    Q
    Get rid of yellow jackets?
    A

    Bifen IT will kill yellow jackets but only if they land on a surface you have treated.  Have you tried looking outside in the morning or early afternoon?  This is when yellow jackets are most active and chances are you can see where they are going into your home which usually would be under some siding or through a small opening in brick or around a window.  If you can locate their entry point then it is an easy fix.  Early in the morning or late at night when the yellow jackets are not flying around and not active, you can apply Tempo Dust into the opening using a hand duster.  If you can locate the entry point, then this treatment will usually kill all of the yellow jackets within 24 hours.  Once there is no more activity, you want to be sure to close the opening with caulk or some other method so future yellow jackets do not try to use the same entry point. 
    Please review our How To Get Rid of Yellow Jackets article.

  • Asked by Debra from Landrum

    Q
    Is this the best product to kill rat mites or is permethrin 10% better
    We had rats die in the house now we have rat mites
    A
    The easiest method to control rodent mites that have entered your home is to physically remove them with a vacuum cleaner or wipe them up with a moist cloth. Mites are not automatically killed by a vacuum cleaner so freeze the bag to prevent the mites from crawling back out. Locating the source and eliminating the hosts and nests is important to prevent further problems with these mites. Nests are usually located in attics, basements, or inside walls. If necessary, trap them with kill traps or glue boards. Spray the dead rat and its nest with a disinfectant. Removing the mite source (dead mice, rats, and abandoned nests) is very important. Unless you remove their source, rat mites will continue to seek human host infesting your house.
     
    Onslaught is a great option that offers a long lasting residual. Please be sure to review the product label for more information and complete application instructions.

    Q
    Can I use Biden inside my house? And where or how, I.e., floor baseboards, etc. ?
    I have an infestation of small black bugs and not all but as far as I can tell they are flying. Mostly at night when I am in the bed. They are a nuisance and get in my hair. I use your product outside and it almost completely eradicates the mosquito and other unwanted bugs.
    A
    Bifen IT is labeled to be used indoors. Please make sure to refer to product label for instructions to prior use. Use 0.33 to 1 fluid oz. per gallon of water for residual pest control in buildings and structures and on modes of transport. Apply either as a crack and crevice, pinstream, spot, coarse, low pressure spray (25 psi or less).

    Q
    Can I use Bifen IT to treat my trees for little black bugs?
    I treated my trees approximately 10 days ago with Bifen to get rid of leaf miners. Yesterday I noticed that my trees are all turning brown and the leafs are falling. When I looked closer they are all covered with small black bugs. Do I need to treat them with something different or treat them again with Bifen? Will the leaves come back again this year?
    A

    We recommend getting the little black bug identified so that we can properly advise you on treatment options. You can contact your local cooperative extension office for insect identifications.

    Q
    Is it wise to use Bifen IT along with Actellic?
    A
    We are unfamiliar with Actellic. We recommend that you contact the manufacturer directly to seek advice on whether or not you should supplement their product with a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide such as Bifen IT.

    Q
    Can Bifin IT turn shrubs black after being sprayed?
    I have two crepe myrtle trees and shrubs.They were sprayed on Tuesday and two days later they appear to have a black coating on them. What happened to the tree and shrubs?
    A
    The ingredients in the Bifen IT are known to be very gentle on trees, shrubs and other vegetation. We have never had a report of Bifen IT causing any type of damage when it is used as directed on the product label. Did you spray the trees yourself or did a company come and spray them? Was anything else added to the spray solution? Were the trees healthy when they were sprayed?

  • Asked by Ken from Jamestown La.
    05/13/2012
    Q
    I want to use Bifen on peeled logs that i am using in a log home for termite protection?
    will this product stain my logs?
    A
    Bifen will not stain the logs as it is a waterbased insecticide. You should note that Bifen will not give your logs lasting protection against termites as it will not be able to penetrate in to the wood. At best a Bifen treatment will last for about 6 weeks. If you want lasting protection you need to use Bora-Care for your application. Bora-Care will penetrate several inches in to the wood and it will last for the life of the wood.
