Customer Reviews for Bifen IT

Bifen IT is the only insecticide I have found that will effectivily control fireants. Bifen mixed 3/4 0z to 1 gallon of water will kill an entire fireant mound in as little as 2 hrs. I spay 12-18 inches around the ant nest and then, wet the nest with the mixed liquid spray. I have read that once a nest is established, and young ants hatch they can fly long distances in search of new area to start a nest. Controlling fireants is a never ending job.

after watching numerous videos on you tube for fireants...this is the one you want.i mix 2 oz. per gallon of water and hit each ant hill for 10-15 bseconds full blast in the top to make a crater. went back next day and what a funeral.nothing was alive and I mean there were thousands of them coming out of the big mounds.i put a ring around each mound before letting it go on the mound itself.ants would not cross the ring and everything inside was killed. I gallon will last a long time but I plan on keeping it around just in case they want some revenge on me..lol.

A landscaper I know recommended Bifen to get rid of Army Worms. I didn't notice any in my lawn but my neighbors had them. My landscaper friend said he sprays his whole house to control Spiders, Ants, Wasps, and mosquitoes, so I did the same thing. No more pesky insects and we can sit outside again. I put 2 ounces in a 2 gallon hand sprayer. Can't use an Ortho hose-end sprayer, the Bifen is too thick. The 3/4 gallon bottle is going to last me a long time, but when I use it all up I will definitely order more. I'm

I spent $80/month last summer on a pest control company to spray my dock over a lake for spiders. It may have helped a little, but there were always webs everywhere and spider poop all over my white boat. After some research, I read other successful reviews of Bifen IT and decided to give it a try. After the first spray, I came out the next day to find 50+ dead spiders all over the dock! It's been a few months and all the webs are still gone and the boat it pure white with no more annoying black dots. This stuff is amazing!!! Should have gotten it a long time ago.

We had a bit of a Clover Mite infestation along the back wall of our yard. I had tried one of the insecticide concentrates you can buy at Lowe's, and they did nothing. Bifen killed them all and doesn't cost nearly as much as Tempo or some of the other products known for killing Clover Mites. Since it is a general insecticide, I found all kind of dead bugs back there so it must work well on everything.

Bought this and followed all instructions, even used it along with solvent to help adhere better. It deterred midges for like a day and they all came back. Some died but most of them just danced on where the Bifren IT was sprayed on. It didn't kill anything but like 10 percent. I wish I didn't spend the money for it. I also reapplied in the same areas and invested in a hand pump spray... Sooo sad

Biden IT works like no other pest control. Good friends recommended it to us. We started using it for scorpion control. Worked immediately! A big plus is that once it dries, it's safe for pets to be around. I use a small brush to "paint" it along all indoor moldings to keep pesky ants out. I could never be without Bifen IT. Great great product!

I've had excellent results with Bifen IT. Do My Own service is extremely fast. I received my most recent purchase within 2 days. Bifen works well along my foundation for carpenter ants and millipedes. I live in the middle of 16 acres of woods with ants/insects everywhere. I like the fact that Bifen can be used indoors if necessary. So far exterior use has done the job. I will buy it again.

This stuff works insanely good. I have a log home and I have wood bees constantly. I sprayed the deck, porch rafters and front/back of the gutters. Within a 2 days I now see no wood bees. Also I sprayed the new mulch and have not saw any bugs!

I have been battling with ants for months now. I will spray and they will go away temporarily. This was my last resort before calling a professional company an dspending a lot of money. I have seen a few roaches as well and the same with them. I used your product approximately 1 week ago. I sprayed outside and inside my home. I haven't seen any ants and all the roaches have been dead. It even killed them on the outside the perimeter of our house. I haven't seen any roaches at all for 2 days now. I gave this product to my mother for her to use. I would definitely recommend this product and I will continue to be a customer as long as there are bugs!! Forever!

