    Q
    Shelf life...
    I purchased a gallon about a year and a half ago but haven't used it as much as I anticipated. It's currently separated and I'm wondering if it can simply be remixed or if it's gone bad and needs to be disposed of.
    A

    Bifen IT has a shelf life of 3-5 years if kept in a cool dry area. If you notice separation, that is normal and you can shake it up and it still be effective.

    Q
    Will Bifen I/T kill bed bugs and leave a residue to eradicate them?
    A

    Yes, Bifen IT is labeled for bed bugs & leaves a residual that will continue killing. However, it is not the top product that we recommend, we generally recommend using Temprid FX Insecticide. While they both have residuals, they take the Temprid back with them once they are in contact with it. You may also consider using one of our bed bug kits.

  • 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 Abby from Spartanburg, Sc
    06/02/2024
    Q
    Will Bifen IT harm chickens that eat plants that have been sprayed?
    Also, is it safe to eat eggs or chickens that have consumed Bifen IT treated foliage?
    A

    Bifen I/T is used in poultry housing and facilities as long as the chickens are removed from the area while you treat them. 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 placed out but on the insects in that area after everything has dried. If you have 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 safe for use around pets when used according to the label. You should always keep children and pets away from the away while you are treating, and then once the treatment is dry it is perfectly safe to allow pets to re-enter the area.

    Q
    Product good for treating termites?
    A
    Bifen IT will kill termites that come in contact with the chemical. To eradicate termites you want to use a product that has a transfer effect. Termidor SC is a great product to use to treat termites. Please see our Termite Control Page. Scroll to the bottom of the page and find information on the identification and treatment of termites.

  • 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.

    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.
