    Q
    Can Bifen IT, Suspend SC and Tempo SC all be used together to control mosquitoes?
    I've read that mixing them doesn't increase its effectiveness but mosquito control company's in my area use all the chemicals. So if they're not mixing them are they just using them at different times?

This could cause the products to not work as labeled and potentially would be dangerous as you would be overapplying unnecessary products into the environment. Please be sure to review the…

    Q
    What is the recommended rotation insecticide with Bifen IT for mosquitoes?
    I've read mosquitos can build a tolerance to Bifen IT if used too often so to alternate a different chemical in. What's the best alternate product to use every third time I spray that doesn't use the same active ingredient?
    A

    While yes, insects can develop a resistance to the same active ingredients with the same modes of action, this usually takes years of exposure to that same chemical to develop a resistance.

    Q
    Rotating insecticide
    I'm currently using Bifen to control insects. Was wondering what other insecticide I can rotate with so insects don't grow an immunity to it. I'm looking for something that will control most insects and have a long residual life so I don't have to keep on applying it.
    A

    Cyzmic CS would be a great option to rotate with. Please be sure to review the product label for more information and complete application instructions. This product is microencapsulated and can have a 2-3 month residual when applied appropriately.

Mites are not automatically killed by a vacuum cleaner…

    Q
    Does mosquitos build resistance over time to bifen it

    Usually insecticide resistance is not an issue with mosquitoes since there will be new populations each year. However, if you have been using the same insecticide for many years, then rotation is a good idea for general pest control.
