    Q
    Is Bifen IT good indoors against Silverfish if it is a repellent?
    I see in the description it says Bifen IT is a repellent insecticide. I thought it was best to use a non-repellent for silverfish indoors, since I want the silverfish to run through the residual poison left behind after product dries. Will the silverfish just run away from the areas I treated with Bifen to another part of my house?
    A

    Although Bifen IT is considered a repellent insecticide, it is not a true repellent in that it “repels” insects away. Insects will still be able to contact the treated surfaces and eventually die from through contact of the active ingredient. Bifen IT is included in our Silverfish Kit that you c…

    Q
    Is there any benefit to mixing Bifen IT with Dominion for general perimeter pest control?
    I usually spray Bifen around the perimeter of my house for general pest control. I'm wondering if adding Dominion would be helpful since I've been solely using Bifen for the last 5yrs or so without any rotation.
    A

    A better option than mixing Dominion 2L or another product with Bifen IT would be switching to a different product. Alpine WSG would be a great product to rotate with Bifen IT since it is a different class of active ingredient. Another great option is Temprid FX, which has imidacloprid (which is in …
