    Will Bifen IT kill stink bugs inside my home and garden?

  • Asked by Carol from Tarpon Springs, Fl
    10/15/2016
    Q
    Can too much water be used in applying Bifen?
    I have a severe infestation of chinch bugs in my 1500 sf St. Augustine lawn. I sprayed at 1 oz per gallon and then handwatered in. I am concerned that I applied too much water...how do you know that the product is not being diluted too much? Also if I sprayed 3 days ago can I water in fertilizer now without making the Bifen less effective?
    A

    As long as Bifen IT was applied as directed on the label and watered in as required for chinch bugs (at least 0.25 inch of irrigation) after application, you can go ahead and water in the fertilizer.  It will not move much farther into the soil as it is designed to bind to the soil. If more water was used that would just have pushed it down into the soil better and will be fine.

    Q
    How long should I wait for dethatching after applying Bifen IT for chinch bugs?
    I plan to dethatch about 3 or 4 days after applying Bifen IT for Chinch Bugs. Will that make it less effective? I'm doing a 2nd application in about 2 weeks. Also, can it be watered into the lawn the day after or later? I used a hose end sprayer.
    A

    You should dethatch first and then treat with Bifen IT for increased effectiveness. You should water in the product after application to reach the areas they feed.

    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 Cullen from Zebulon, Nc
    05/18/2018
    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 silverfish?
    How often should it be applied?
    A

    Yes, Bifen IT is labeled for silverfish and will do a great job helping to eliminate them. Be sure to spray in all of the cracks and crevices where silverfish are known to harbor for best results. You will mix 1 oz per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft. and it can be applied every 30 days on the outside of the structure and every 90 days to the indoor cracks and crevices. Keep in mind that these pests frequent humid areas such as bathrooms and stored paper goods like files and wallpaper, so non-chemical steps to correct those conditions will help eliminate this pest.

    Will Bifen IT kill sugar ants?
    A

    Bifen I/T can be used to spray around the homes foundation and in the yard for most species of ants.
