    Q
    I NEED SOMETHING TO KILL ALL KINDS OF INSECTS IN MY BACK YARD;ALSO FRUIT TREES
    BUT IT MUST BE ANIMAL SAFE BECAUSE I HAVE TWO SMALL DOGS THAT CHEW ON THE GRASS.
    A

    A good product to broadcast across your lawn is called Bifen I/T. It treats for various types of pests and can be used both inside along the baseboards, cracks and crevices and outside as well as a broadcast across the lawn. It is safe for pets when it is dry so remove the dogs from the area while spraying. This product is not labeled for fruit trees.

     

    For fruit trees, I would recommend Monterey Fruit Tree Spray Plus. It is broadly labeled product that can be used on edibles.

    Q
    What is recommended for White Pine Weevil?
    A
    Bifen IT is labeled for "weevils" in general and the active ingredient Bifenthrin is known to be effective for white pine weevils. It is important when using a foliar application that treatments start when adult weevils first start to appear in spring, usually around mid-April. At this time, Bifenthrin seems to be the only active ingredient available to homeowners for white pine weevil control. We also suggest you contact your local cooperative extension office for more tips on the best treatment time in your specific area

    We do not recommend applying Bifen IT close to a creek due to the possiblity of runoff. We do carry an insecticide called EcoVia EC that can be applied close to water without harm to aquatic organisms.

    Q
    What to use to get rid of chinch bugs in lawn

    Bifen IT is one of our most popular products for Chinch Bug Control. The key is to use lots of water to carry the Bifen IT down to the thatch layer underneath the grass, where the chinch bugs do the most damage.  Please read the product label for proper application instructions.

    Spray cat posts
    A

    Bifen IT is NOT labeled to be used on any kind of pet bedding or play toys. Bifen IT is safe for people and pets to be around after the treated area has dried. You would want to keep the pets out of the treated area for at least an hour. We recommend Sterifab, an insecticide that kills insects on contact and is safe for pets once it dries

    Q
    What is best product for rhodendron root weevils?
    I need something for both adults and larvae.
    A

    Bifen I/T is labeled to kill weevils of several different forms and has shown to be successful through the studies of many universities on rhododendren. You would need to spray the entire plant down to try and not only kill the weevils but also to hopefully repel them from coming in the first place. Good plant health is a key factor in eliminating and preventing weevils of all kinds.  Bifen should work to kill some currently and the most in the spring. Just use heavy water volumes to push it through the soil and retreat as necessary for new activity. If for any reason you dont see the full control with the bifenthrin you can always try something like Acephate 97 as a systemic and use the Talstar as a foliar spray and as a general insecticide spray around your home to help keep down any other unwanted pests.

    Can I use Bifen IT on the rafters of my pool enclosure to prevent spider webs from forming?
