  • Asked by Russ from Albuquerque, Nm
    04/01/2016
    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?
    A

    You should contact your local cooperative extension office to find out the best time to start spraying a product like Bifen IT in your region.  They are more familiar with the timing of insect activity in your area.  We can say that it should be applied monthly through the beetles active months.

  • Asked by Jim from Shorewood, Il
    04/30/2016
    Q
    Can I use Bifen IT for mosquitos near edible vegetation?
    I am looking for an insecticide that takes care of mosquitos and gnats and can be sprayed on or near vegetables. Is there a product that can do this? I read that Bifen IT is not permitted for use on vegetation. Many thanks for the help in advance.
    A

    We would recommend using Hi Yield Indoor/Outdoor Permethrin 10% Insecticide. It is safe for use on edibles and is labeled for mosquitoes. The mixing ratio is 1-3 oz. per 4 gallons of water. This will treat approximately 4000 square feet. This can also be used in your lawn for mosquitoes as well.

    Q
    Can Bifen I/T be mixed with Honor Guard fungicide together in a sprayer for application?
    I am wanting to mix the fungicide and the pesticide in the sprayer to kill two birds with one stone. will this work?
    A

    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.

    Q
    Can Bifen I/T and Pivot IGR be applied with a thermal fogger?
    A

    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.

  • Asked by Geri from Kansas
    06/26/2023
    Q
    Hi, will Bifen IT kill grasshoppers and their eggs?
    A
    Bifen IT would be a good choice for grasshopper control. You should start applications before the grasshoppers have a chance to hatch for best control. If you already have grasshoppers you can use Bifen at the highest usage rate of 1 oz of product per 1 gallon of water for the quickest knockdown. Use sufficient amounts of water to help the product get to the soil layers. Once the Bifen has dried it will be completely safe for pets and children to resume their normal activity in the areas that have been treated. The Bifen is safe to be used on anything non-edible in the yard and will not harm trees, bushes, or flowers.

  • Asked by Ethan from Sparta, Wi
    03/27/2024
    Q
    Will Bifen IT work if the temperatures drop below freezing every night?
    I have a structure that is having clover mite issues. Bifen I/T works great at controlling them, but due to some odd weather they came a little early this year. The temperatures every night are dropping below freezing, but day time is around 50. If I do a treatment are the temperatures at night going to negatively effect the residual effects of the chemical.
    A
    Bifen IT can be applied during the day in temperatures above 50 degrees and will not be effected by colder temperatures at night once dry.  At the highest rate (1 oz per gallon) it can last up to 30 days outside.

  • Asked by Chris from St. Louis Mo
    06/24/2023
    Q
    Would Onslaught or Oneguard be better at mosquito control?
    A

    Both products are great, however, if you want to use an "all in one" product, OneGuard will be the better option as this product is a multi-mode of action concentrate that provides long-lasting control of mosquitoes and other flying and crawling insect pests. It contains a powerful combination of knockdown agent, killing agent, synergist, and NyGuard Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) in a single product. It features controlled-release technology to ensure effective knockdown, kill, and control of insects. It has a dual mode of action to help increase efficiency, plus it reduces mosquito populations by preventing them from reproducing. It is designed to kill mosquitoes such as Aedes, Anopheles and Culex that may transmit West Nile virus, Zika virus and Chikungunya virus. Please be sure to review the product label for more information and complete application instructions. Also, please take a moment to review our Mosquito Control Guide here.

    Q
    Horseflies
    Will Bifen work on horseflies and blackflies? Do you apply the same way?
    A

    Bifen IT is labeled for flies and can be applied at 1 oz. per gallon of water per 1,000 sq. ft. as directed.  However, because flies in general can be more challenging to control with spraying alone, we suggest you refer to our helpful Fly Treatment & Control Guide for treatment recommendations and for links to related products.
