    Bifen IT will kill any gnats that come into contact with a treated area.  You may want to look over our article on Getting Rid of Gnats for more information.

    Q
    Wasps
    A

    Bifen IT is labeled to treat for wasps, but it is not an instant knockdown. Bifen IT will kill wasps that come in contact with it. Retreat after 21 days if signs of renewed activity exist. You may want to consider our Wasp and Hornet Kit which contains the residual insecticide Cyzmic CS, plus Wasp-X to kill insects very quickly when you locate nests.

    Q
    Does Bifen on plants taste bad to deer or rabbits
    As a side benefit to spraying Bifen for yard pests such as ticks, etc. Does Bifen which has been sprayed on plants make them distasteful to deer and/or rabbits?
    A

    We are not aware of a bad taste left behind after an application of Bifen IT, however, although minute amounts of the residual are not harmful, we do not recommend applying this product in areas where animals tend to forage. Instead, you could use a more natural product such as EcoVia EC.

    Q
    Safety PPE applying Bifen IT
    What is the proper mask or respirator that should be worn when applying with a backpack blower outdoors ?
    A

    You should not need a full respirator mask when using Bifen IT in a mist blower, but we would recommend at least wearing long sleeves, long pants, socks and shoes, and a nose and mouse mask for extra safety. Our KN95 masks would be fine for this application. Of course, anytime you are applying product vertically, be sure to wear adequate eye protection as well.

  • Asked by David from Fleming Island Florida 32003
    07/12/2023
    Q
    Will Bifen IT kill sod webworms and the moths that are flying up out of the yard?
    A

    The key to sod webworm control is focusing on the larvae, therefore while Bifen IT is a great product the best time for applications is to control the young larvae, if possible.
    The larvae feed mostly at night. Therefore, controlling sod webworms with chemicals successfully means spraying in the late afternoon to ensure ingestion of the poison.
    For the moth stage, spraying Bifen IT on the lawn, plants, trees, bushes, shrubs, etc, and focusing on the underside of the leaves will help with the moth control. For some more useful information please read our sod-webworm treatment guide here. Please let us know if you have any questions or need anything else. We appreciate your business.

    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
    Once you spray and wasps land/touch Bifen, can they "wash" it off?
    We've sprayed directly around our pool, and I have seen several land and dip in the water. I'm severely allergic and want to kill them all!
    A

    Water should not wash away the residual from Bifen IT just like rain would not. Bifenthrin, the active ingredient, interferes with the nervous system of insects when they eat or touch it

    Q
    Would mixing this with dish soap help make it stick better to vegetation?
    This and Talstar P work awesome!!! I apply maybe every other month unless we get heavy rain coming through. Would mixing this with dish soap or baby shampoo help it stick better to leaves etc for mosquitos like some lawn services do when making their own fertilizer mix? Any other solution?
    A

    We could not advise you to mix dish soap with Bifen IT  because that would be considered an off-label usage. You can mix it with a spreader sticker such as Hi-Yield Spreader Sticker to achieve the results you are looking for.
