When using Bifen IT for armyworms irrigation is not necessary. You actually need to try to have no irrigation or rainfall for at least 24 hours after the application. Under chinch bug treatment it does advice that in order to optimize the penetration of the insecticide you can water the area prior to the treatment. If grass is being kept at a long mowing height or if the thatch layer is excessive, use higher volume treatments. It may be necessary to use higher application rates (up to 1 fluid oz. per 1000 square feet) to control populations made up of both adults and nymphs in mid-summer. Complete instructions are on the product label for each pest as well.
Bifen IT may be applied at the low, medium and high rate of either 0.33 oz./gallon of water for prevention, low level infestations, 0.5 oz./gallon of water for general indoor or outdoor use, or 1.0 oz./gallon of water for severe infestations, less frequent treatments, longer residual, quicker knockdown.
