  • Asked by Cullen from Zebulon, Nc

    Q
    If my dog eats grass that Bifen IT is sprayed and dryer on will it harm her?
    A

    Bifen IT should be applied and dried prior to the entry of the dogs. Once dry, it is safe for their return. It will not reactivate when wet again.Your dog would have to eat a lot of grass most likely to get sick, and he/she would probably get much more sick from the grass then the product.  However, of course we recommend anything you can do to minimize your dog from eating the grass.

    Q
    Will Bifen IT kill slugs?
    Slugs on the decks, crawling up the sliding glass doors. Nasty. Thanks for your help.
    A

    Bifen IT is not labeled to control slugs. Slugs put down a continuous layer of mucus which makes it impossible for dried deposits of insecticide sprays to reach the actual slug. You will need to use a slug bait such as Sluggo Plus or Hi-Yield Improved Slug and Snail Bait to control the slugs.

  • Asked by Julius
    07/18/2010
    Q
    Why is Bifen IT so much cheaper than Cy-kick CS? Aren't they both the same thing?
    Which one is best for outdoors?
    A
    No, they are not the same. Bifen It is a generic form of Talstar P and contains the active ingredient bifenthrin. Bifen IT is great for indoor/outdoor general pest control and is very safe to use around pets and people, non irritating to the skin, will not stain, is odorless, and stands up well to rainfall. Talstar P is the product of choice for mosquito control too.  Cy-Kick CS is a micro encapsulated product that contains Cyfluthrin. Cy Kick-CS is known to be super effective for those hard to kill insects such as spiders and scorpions and it will last a bit longer outdoors.

    Q
    Can Gentrol IGR and Bifen IT be mixed together?
    A
    Absolutely.  Gentrol IGR can be mixed with any insecticide concentrate and be applied at the same time, including Bifen IT.  However, when mixed with an insecticide concentrate like Bifen IT you are limited on where you can apply the Gentrol IGR since you can only spray in areas where the Bifen IT is permitted to be applied according the label instructions.

  • Asked by Joseph from Sandown Nh
    05/29/2012
    Q
    Should I spray Bifen IT into standing water to get rid of mosquito larvae?
    can I put this is standing water and will it dilute and kill mosquito larva? Or can I spray over still water and will it still be effective? or what do you recommend for still water? thanks
    A
    You should not spray Bifen IT into standing water. You should use BTI Mosquito Briquette Dunks to treat standing water. BTI Mosquito Briquettes are a sustained-release larvicide that conveniently floats right on the water surface. These briquettes can be used in virtually any standing water site where mosquito larvae grow. As the briquettes float, BTI (or bacillus thuringiensis israelensis, a natural mosquito-killing biocontrol agent) is slowly released at the water’s surface and gradually settles in the water where it is consumed by mosquito larvae. Bti kills mosquito larvae before they are able to grow into mature, biting adults, eventually controlling the mosquito population. Additionally, the toxin will continue to be released into the water for a period of 30 days or more, providing continuous kill. Each briquette will effectively treat up to 100 square feet of surface water regardless of depth. Bifen can be used to help control adult mosquitoes on your property. Be sure to spray the undersides of leaves on trees as bushes as this is where mosquitoes like to hang out during the heat of the day.

    Q
    How much to use Bifen IT on the lawn for cranefly larvae?
    I am using a a garden hose sprayer and I am wondering how much to use of Bifen IT to use on my yard for cranefly larvae?
    A
    In most cases it is not necessary to use an insecticide for crane fly larvae control. If damage is severe we would recommend using 1 fl oz of Bifen IT per gallon of water to cover each 1,000 sq ft for the initial treatment and then .5 fl oz per gallon of water for follow up treatments.

  • 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
    How can you prevent mosquitoes using Bifen IT
    We are living closer to golf/lake areas. More and more mosquitoes have been found around the house and some some come inside the house. Any most effective treatment should be done and how? Does Bifen kill or prevent acorpion too?
    A

    Bifen IT is a great product labeled for over 75 types of insects, including scorpions and  especially mosquitoes. Mix 1oz Bifen IT per 1 gallon of water and apply as a perimeter treatment or broadcast treatment over the entire property. When treating for mosquitoes, it is important to focus on the undersides of leaves, bushes, trees, shrubs, decking, eaves, etc as this is where mosquitoes will hide during the day. Pay attention to damp areas and possible consider using BTI Mosquito Dunks in areas where you have standing water.

    Bifen IT used inside the home as a crack and crevice treatment will last 90 days and 30 days outside the home as a perimeter or broadcast treatment.

    Q
    Can I spray plants during temps of 90 degrees f or more in the summer with Bifen IT ?
    I have spider mites in my dessert rose . Can I spray w/ Bifen in the summer / w/ temp 90 degrees ?
    A

    You can spray plants with Bifen IT on days with high temps but you should refrain from spraying during the heat of the day. Instead, restrict applications to very early morning or late evening. This will prevent the sun rays from scorching the plants while they are still wet.
