    Q
    Will Bifen IT kill flies?
    We live next to a farm and our outside porch and siding gets infested twice a year with flies. We need an effective low/no odor and non-staining solution & hope this will be it!
    A

    Yes, Bifen It would be a great choice to treat flies. It dries clear and is odorless. You can apply the mixed solution to lawns, trees, shrubs, indoors. It has a long lasting residual. You may want to retreat during the fly season once every 30 days. Otherwise Bifen has a 3 month residual.

    Q
    using bifen it liquid
    i'm using a garden hose going through a dial and spray that dilutes insect killers and need to know if I can use this kind of sprayer for bifen IT. What ozs. do I use for treating springtails through this dial and sprayer. I purchased the gallon size of bifen IT liquid.
    A

    You can use between .5 and 1 ounce per gallon of water. Depending on how your hose end sprayer is set up, you would need to select one of those two rates on the dial to properly dilute it. Either rate is acceptable for the treatment of springtails.

    Q
    Mosquitoes are still terrible right now after using Bifen IT?
    Why would someone still have a lot of mosquitoes even though multiple acres were treated and the proper application techniques and chemical ratio was used

Larvicides- Mosquito larvae will breed wherever suitable water is available, including bird baths, old automobile tires, rain barrels, ponds, abandoned or unused swimming pools (particularly above ground types…

    Q
    Scorpion Control in Lawn
    I use Cy Kick CS around my home but my yard is rather large and Cy Kick CS can get pricey. I'm looking to save a few dollars and spray another type of liquid pesticide. I was thinking Bifen IT but wasnt sure of it's effectiveness and residual for controlling Scorpions in my lawn. Granuals wont work since we have watering restrictions in South Texas. Any advice?
    A

    The Cy Kick CS you have been using is a great product for Scorpions but we do understand the need for more cost effective options. You want to go with a product that will sit on top of the surface better than the Bifen IT. If you dont have any dark surfaces to treat, you could use a product like Cyp…

    Will Bifen IT be both effective and long lasting if sprayed on wood decks, concrete, brick, asphalt, and vinyl siding?
    A

    Bifen IT is a great residual product, but just like any other insecticide, its not going to hold up long term to the environment. Most will give an outdoor residual of at least 30 days, and depending on how much UV rays break it down and rain you get, will determine whether it will last closer to 60…

    Q
    Pre-treating soil with Bifen prior to installing sod.
    I will be installing St. Augustine sod in an area that has moles. Would it be ok to pre-treat the soil with bifen before installing the sod? My hope is to discourage grubs that will attract moles.
    A

    You can absolutely spray the soil with Bifen IT prior to placing down your soil. It will help minimize activity but you will most likely still want to spray over the sod periodically to keep the rest of the population on top of the new sod down.

    Q
    How much to buy for an acre?
    Our house is on an acre. We are mostly fighting fire ants, flies (on flowering shrubs), spider mites, and wasps. We also have a pool which attracts flying red ants and I assume we will soon see mosquitos. Help!! Is Biden the solution for us? I have already spent too much money on professional fire ant control with little success. What is the best way to apply? Can I apply to full lawn and shrubs? Hose sprayer? Any help appreciated.
    A

    The Bifen would definitely be a great option for most of the pest you are having a problem with. You can use the Bifen in a hand pump sprayer or with a hose end, although you will get more uniform and accurate coverage with a hand pump than you will a hose. You would typically mix 1 ounce to a gallo…
