  • Asked by Dorothy from Pinola, Ms 39149
    09/11/2014
    Q
    How do you kill outdoor ants, common ants and fire ants using Bifen IT?
    A

    Bifen IT is an excellent insecticide and is labeled for ants, including fire ants.

     

    The best control will be achieved by using broadcast treatments in combination with mound drenches. This will control present colonies along with foraging workers and newly mated fly-in queens. It is critical either to use high volume treatments or to irrigate prior to application if the soil is dry. Apply 1 fl. oz. per 1,000 square feet when using broadcast treatments. For mound drenches, dilute 1 teaspoon of Bifen I/T per gallon
    of water and use 1 to 2 gallons of finished dilution using sufficient force to penetrate the top and allow dilution to flood ant channels. Treat a four-foot diameter around each ant mound. Application should be made in late evening or early morning when it is cooler (65-80° when insects are most active. NOTE: A spray rig calibrated to apply 1 fluid oz. per 1,000 square feet of Bifen I/T in 5 gallons per 1,000 square feet contains the equivalent
    dilution (1 teaspoon per gallon) required for fire ant mound drenches in the spray tank.
    For other ants, we would recommend a perimeter treatment around your home. You will use 1 fl. oz. per gallon of water.
    Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

    04/01/2016
    Q
    When should I spray Bifen for pine beetles?
    Apr, May? It has been a dry winter/spring here near Albuquerque. Do I spray earlier because the bugs fly sooner? What is best part of month and/or moisture amounts to spray?
    A

    You should contact your local cooperative extension office to find out the best time to start spraying a product like Bifen IT in your region.  They are more familiar with the timing of insect activity in your area.  We can say that it should be applied monthly through the beetles active months.

    Q
    Can I use Bifen IT for mosquitos near edible vegetation?
    I am looking for an insecticide that takes care of mosquitos and gnats and can be sprayed on or near vegetables. Is there a product that can do this? I read that Bifen IT is not permitted for use on vegetation. Many thanks for the help in advance.
    A

    We would recommend using Hi Yield Indoor/Outdoor Permethrin 10% Insecticide. It is safe for use on edibles and is labeled for mosquitoes. The mixing ratio is 1-3 oz. per 4 gallons of water. This will treat approximately 4000 square feet. This can also be used in your lawn for mosquitoes as well.

    Yes, you can mix an insecticide like BIfen IT and a fungicide like Honor Guard PPZ together in the same tank as long as niether product label prohibits such mixtures. Be sure always to follow the more restrictive product label and to plan your dilution rates correctly for each product in the volume of water you are using.
