    Q

    Spray cat posts
    A

    Bifen IT is NOT labeled to be used on any kind of pet bedding or play toys. Bifen IT is safe for people and pets to be around after the treated area has dried. You would want to keep the pets out of the treated area for at least an hour. We recommend Sterifab, an insecticide that kills insects on contact and is safe for pets once it dries

    Q
    What is best product for rhodendron root weevils?
    I need something for both adults and larvae.
    A

    Bifen I/T is labeled to kill weevils of several different forms and has shown to be successful through the studies of many universities on rhododendren. You would need to spray the entire plant down to try and not only kill the weevils but also to hopefully repel them from coming in the first place. Good plant health is a key factor in eliminating and preventing weevils of all kinds.  Bifen should work to kill some currently and the most in the spring. Just use heavy water volumes to push it through the soil and retreat as necessary for new activity. If for any reason you dont see the full control with the bifenthrin you can always try something like Acephate 97 as a systemic and use the Talstar as a foliar spray and as a general insecticide spray around your home to help keep down any other unwanted pests.

    Q
    Can I use Bifen IT on the rafters of my pool enclosure to prevent spider webs from forming?
    A

    Bifen IT would not prevent spiders from forming webs but would help to kill spiders or other insects that contact a treated surface long enough to receive a lethal dose.  To prevent spider webs it would be better to use a product like Web Out.

    Bifen IT is labeled to treat for bed bugs and should only be applied as a crack and crevice application.

  • Asked by Stuart from Leesville, Sc

    Q
    I have a baseball field to spray for fire ants. What rate do you use Bifen IT at and how much to cover approx. two acres?
    A

    The best control will be achieved by using broadcast treatments in combination with mound drenches when using Bifen IT. This will control present colonies along with foraging workers and newly mated fly-in queens. It is critical either to use high volume treatments or to irrigate prior to application if the soil is dry. Apply 1 fl. oz. per 1,000 square feet when using broadcast treatments. For mound drenches, dilute 1 teaspoon of Bifen I/T per gallon of water and use 1 to 2 gallons of finished dilution using sufficient force to penetrate the top and allow dilution to flood ant channels. Treat a four foot diameter around each ant mound. Application should be made in late evening or early morning when it is cooler (65

  • Asked by Macy from Goldsboro, Nc
    02/18/2017
    Q
    Can Bifen IT be used on the inside of the house for termites?
    A

    Bifen IT is labeled to treat active infestations inside as directed on the product label but would only kill those termites that actively make contact with a treated surface or are sprayed directly.  If you are dealing with subterranean termites, you want to use a product that has a "tranfer-kill" effect. Termidor SC is a great product to use to treat termites and prevention, or Termidor Foam for active only, both of which are non repellent and transfer back to the colony below ground. Please see our Termite Control Page. Scroll to the bottom of the page and find information on identification and treatment for termites.
