  • Asked by Kathrun from Shawnee, Ok
    08/17/2013
    Q
    Is Bifen IT bee-safe?
    Is Bifen IT toxic to honeybees? I am looking for effective control for mosquitos, fleas, and spiders (including brown recluse), but am concerned about increased risk to a dwindling bee population.
    A
    Bifen IT is not a selective insecticide and it will kill any insects that come into contact with treated areas. You can reduce the risk to your bees by keeping applications away from areas where the bees are actively foraging and at times when the bees are not active in general. You may also consider using Mavrik Perimeter insecticide for outdoor pests, which is non-repellent and non-toxic to honeybees after it is dried. You will want to read the product label to see if this fits your needs.

    Q
    Can I use Bifen for general pest control soon after Termidor has been used in a barrier treatment?
    I am wanting to use bifen to control spiders on the corners of my home and around the perimeter. I am also in the process of using termidor in a barrier treatment for termites. Is bifen ok to use right now or should I wait a period of time after the termidor treatment
    A
    Since the Bifen will be used topically for general pest control it should not interfere with a trenching treatment done using Termidor SC.

  • Asked by J.
    10/12/2013
    Q
    Once Bifen It is applied to the yard and baseboards, how long does it take to kill brown dog ticks?
    A
    How long it takes the ticks to die after they come into contact with a treated area will depend on a number of factors. It will depend on the maturity of the tick as well as how long they stayed on the treated area, how long it has been since the area was treated and the concentration that was used to treat the area. Typically it can take anywhere from a couple of hours to a day or so for them to die. It can take several weeks for you to stop seeing ticks indoors because the ticks like to stay hidden which also means they could be staying out of treated areas and eggs may hatch out prolonging the infestation. We recommend doing follow up treatments every two weeks at the highest usage rate of 1 oz of product per gallon of water until you do not see any ticks.

  • Asked by Todd from Grove City, Ohio
    11/17/2013
    Q
    How long will Bifen IT store after mixed ?
    A
    Bifen IT should be used up within 24 hours of diluting it with water. The longer an insecticide stands in a diluted state the less effective it becomes.  You should never store product in your sprayer as it will weaken the gaskets and other pieces within the sprayer shortening the life of the sprayer.

  • Asked by Ryan from Meridian Ms
    12/11/2013
    Q
    Does Bifen IT work on 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. Termidor SC is a great product to use to treat termites. Please see our Termite Control Page. Scroll to the bottom of the page and find information on identification and treatment for termites.

  • Asked by Kathy from Rocky Point
    02/07/2014
    Q
    Using Bifen as a barrier around house for termites
    Using the 4 gallon to 10 liner foot trench method, how long should it last in the soil as a barrier? I already have a full container of Bifen I/T or I would use something else, will this work?
    A
    Bifenthrin products used to be considered a good form of termite treatment, but bifenthrin acts as a repellent and now a days almost all professional termite companies are using non-repellents, such as Termidor SC or Dominion 2L.  Termidor will last 10+ years in the soill and Dominion will last 5-7 years.  We have a great article called How To Do A Termite Treatment that explains how to perform a treatment using a non-repellent termiticide.

    Q

  • Asked by Jeff from Manteca, Ca
    03/06/2014
    Q
    Should I continue using Bifen I/T or switch to another general purpose insecticide?
    I am currently using Bifen I/T for my exterior home spraying every 3 months. The bottle is nearly empty and I need to purchase more. Would it be best to continue with this product or switch to another product? I remember reading that insects can build up an immunity so it is good to change from time to time. I have had very good luck with Bifen I/T in getting rid of my ants and spiders. If you do recommend changing, then what do you recommend? Thanks!
    A
    It normally takes many years for insects to build a resistancy to insecticides. If you are still experiencing good results from Bifen I/T then I would recommend continuing with Bifen I/T. The price and effectiveness cannot be matched.
