    Q
    Can I mix Bifen IT and Humic Acid liquid in a tank sprayer?
    I would like to spray Bifen IT when I spray other products. Can it be mixed with Humic Acid in a tank sprayer? Are there any common products that it won't tank mix with such as an herbicide like Tenacity?
    A

    Bifen IT can be tank mixed with other products in a tank sprayer. For something like humic acid, we always recommend a small jar test for compatibility before mixing a full tank. It can also be mixed with other herbicides as long as the herbicide label does not state otherwise. You just want to make sure you apply the right amount of products per gallon and per 1,000 sqft.

    Q
    How long for Bifen to dry if sprayed at dusk (dark-no sun) while temps are in the 50's?
    I sprayed just before dark on a mostly cloudy evening with the temp being 55 degrees. It got dark as I was spraying and now my dog has to go out to potty. How long will it take to dry in these conditions? I don't want it to get on her feet and legs and her end up licking it off.
    A

    Generally, after an application of Bifen IT it should take a few hours to dry outside, typically 4-6 hours.

    Q
    Does Bifen XTS last longer than Bifen IT
    Does XTS hold up better to the elements outside than IT?
    A
    Typically oil based products such as Bifen XTS will not be able to sustain a longer residual than a water based version such as Bifen I/T, as the UV rays from the sun tend to break down those oils a little faster. In most instances Bifen I/T would be the more appropriate and easier to mix product of the two, and the most versatile with where it can be applied.

    Q
    Can I add a colored dye for application to ensure overlapping and coverage of Bifen I/T?
    I've just purchased 10 acres, and a home on the property. In just 1week I've found 6 ticks on my two dogs. I found one that got under my shirt, and attached itself to my waist line. Need something that will kill these pests. I want something that can be mixed in my pull behind sprayer that will eliminate this tick infestation.
    A

    You can use a temporary marking dye such as Turf Mark Blue with the Bifen I/T or any insecticide you plan to use for tick control. Bifen would be a great choice, and in the areas of the property you suspect the highest populations of ticks, you can mix in an IGR such as Archer IGR to help stop their reproductive cycle and reduce the amount of future generations you would be contending with in the yard. We also have a handy Tick Control Guide which you can review for tips to get the most out of your treatment, including how to videos and step by step instructions and recommendations.

    Q
    Does dilution of Bifen IT matter for lawn application?
    I plan to use Bifen on my lawn. Does the amount of water matter as long as I get the appropriate amount of product per 1000 sq ft? I know it's 1 oz per gallon per 1000 sq ft, but does the amount of water really matter as long as I get 1oz per 1000 sq ft?
    A

    It will depend on what you are applying it for. For instance, if you are trying to control insects that walk on the blades of grass or around the thatch layer, if you use too much water, you could push all of the product below the thatch and those insects may not be affected by the application. If you are targeting insects that are below the thatch such as chinch bugs, more water can help you get the water where you need it to be. Please refer to the Bifen IT product label for complete instructions on your target pest.

  • Asked by Josh from Northeast
    04/08/2021
    Q
    Is there a proper application window when using Bifen as part of a spring protocol on the yard ? Or can it be used at any point in time when using a pre emergent and fertilizer?
    A

    There isn’t a set window of application that has to be maintained or followed, but we often recommend giving a few days between treatment if you are applying several items to the lawn to avoid any unnecessary stress to it. Pre emergents and fertilizers usually require a higher water volume or watering in after application, whereas the Bifen I/T would use less water per surface area and would need to remain on the surface and not be washed away. Application a few days after a pre em or fertilizer application would be fine.

    Q
    Any tips or hints on using Bifen IT on a bad outdoor chigger infestation?
    We live in Northern Louisiana in a wooded area. We keep the woods well cut back from our yard, but in our wet climate, the under growth is thick. About 10 years ago, our deer population exploded, and so did our chigger and tick problem. We live in a subdivision, so we can't hunt the deer. We have to try to treat the chiggers and ticks. I read that Bifenthrin sprayed every two weeks is helpful. Any extra suggestions?
    A
    You can use Bifen IT for chiggers ticks and possibly add an IGR like Nyguard for the ticks. Treatments for chiggers should begin in April/May and could need to continue through the summer as new chiggers move into the area. Treating the entire lawn is of little benefit because chiggers avoid direct sunlight and normally will not infest areas that are mowed or otherwise well maintained. Focus treatment on the unkept areas of the lawn and lawn edge.
