    Q
    Confused, I am treating for army worms and chinch bugs do I water Bifen IT in after application are not ?
    A

    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.

  • 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.
