed in a hand pump sprayer, backpack sprayer, hose end sprayer or mist blower. We do carry thermal fogging concentrates that would be fine to apply.
They should not be present during application or while it is wet. You should only apply Bifen IT to the listed areas on the product label per page 13.
We recommend getting the little black bug identified so that we can properly advise you on treatment options. You can contact your local cooperative extension office for insect identifications.
A presence of springtails means there is usually a moisture issue under the house or around the house. Springtail eradication depends on eliminating the moisture source. If the springtails are breeding from under the slab, then the granules around the outside of the house will not effect them and they will be able to get into the house. It is imperative to correct any moisture issues or water that puddles up against the house. You could use Bifen IT inside and on the house outside for some extra killing power in addition to the granules.
Typically, pesticides alone will not take care of a springtail problem. It is required to fix whatever moisture issue is causing the problem. You should read our "How To Get Rid of Springtails" article for further information
A good product to broadcast across your lawn is called Bifen I/T. It treats for various types of pests and can be used both inside along the baseboards, cracks and crevices and outside as well as a broadcast across the lawn. It is safe for pets when it is dry so remove the dogs from the area while spraying. This product is not labeled for fruit trees.
For fruit trees, I would recommend Monterey Fruit Tree Spray Plus. It is broadly labeled product that can be used on edibles.
