    Q
    Is Bifen IT harmful to chickens?
    I have 18 chickens that free range and I'm wondering if they will be ok if I use bifen it?
    A
    As long as you keep chickens out of the area while applying Bifen I/T and until it has time to completely dry it should be safe for your chickens to return to that area. It also will not harm the chickens if they eat an insect that has died from the Bifen I/T treatment.

    Q
    Bifen IT was used near raspberry bushes, what to do?
    My wife sprayed the lawn and around the house with Bifen I/T at a rate of 1 oz/ gallon. While spraying she became concerned that she may have gotten some on our raspberry bushes and within 10-15 minutes of spraying she thoroughly sprayed them with clear well water. Should we be concerned about eating the raspberries as they are ready to be harvested?
    A
    It is typically recommended to dispose of anything edible that could have been sprayed during a treatment with Bifen IT.

    Q
    How long does it take Bifen I/T to work on mosquitoes?
    I sprayed bifen I/T all over my lawn, bushes, and trees during the heat of the day as recommended for mosquitoes. However, after sunset mosquitoes were all out again feasting on my family. did I use the right product to kill mosquitoes.
    A
    Bifen IT is to give off a residual to last up to 30 days outdoors for the insects that come into contact with the residual left behind. With mosquitoes this will take some time to see any results because they are flying insects. It can take time to see any result after application.

  • Asked by Vanessa from Corinth Ms
    06/18/2015
    Q
    I have an above ground pool with a deck around it and has become a breeding Mosquito.
    There is a ditch around bottom of pool filled with leaves and is probably damp. Will the Bifen spray kill Mosquitos that may be breeding underneath the leaves?
    A
    Bifen IT will only kill the mosquitoes that are sprayed directly or that contact a treated surface.  The best thing to do would be to try an eliminate the leaves and debri in the ditch to remove the breeding site for them and apply Bifen to the underside of leaves of trees and bushes as that is where the adults during the day.

  • Asked by Tim from New Lisbon
    06/18/2015
    Q
    Should I spray Perimeter or whole lawn with Bifen IT?
    I have been spraying the whole lawn in the past as well as the perimeter. Is it just as effective to spray only the perimeter or should one spray inside of that like on trees and shrubs? Can you please help me on this question
    A
    Whether you should spray your whole lawn or just the perimeter with Bifen I/T or any other insecticide is entirely dependent on what pests you are primarily treating for. For example, if fleas, ants, chinch bugs or crickets are your main pests, we would suggest continuing to spray your whole lawn. If mosquitoes and flies are your main pests, then focusing your sprays on bushes, trees and areas of dense foliage would be best. But at any time if you feel it gives you better control over all the pests in your area to treat the whole yard then that is entirely up to you.

  • Asked by Phillip from Bridge City Texas
    06/10/2015
    Q
    In a 15 gal sprayer can I mix Bifen IT with a weed and feed and spray just once to save time and water?
    A
    Yes you can mix Talstar with most weed and feeds successfully for the most part. Most weed and feeds will have a small section on doing a test "tank mix" so you can test to make sure the products will blend together without issue. We do recommend doing a test tank mix to be sure the products will mix together without separating.