I have used Bifen in both versions. The liquid spray concentrate and the granules. I used the granules for exterior lawn insect control and like most it really does not last the whole season. In NC where the warm months are longer the product will probably keep the bugs at bay for about two months and then you will need to apply again. I used the bifen liquid spray concentrate on the perimeter of my house and on the interiors as well due to "small millepedes" coming into my house. After less than week I did not notice any more millepedes, so I would conclude that it was quite effective for that purpose. I think it is a versatile product and that the liquid spray would go a long way for both interior and exterior bug control.

I purchased Bifen to control the small number of common household pests found mainly in my finished basement. This is my first time using the product, so I applied a barrier outside the home, around window frames, and spot treated areas of concern in the house according to the "how to" video on this website. In the past two weeks, the crawling bugs I have seen were dead. Small flying bugs that used squeeze through windows and sliding glass doors have disappeared or died trying to get in. I recommend buying and shopping around for a good 2 gal spray tank. The mix ratio of this product in 1oz per gallon of water, so the 3/4 gallon goes a long way for the price.

A great chemical for killing just about any kind of insect that will want to find its way into your crawlspace/house etc. I treat the flower beds, foundational walls and nooks and crannies in various outbuildings. Long lasting and totally effective. I also sprayed nearly 6 acres of open grasslands and mildly dense forest for control of a heavy chigger population. By this time last year I had been viciously eaten up by those nasty chiggers. I sprayed this year April 1st and have yet to be chewed on by those fellers! A good sprayer is very helpful in dispersing this solution without wasting it. I will treat the foundational walls and crawlspace entry areas every 6 weeks.

This stuff, Bifen IT, works great! We had white-footed ants here, and I thought they were just going to be part of Florida living. When the little buggers first moved to town even the state entomologists were scratching their heads! One even stated that they were almost IMPOSSIBLE to eradicate! Whoever invented Bifenthrin should get a gold medal! Not only are the ants history, but I can't even remember the last time I saw one of our lovely American cockroaches (those beauties are sometimes over 2 inches long!). I only have one complaint: now all my neighbors want me to spray at their homes, too! GREAT PRODUCTS, GREAT PRICES, GREAT SERVICE... thanks to DoMyOwnPestControl!

I have used Bifen for years. I love the stuff. In AZ we had horrible problems with crickets and the Bifen all but silenced the nuisance pests. They would get in the walls and use the pockets to enhance the volume of their incessant chirping. Here in Alabama I have found an even better use for Bifen--to kill cockroaches. Evil little bugs that can get up to 3 inches long. They are disgusting and need to just go away. By spraying Bifen around doorjambs, window sills, and every little opening I come across has virtually eliminated the pests. We rarely run across live cockroaches anymore. The neat thing about Bifen is that once dry, a bug only has to walk through the dried poison and it dies in very short order. I'd rather not see cockroaches at all, but if it has to happen, I prefer them to be dead. Bifen guarantees that for me. Great stuff.

I bought this expecting it to wipe out a tick population that I've somehow acquired in my little cabin that's been turned into a little house...It didn't...I sprayed it as soon as it arrived, just like it told me to up on your website and then I waited for another 8 days just so that I could go ahead and spray it again, because all week long I was still killing ticks in my bedroom and in my livingroom...Well, I sprayed it again 2 days ago and to be honest I put a little more of it in the sprayer...And now, I'm sitting here at my computer with a tick crawling up my sock...Oh there'll be more of them before I get up, there always are, but I kinda expect it by now...How sad...To say that I was disappointed, would be an understatement, to say the least. Take care and God Bless.

Please see our Tick Pest Control Guide for more information on how to treat for ticks, including additional product suggestions: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/ticks-c-227.html. You may need the addition of an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) for tick control. NyGuard Plus is an excellent choice for indoor tick control: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/nyguard-plus-p-2874.html

I use this product for above-ground treatments - shrubs, window sills, door frames and those troublesome yellow jacket nests. Also along inside baseboards, etc. I prefer not to use it in areas where there is food. It works great. If you use it for flying insects such as yellow jackets be careful because it is not an immediate take-down. Just saturate the soil at the nest and they will disappear within a day. Much more effective than retail store-bought products, and overall more economical. Excellent service from the folks at Do My Own.

