    07/28/2019
    Q
    How far away from the perimeter of the house should I spray the Bifen IT/IGR to get rid of fleas and noseeums?
    A

    Bifen IT can be sprayed 3 feet up the side of the house, and 3 feet into the soil all the way around the perimteter foundation of the home.  When treating for fleas, you will need to apply under decks, under trees, in places where leaves or other yard debris accumulates or areas where dense shrubbery exists. There is little need to spray open, sunny areas, dry and dusty areas or hard surfaces such as patios or driveways as fleas will not be able to develop in those areas.  When treating for noseeums, you want to focus on treating those same areas, along with the understands of tree canopies, interior of shrubs and bushes, and damp areas in your lawn.

    Q
    Will Bifen IT kill bagworms? Do I need to wear a mask to apply it?
    A

    Bifen IT is labeled for bagworms and will kill them if applied before the bags have formed.  After the bags have formed, there is little you can do for control other than to physically remove them.  A mask is not required if you are applying in a well-venitlated area.

    Q
    Should I use surfactant with Bifen IT when applying around the foundation of my house and on vinyl siding?

    Q
    Can livestock graze after Bifen IT is applied?
    We have a tick and ant problem this year and I was wanting to apply this to our field but we have a horse and cow and didn't know if this would be safe for them to graze on afterwards. I've done some research and can't find the answer.
    A

    Bifen IT cannot be used in animal grazing pastures.  Essentria All Purpose Insecticide Concentrate can be used in animal grazing pastures for ant and tick control.

    Q
    Does Bifen IT require a surfactant?
    If I add a surfactant to Biden, will it lower the effectiveness of the chemical? I'm wanting this to linger in the trees and bushes at border of property. I have a rather large ditch/ community drainway right next to my property.

    Q
    Can I use Bifen IT in drains to kill roaches?
    A

    Bifen IT is not labeled for use in drains. Roaches can be seen coming out of drains because more than likely they were looking for a water source. For the best roach control, we recommend using a Roach Control Kit. Please view our How to Get Rid of Roaches article for other tips and information.

    Q
    How should Bifen IT be applied to houseplants to treat for fungus gnats?
    A

    Bifen IT is safe on house plants on the foliage.  For fungus gnats you would be using as a soil drench to treat.  The other option is to allow the soil to dry out completely as this will kill any larvae in the soil.

    Q
    Can I combine Bifen IT with other chemicals?
    I have ExciteR and Cyzmic and Pivot. Can I safely combine all 3 of these or any of them for terrible mosquitoes?
    A

    Yes, Bifen IT can be used with an IGR like Pivot and a synergist like Exciter for a faster knockdown of insects such as mosquitoes. There would be no valid reason to mix Cyzmic CS and Bifen IT. You would want to use one or the other.

  • Asked by Andrew from Dallas, Texas
    11/29/2019
    Q
    Is there another product with longer residual other than Bifen IT in the Texas heat?
    I've been using Bifen IT here in the Dallas summer heat and it's been doing ok. I spray on concrete, around our house and all of our flower / garden areas. We live next to a pond/lake and trying to control mostly spiders, mites, mosquitoes, silverfish, fire ants, crane fly.
    A

    Bifen IT is a great product for all the insects you have mentioned, but another good product to be used outdoors is Cyzmic CS. That is because Cyzmic CS has a CapVantage Micro Encapsulation which means that each droplet of insecticide is encased in a protective microscopic capsule, providing a long residual, even in direct sunlight or other harsh weather conditions. The only insect Cyzmic CS is not labeled for that you mentioned is crane flies. Most products are still only going to provide a 30 day residual outdoors in the summer. Be sure to check out our Pest Guides for more details about the most common structural pests.
