    Q
    Does Bifen IT cause discoloration or fading on painted hardy plank siding?
    I have hardy plank siding with a dark gray paint. I'm noticing some light spots after spraying.
    A

    When treating exterior foundations, siding, around windows, doors, etc using Bifen IT at the advised labeled rate of 0.5 to 1 fl oz per gallon of water, there should be no staining, discoloration or visible residue. Make sure you are shaking the contents of the sprayer when mixing and during the application to ensure the insecticide is completely suspended throughout the water, especially as the mixed solution gets low. 
    Per the Bifen IT product label: Bifen I/T will not discolor or otherwise harm surfaces that water alone will not discolor or otherwise harm

    Q
    Is Bifen IT labeled for hoverflies (aka syrphid flies) in Missouri?
    A

    Bifen IT could possibly kill hoverflies if they contact a treated area long enough to receive a lethal dose.  Hoverflies are actually beneficial insects that feed on other insects that might attack plants. They also are pollinators that help your flowering plants. We apologize that we do not offer advice/products for killing beneficial insects.

    Q
    Can Bifen IT be safely applied to pet bedding? I know to keep pets away until the spray has dried.
    I'm finding ticks in and under the dog beds. I do wash and dry the covers, but would like to spray them with the Bifen IT.
    A

    Bifen IT cannot be applied to pet bedding and not recommended for active infestations of fleas/ticks indoors. Bifen IT can be used outdoors for fleas and ticks in lawns, bushes, trees, shrubs and landscape beds.

    The Indoor Flea & Tick Kit would be the best treatment for fleas and ticks indoors. The PT Alpine Flea Aerosol can be applied to pet bedding, carpets, rugs and other resting areas. Once dry, it is safe for pets to lay on the bedding.

    Q
    How to decontaminate skin and floors?
    My home was sprayed with Bifen IT 4 weeks ago. I walked barefoot in my home the day of the spraying, even though I gave it 4 hours to fully dry before re-entering, and a few other times over the past weeks, although I have mostly been trying to wear slippers. My feet burn and tingle and the sensation has been persistent. I have some slight nausea and headache as well. It seems that no amount of mopping with any kind of cleaning solution has made any difference in lifting the Bifen IT residue, and my feet seem to have a slightly waxy residue I can never wash out with any amount of soap and water. What can I do?
    A
    We would recommend contacting a medical professional about the product coming into contact with your skin. We are unable to give advice on this as we are not doctors and as stated on the product label in regards to if this product comes into contact with your skin, "- Take off contaminated clothing. - Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20 minutes. - Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice."
     
    As for the floors, soap and water should have been able to clean up the application from any left over residue. It is possible that the product was misused/overapplied which is causing issues. We would recommend contacting the manufacturer directly for further assistance at 866-897-8050.
