Yes, Bifen IT is safe for Hibiscus bushes and it's labeled to kill ants, we would just recommend to avoid spraying the blooms.
If you have already sprayed bifenthrin, then we would advise waiting at least 30 days to apply a non-repellent such as Taurus or Termidor Foam. The Bifen will have a faster kill than the non-repellents, so it does not offer the same transfer effect and would over-power either of these insecticides if applied in the same area. In the future, it is best to spot treat active infestations with non-repellents whenever possible.
Bifen I/T can be used around cattle except in areas where they will be grazing. All animals need to be kept out of the area during application and until everything is fully dry. Once the area is dry, the animals can safely return.
Bifen IT is labeled for "weevils" in general and the active ingredient, bifenthrin, is known to be effective for pine weevils. We also suggest that you contact your local cooperative extension office for tips on the best time to treat in your specific area
Bifen IT can be mixed with an insect growth regulator such as Nyguard IGR to break the flea cycle. Nyguard IGR will prevent the young from maturing into reproducing adults, thereby keeping the colony from getting larger while the Bifen works to eliminate. Bifen should be applied every 2 weeks outside for flea treatment and Nyguard once a month.
Bifen IT is not labeled for lice and there is no need to treat outside for lice as they do not live long off of their host. We do carry products that can be used for lice control. Please take a few moments to review our article on How to Get Rid of Head Lice for more information.
We apologize but are unaware of anything that can be done to a pond if sprayed with Bifen IT. You can try reaching out to the manufacturer Control Solutions for advice. They can be reached at 800-242-5562.
Bifen IT can be used on non-bearing fruit and nut trees that will not produce a harvestable crop during the season of application.
Bifen I/T is used in poultry housing and facilities and as long as the chickens are removed from the area while you treat. You should still be able to use it in their grazing areas with no issue since they are not actually feeding on the grass/potential seeds place out but on the insects in that area after everything has dried. If you had any concerns with the Bifen I/T usage, another option that is safe to use in grazing areas is Essentria All Purpose. You still have to remove the chickens during the application but once dry is safe to return just like the Bifen IT. Neither product should have any effect on their eggs at all as long as you are following usage instructions.
Bifen IT is not labeled to be used in pastures or in areas with grazing animals at all. We would recommend contacting the manufacturer directly for confirmation on reentry time. To our knowledge, it is recommend to keep grazing animals out of the treated areas for the entire growing season. Control Solutions can be reached at 281-892-2500
We don't recommend spraying Bifen IT on roses, since it isn't labeled specifically for roses. We would recommend you use a product like Bayer Advanced All-In-One Rose and Flower Care that is labeled for use on roses.
We do NOT recommend spraying any liquid in electrical outlets as this is a shock hazard. We would recommend applying a dry insecticide dust such as Cimexa with a duster. The mixture can be applied to cracks and crevices inside and outside the structure and just eliminates the ants that come into contact with the areas-not instant kill. We would recommend that you bait inside the kitchen with the products in this Kit. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article.
We really haven't had anyone with this particular issue in the past but we do have an idea of what might be happening. Moles eat insects. They have to eat a lot of insects every day and have huge appetites. We think it is possible that the Bifen IT has killed their food source and they are searching all over for more food. Once they realize there is no food to be had they should move on quickly. You can also try trapping or baiting if they are not moving on fast enough for you. You may also want to look over our mole control guide for more information.
Bifen IT is safe to apply on lawns for insect control if used according to the instructions on the product label.
Yes, the Bifen IT may be used on both the inside and outside of awnings.
Bifen IT has not been shown to be very effective at controlling Raspberry Crazy Ants. Termidor SC used outdoors and Phantom used indoors have been the most effective products to control crazy Raspberry Ants. Ant baits and synthetic pyrethroid insecticides do not seem to do an effective job controlling this ant species. Texas A&M University has done extensive research regarding these ants and you can find detailed articles on their extension website.
Bifen IT can be applied monthly to the exterior areas and entry points monthly. We would also recommend using the Catchmaster Disposable Fly Trap (975-8) to control those pesky Hover Flies. Place it about 15 feet from your front door.
Yes, Bifen IT can be applied to the lawn for flea control. Please take a look at our Flea Control Guide for more information.
Yes, Bifen IT is pet safe once dry.
Bifen IT is not recommended for bedbug control. We normally recommend one of our Bedbug Kits as they contain all of the necessary products for a complete bed bug treatment. Please take a moment to look over our Bed Bug Guide for more information on how to implement a successful bed bug treatment program.
