    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.

    Q
    How often can I spray centipede lawn for spittlebugs that fly?
    Have sprayed the entire lawn a month ago…They came back right within 2 weeks in large numbers—- Sprayed again the entire lawn then…now 2 weeks later they are coming back, especially in eared of the yard. Can I spray as often as needed Ordovician needs to wait?
    A

    Bifen IT should be applied every 30 days. If there is a lot of rain that month that may affect the residual it can reapplied at 3 weeks but not any sooner than that. Bifen is not a contact kill & leaves a residual that continues killing as it comes in contact with treated areas. Too many applications too soon will make the product stop working entirely

    Q
    Can you spray Bifen in the soil for gnats?
    For some reason, I keep getting gnats even if I dry out the soil for my indoor plants. Once I water it a little, they come right back. I'm afraid to bring my plants inside for the winter because I had such a big problem last year. Can I spray the soil to get rid of them? Or is Bifen just for the foliage?
    A

    Bifen IT can be applied as a soil drench and to the plant itself.  Typically just allow the soil to dry out completely as this kills all larvae in the soil that need moisture to survive.  We also have a guide here.

    Q
    Is there any benefit to using a product like Bifen I/T along with NyGaurd IGR? Or is it unnecessary?
    Based on the product info, I see NyGuard helps prevent the reproduction of insects. Does using a product like BIFEN I/T along with NyGuard make sense? Or is it just overkill?
    A

    Depending on what you're treating for, we almost always recommend using an IGR such as NyGuard IGR with Bifen IT. If you are just doing prevention there is no need to use one or when treating for pests such as spiders or ants. However, other insects such as mosquitoes, fleas, etc do require one.

    Q
    Is the product safe to spray around tropical fish tanks? I hate the spiders that have taken over my hatchery.
    A

    Bifen IT is extremely toxic to fish if it touches the water. We would advise keeping a safe distance between the tanks & where you're spraying the product. Otherwise, you may consider using EcoVia EC which is safe around aquatic life. Just keep in mind that it will have a lingering smell unlike the Bifen.
