  • 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 George from Gilmer, Texas
    07/29/2023
    Q
    Will this kill the frogs and lizards? We love them.
    A

    Bifen has not proven harmful to lizards or frogs. Other than eliminating the food source of the toads and lizards, Bifen IT when mixed correctly is only strong enough to kill small insects and will have no effect on lizards or anything of that size or larger.

    Q
    Shelf life...
    I purchased a gallon about a year and a half ago but haven't used it as much as I anticipated. It's currently separated and I'm wondering if it can simply be remixed or if it's gone bad and needs to be disposed of.
    A

    Bifen IT has a shelf life of 3-5 years if kept in a cool dry area. If you notice separation, that is normal and you can shake it up and it still be effective.

  • Asked by Cole
    09/11/2023
    Q
    Will Bifen I/T kill bed bugs and leave a residue to eradicate them?
    A

    Yes, Bifen IT is labeled for bed bugs & leaves a residual that will continue killing. However, it is not the top product that we recommend, we generally recommend using Temprid FX Insecticide. While they both have residuals, they take the Temprid back with them once they are in contact with it. You may also consider using one of our bed bug kits.

    Q
    Will Bifen IT kill oleander caterpillars?
    A
    Bifen IT is labeled for leaf feeing caterpillars.

  • 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 Abby from Spartanburg, Sc
    06/02/2024
    Q
    Will Bifen IT harm chickens that eat plants that have been sprayed?
    Also, is it safe to eat eggs or chickens that have consumed Bifen IT treated foliage?
    A

    Bifen I/T is used in poultry housing and facilities as long as the chickens are removed from the area while you treat them. You should still be able to use it in their grazing areas with no issue since they are not actually feeding on the grass/potential seeds placed out but on the insects in that area after everything has dried. If you have any concerns with the Bifen I/T usage, another option that is safe to use in grazing areas is Essentria All Purpose. You still have to remove the chickens during the application but once dry is safe to return just like the Bifen IT. Neither product should have any effect on their eggs at all as long as you are following usage instructions.

    Q
    Is it pet-safe?
    A

    Bifen IT is safe for use around pets when used according to the label. You should always keep children and pets away from the away while you are treating, and then once the treatment is dry it is perfectly safe to allow pets to re-enter the area.

  • Asked by Marc
    02/14/2010
    Q
    Is Bifen IT effective for weevils?
    I have a problem with white pine weevils. Is there a better alternative that would be more effective?
    A
    Bifen IT is labeled for "weevils" in general and the active ingredient Bifenthrin is known to be effective for white pine weevils. It is important when using a foliar application that treatments start when adult weevils first start to appear in spring, usually around mid-April. At this time, Bifenthrin seems to be the only active ingredient available to homeowners for white pine weevil control. We also suggest you contact your local cooperative extension office for more tips on the best treatment time in your specific area.

    Q
    Is it safe to eat basil if Bifen IT was sprayed near it?
    My husband sprayed our lawn with Bifen IT, and there is some basil that are in pots out there. He said he didn't spray the basil, but I am now concerned about whether it can be eaten because it was sprayed near it. What do you think?
    A
    Unless the plants were actually sprayed you do not have to worry. Bifen IT does not move through the soil or turn into a vapor of any sort.
