    Q
    Does Bifen IT kill Carpenter Bees?
    I have a log home and use Bifen IT for everything else and love it. However when looking at your label I don't see Carpenter Bees listed. I see bees listed and I'm assuming that it includes Carpenter Bees. Thanks in advance.
    A

    Yes, Bifen IT will help control carpenter bees when it is applied to surfaces where the carpenter bees land.  We also recommend dusting the carpenter bee holes with an insecticide dust such as Tempo Dust to help kill any larva inside. Do not plug the holes for at least 30 days after dusting to p…

    Can Bifen it kill sod web worms and the moths that lay the eggs? Will it kill grubs?

    Bifen IT is labeled for sod webworms and can kill moths that contact a treated area.  It will not work for grubs.  Triple Crown would be a good all round option for lawn infesting insects.

    Q
    Is Bifen safe for birds nesting in the infected tree?
    I need to get rid of spittlebugs before they destoy the cypress tree, but I know there sre birds nesting inside. And birds often alite on the tree. Is this safe for birds? If not, can you recommend a product that is safe?
    A

    Bifen IT is safe to apply if the birds are not in the area during application until the surfaces have completely dried. It should also not be applied directly on them or the nest. Once applied and dried it is safe for birds, squirrels, rabbits, pets, and family members to be in the area.

    Q
    How long does it take Bifen I/T to work on mosquitoes?
    I sprayed bifen I/T all over my lawn, bushes, and trees during the heat of the day as recommended for mosquitoes. However, after sunset mosquitoes were all out again feasting on my family. did I use the right product to kill mosquitoes.
    A

    Bifen IT is to give off a residual to last up to 30 days outdoors for the insects that come into contact with the residual left behind. With mosquitoes this will take some time to see any results because they are flying insects. It can take time to see any result after application.

    Q
    Will Bifen IT work against springtails and kill even after it dries?
    I had a bad infestation of springtails last year and nothing I tried seemed to work. A few sprays would kill if the springtails were sprayed directly, but nothing had any residual killing affect. Will Bifen IT work against springtails and kill even after it dries?
    A

    Bifen IT would be a good choice and it does leave an active residual. You may need to reapply every month through the season. Springtails can be tough to get rid of because of their large populations in infested areas and the often covered areas where they harbor. Springtails are usually a sign that…

    Q
    Tip reads: “Remember that Bifen IT is non selective and will kill the good guys…”
    …so avoid spraying flowers. I was under the impression that these insecticides have a residual effect & that's why you only need to apply a few times a year to kill. If that's the case, how does it NOT kill the beneficials that happen to land on leaves, grass to rest? We have swampy wooded acreage w/ mosquitoes but we also have dragonflies, butterflies, & bees. When we broke down & used a company (cyfluthrin/ bifenthrin) after trying TONS of organic options, I noticed that I didn't have any more of my beneficials. We are organic but didn't know there was swampland when we looked at the house w/ snow on the ground last year. I didn't even plant any more flowers for fear I'd 'entice them to their doom'.
    A

    Bifen IT is not labeled for beneficial insects, but it has the potential to kill them if they come in contact with the treated area.

  • Asked by Angela from Prattville, Al

    Q
    When should I re-apply Bifen IT?
    Just put down some Bifen IT ( favorite product) on our lawn due to some horrible army worm issues going around alabama. We started to notice them dying instantly. How often should I be reapplying to the yard to keep them from coming back. Also, thoughts on the Bifen Granuals and the Bifen IT used together?
    A

    Bifen IT can be re-applied every 30 days. It is not recommended to use Bifen IT and Bifen Granules together in the same place. It would only be doubling up the amount of product in the area and that will cause the insects to become immune more quickly.

    Q
    How fast does Bifen IT kill armyworms?
    I sprayed and 3 days later and I still see a lot of armyworms when using soap water flush. It does seem like some come up and stop moving and die. However, so far it isn't very effective.
    A

    Bifen IT is not a contact kill product, it is a residual product that can take a few days to start killing the insects that you are treating for.  After you apply it to your lawn, it is important to avoid mowing and watering for at least three days. This gives the product time to do what its desig…
