    Q
    For my bushes and trees, can Bifen IT and Copper fungicide be mixed together in the sprayer?
    A

    Yes, you can mix an insecticide like BIfen IT and a fungicide together in the same tank as long as niether product label prohibits such mixtures. Be sure always to follow the more restrictive product label and to plan your dilution rates correctly for each product in the volume of water you are using. We suggest a small jar test before mixing a large amount of products together for the first time.

    Q
    Can I blow Bifen I/T with a backpack blower if foliage is still wet?
    A

    No, the foliage needs to be dry so the Bifen IT can stick to the foliage. You should plan on doing the application when there is no rain the forecast 24 hours before the applications and for 24 hours after the application.

    Q
    I sprayed my yard twice this week with Bifen IT but I'm STILL getting a lot of mosquitos, What should I do?
    I sprayed in bushes and the underside of things but I'm still getting mosquitos and other flying insects in my backyard that are annoying when I'm trying to sit around the propane firepit at night
    A

    Bifen IT should only be applied once every 7 days if you are using the lowest rate.  It will not repel insects away or keep them from the area as it is not a true repellent.  It is meant to provide a long residual to continue to kill those that contact a treated area for up to 30 days on outside surfaces.  If you want a repellent product Mosquito Barrier is an option and can repel for 24 hours up to 30 days.

  • Asked by Lynn
    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.

  • 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.

  • Asked by Miguel from Mobile
    03/30/2020
    Q
    How do you apply for mole crickets?
    A
    When applying Bifen IT for mole crickets you should use 1oz per gallon of water. Per the product label:

    Mole Cricket adults: Since the preferred grass areas are subject to constant invasion in early spring by the active adult stage, it can be difficult to maintain control of adult mole crickets. It is ideal to treat the areas as late in the day as possible and water immediately after application with up to 0.5 inches of water. To ensure maximum contact when soil is dry, it is necessary to irrigate prior to treatment to bring the adult mole crickets closer to the soil surface. To obtain optimal control of potential nymphal populations, the grass areas preferred by adult mole crickets should be treated immediately prior to the peak hatch stage. 

    Mole Cricket nymphs: Treat grass areas that are preferred by adult mole crickets in the spring just before peak egg hatch. Young nymphs are more vulnerable to insecticidal treatment at this stage because they are close to the soil surface where the insecticide is most concentrated and thereby providing the most efficient control. For larger more damaging nymphal stages later in the year, it may be necessary to use higher application rates more frequently. It is ideal to treat the areas as late in the day as possible and water immediately after application with up to 0.5 inches of water. To ensure maximum contact when soil is dry, it is necessary to irrigate prior to treatment to bring the adult mole crickets closer to the soil surface.

    Q
    How much Bifenthrin 7.9 ( how many ounces/gal) should I use to spray spotted lanternflies in a hose end sprayer and also in a one gallon sprayer?
    A

    Spotted Lantern Fly is an invasive pest mostly found in certain areas of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York right now. Penn State Extension has set up an entire website to help track and control this pest. Please visit this site for information on how to report this pest and non-chemical steps recommended:
    https://www.agriculture.pa.gov/Plants_Land_Water/PlantIndustry/Entomology/spotted_lanternfly/Pages/default.aspx
    Here is a guide regarding management of SLF for homeowners:https://extension.psu.edu/spotted-lanternfly-management-for-residents 

    Some folks are treating trees with dinotefuran, although since these products are not yet labeled for this pest, we cannot be certain as to the efficacy.
    https://www.domyown.com/safari-20sg-systemic-insecticide-with-dinotefuran-p-2512.html

     

    Talstar P

    can be used as trunk and foliar spray where you have found activity, and the manufacturer has a Supplemental Label you can review on how to use it for that pest. You would use 0.25-0.5 oz per 1000 sq/ft per gallon.

    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.
