    Q
    Trying to keep spiders,ants and other insects from coming in the house. Should I use Bifen IT or Bifen XTS?
    A

    Both Bifen IT and Bifen XTS are both labeled for the insects your are targeting and they can both be broadcast across your lawn as well. The biggest difference between the two is that Bifen IT is water based and Bifen XTS is oil based and has more of the active ingredient in the solution.

    Q
    How fast does Bifen IT kill armyworms?
    I sprayed and 3 days later and I still see a lot of armyworms when using soap water flush. It does seem like some come up and stop moving and die. However, so far it isn't very effective.
    A

    Bifen IT is not a contact kill product, it is a residual product that can take a few days to start killing the insects that you are treating for.  After you apply it to your lawn, it is important to avoid mowing and watering for at least three days. This gives the product time to do what its designed for. They still may move but will eventually die.

    Q
    What if a cat steps in the wet mix of Bifen IT on concrete and licks her paws? Will it poison the cat?
    A

    Keep in mind that, when used as directed, Bifen IT is diluted at 1 oz. per gallon of water. This is only a large enough amount active ingredient to kill small insects. This small amount should not be harmful to your cat. Rule of thumb is to keep pets out of the treated area for about 1 hour to allow it to dry.

    Q
    Will Bifen IT kill bed bugs?
    Will Bifen IT kill and eliminate bed bugs and their eggs?
    A

    Bifen I/T woud not be recommended for controlling bedbugs at all. 

    If bedbugs have been found in the home you will want to follow our detailed bedbug guide which will take you through each step necessary to completely eliminate the population. As you go through the guide linked below you will see the non chemical steps (such as washing and drying clothes and linens) as well as chemical steps including where and how to use each product. Our Bed Bug kits are the best route to make sure you are using the best products on the market and without breaking the bank. Each kit is designed to treat a different size home or number of rooms, so you can choose the one best suited to the areas you have effected by the pest problem. The kits come with all the products need to do a complete treatment in all the places bed bugs can hide and enough product to complete roughly 4 repeat applications. Since every home and infestation is different you will want to do diligent and meticulous treatments with the products every 7-14 days until you can go 30 days in a row with no signs of live bed bugs and no new bites on the occupants of the home. If you have any questions regarding info you see in our guide or the products within the kits please let us know and we would be more than happy to assist you.

  • Asked by Layla
    10/13/2018
    Q
    Does Bifen IT interfere with Termidor SC?
    Is Bifen a repellent? I was thinking about spraying our whole yard with it, but we've had a termidor trench treatment around the house, will bifen interfere with that? Also is spraying the lawn a good way to kill ants? Or do I need to drench all the mounds as well? They're not fire ants, just little black ones
    A

    Bifen IT will not affect your trenching treatment done with Termidor SC.  Bifen I/T is considered a repellent.  When treating for ants, you can spray the lawn, trees and shrubs, along with 3 foot up the side of your home, 3 feet out into the soil all the way around the perimeter foundation of your home, around doors and windows and around the eaves and soffits of your home monthly.
