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

    Bifen IT would not prevent spiders from forming webs but would help to kill spiders or other insects that contact a treated surface long enough to receive a lethal dose.  To prevent spider webs it would be better to use a product like Web Out.

    Q
    Product good for treating termites?
    A
    Bifen IT will kill termites that come in contact with the chemical. To eradicate termites you want to use a product that has a transfer effect.

  • Asked by Chris from St. Louis Mo
    06/24/2023
    Q
    Would Onslaught or Oneguard be better at mosquito control?
    A

    Both products are great, however, if you want to use an "all in one" product, OneGuard will be the better option as this product is a multi-mode of action concentrate that provides long-lasting control of mosquitoes and other flying and crawling insect pests. It contains a powerful combination of knockdown agent, killing agent, synergist, and NyGuard Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) in a single product. It features controlled-release technology to ensure effective knockdown, kill, and control of insects. It has a dual mode of action to help increase efficiency, plus it reduces mosquito populations by preventing them from reproducing. It is designed to kill mosquitoes such as Aedes, Anopheles and Culex that may transmit West Nile virus, Zika virus and Chikungunya virus. Please be sure to review the product label for more information and complete application instructions. Also, please take a moment to review our Mosquito Control Guide here.

    Q
    Horseflies
    Will Bifen work on horseflies and blackflies? Do you apply the same way?
    A

    Bifen IT is labeled for flies and can be applied at 1 oz. per gallon of water per 1,000 sq. ft. as directed.  However, because flies in general can be more challenging to control with spraying alone, we suggest you refer to our helpful Fly Treatment & Control Guide for treatment recommendations and for links to related products.

    Q
    Wasps
    A

    Bifen IT is labeled to treat for wasps, but it is not an instant knockdown. Bifen IT will kill wasps that come in contact with it. Retreat after 21 days if signs of renewed activity exist. You may want to consider our Wasp and Hornet Kit which contains the residual insecticide Cyzmic CS, plus Wasp-X to kill insects very quickly when you locate nests.

    Q
    Does Bifen on plants taste bad to deer or rabbits
    As a side benefit to spraying Bifen for yard pests such as ticks, etc. Does Bifen which has been sprayed on plants make them distasteful to deer and/or rabbits?
    A

    We are not aware of a bad taste left behind after an application of Bifen IT, however, although minute amounts of the residual are not harmful, we do not recommend applying this product in areas where animals tend to forage. Instead, you could use a more natural product such as EcoVia EC.

    Q
    Safety PPE applying Bifen IT
    What is the proper mask or respirator that should be worn when applying with a backpack blower outdoors ?
    A

    You should not need a full respirator mask when using Bifen IT in a mist blower, but we would recommend at least wearing long sleeves, long pants, socks and shoes, and a nose and mouse mask for extra safety. Our KN95 masks would be fine for this application. Of course, anytime you are applying product vertically, be sure to wear adequate eye protection as well.

  • Asked by David from Fleming Island Florida 32003
    07/12/2023
    Q
    Will Bifen IT kill sod webworms and the moths that are flying up out of the yard?
    A

    The key to sod webworm control is focusing on the larvae, therefore while Bifen IT is a great product the best time for applications is to control the young larvae, if possible.
    The larvae feed mostly at night. Therefore, controlling sod webworms with chemicals successfully means spraying in the late afternoon to ensure ingestion of the poison.
    For the moth stage, spraying Bifen IT on the lawn, plants, trees, bushes, shrubs, etc, and focusing on the underside of the leaves will help with the moth control. For some more useful information please read our sod-webworm treatment guide here. Please let us know if you have any questions or need anything else. We appreciate your business.
