    Q
    I used Diazinon for years. Do you have an equivalent product?
    I sprayed for ticks, mosquitoes, and general yard insects. It was very effective. I have tried several products since and nothing works as well. Your suggestions?
    A

    Yes, we do have products that are comparable to Diazinon since it has been outlawed due to safety regulations. We would recommend Bifen IT. It is great for indoor and outdoor use. Indoors, you will spray along the baseboards and cracks and crevices. It lasts for 90 days. Outdoors, you can broadcast across your lawn, spray along the perimeter of your home, on flowers and also ornamentals. This lasts for 30 days outside. This product is not labeled to be sprayed on edibles. It is labeled for ticks, mosquitoes and various other pests as well.

     

    If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

    Q
    Will Bifen IT kill bumble bees nesting under my deck? I can not see the nest, and I will have to broadcast.
    A
    Yes. If the bumble bees come into contact with the Bifen IT, they will be killed. It is important to make sure you are spray areas that they will actually land on. We also recommend either treating very early in the morning or late in the evening when the bees are less active.

    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.

  • Asked by Nancy from Waltham, Ma

    Q
    What works on cluster flies that come into my log cabin and hover around the sunny windows every autumn?
    My log home is in Andover ME
    A

    Bifen IT can be used to help control cluster flies indoors and outdoors. If the cluster flies have already made their way indoors, they will be harder to control because they usually hide in a wall void or other inaccessible area and are only visible when the house warms up. If the cluster flies are in an attic or drop ceiling or other dark area, a fly light would do a great job controlling the population. Using small fly lights such as the Fly Web in the house would also help to catch the flies. Spray Bifen IT directly on baseboards, window frames, door frames, and places where utilities (pipes, wires, cables) enter in to the building and any other crack, crevice or gap where insects can enter.

    Here is an article that will give you a little bit more information on cluster flies and cluster fly control methods: How to get rid of cluster flies

    Q
    Bifen IT was used near raspberry bushes, what to do?
    My wife sprayed the lawn and around the house with Bifen I/T at a rate of 1 oz/ gallon. While spraying she became concerned that she may have gotten some on our raspberry bushes and within 10-15 minutes of spraying she thoroughly sprayed them with clear well water. Should we be concerned about eating the raspberries as they are ready to be harvested?
    A
    It is typically recommended to dispose of anything edible that could have been sprayed during a treatment with Bifen IT.

  • Asked by Lynda from Central, Fl
    09/04/2016
    Q
    How do I mix Bifen IT in a one gallon sprayer for sod webworms?
    A

    When using Bifen IT to treat for soil dwelling pests such as sob webworms, the rate is not per gallon of water but per 1000 sq ft as you would use sufficient water to cover the target area and get the product to the pest.  Per the product label: To accomplish uniform control when applying to dense grass foliage, use volumes of up to 10 gallons per 1000 square feet.  You would use 0.18 - 0.25 fluid oz. per 1000 sq. ft for sod webworms.  Higher treatment rates (up to 1 fluid oz. per 1000 square feet) may be necessary if high pest pressure exists and if the grass is maintained taller than 1 inch.

    In general 1 gallon can cover 1000 sqft but for sod webworms the amount of water needed could be higher depending on the grass foliage, equipment used, how fast you walk, etc.