This stuff really works. I would recommend using a tank sprayer and not a hose end sprayer however. You can't really tell if a hose end sprayer is working or how well the coverage is. After a failed attempt with a hose end sprayer, I decided to mix 1 oz per gallon, methylated oil and blue die in my hand held tank sprayer and then I covered the whole lawn. That worked. Bugs were crawling up on the side walk and dying over the next two days. Chinch bugs are gone along with every other bug that was hiding in the lawn.

Purchased this to see if I could cut down on the number of insects around my property. I put it on with a 30 gallon pull behind sprayer with a boom while I mowed and then used the wand to spray along and the bottom 2-3 feet of my house. Everywhere I sprayed has been bug free for weeks. When you go outside of that area you instantly run into mosquitos and grasshoppers. Has to be the Bifen that caused that. Will definately buy more for next year and get it down early.

I have leaf cutter ants in my pasture along the sides of Bessies Creek, I planted 22 Red Fury Phontenias to build a hedge and then the ants started cutting the leaves off and carrying small pieces to their Hole in the ground to make a fungus which they eat. I made double strength solution in my sprayer and sprayed their holes, trail and aroound the plants. After 2-3 sprays all these destructive ants are competely gone, no live ants seen. This stuff works so well on fire ants and leaf cutters

I bought this product for the pesky flies. It seems to work.. not really sure. I have 4 doggies and they do their "business" in the grass and thats where Ive seen where the flies are coming from. So after researching almost every product and reading all the mixed reviews ( between Talstar P and Bifen IT) I bit the bullet and bought Bifen IT! It killed LOTS of bugs after just a few minutes after spraying, including Wasps and their eggs within minutes. I sprayed along every window and every door including the grass where the doggies do their stuff and along the outside of a storage shed and its window and door. After the first week I noticed less flies and less other pests and insects. Yesterday (5/24/19), was the 3rd week of having sprayed the INITIAL spray down. So I reapplied a second round of this stuff, this time including the inside of my home as I saw a HUGE roach in my kitchen. Cant tell if its working to its fullest and positive reviews yet, but I will be sure to update later. So far I'm satisfied with the results Ive seen. I will definitely update soon.

Our house is a partly a restored 1784 hewn log cabin. The newer construction has natural cedar siding. It is located in the middle of our 77 acre very rural property where stink bugs have been a major problem for the last 10 or 15 years. I have used other more expensive products with decent results. This product seems to do just as good a job at killing the target species at a lower cost. I applied 6 gallons to our two-story 2200 square-foot home. Dead bodies all over the place.

This stuff is awesome for mosquitos and stinkbugs. i used it along with a splash of Nyguard. I live in a woods with a swamp in the back section of my property and Im surrounded by farms. Stinkbugs invade my house every fall and live with me all winter. We hate them. I used my electric backpack misting sprayer and sprayed all around my windows and in my roof vents and around my chimney. Anywhere there is a potential opening for the little demons to sneak in, I sprayed. Already a few days later, very noticeable reduction in stinkbugs. i have only seen 1 or 2 and I think they snuck in before I sprayed. I also sprayed my trees all along the edge of my yard and the mosquitos have taken a major hit as well. I can sit outside in my yard now. I also will say it was very nice to find a very knowledgeable lady at DoMyOwn using the chat feature to answer all of my questions. I wish I remembered her name to give her proper recognition but I was very pleased that the person answering the chat requests wasn't just anybody but rather someone who actually knows the products and the business. She was able to quickly give me great guidance which gave me confidence in my purchase. This is very rare these days so hats off to the folks at DoMyOwn. customer service is everything in my book. You have earned my business and I will definitely be spreading the word.

Note, you are supposed to apply at the rate of 4 gallons mix per 10 linear feet, so you use a lot of this. I've had acrobatic carpenter ants that live in trees hear my house, and I've tried several things to get rid of them, and they kept coming back, until I used this product. They are still gone, and that was with a much less than the 4 gallon per 10 linear feet ratio. I did make sure to use that ratio along my house near those trees and truly believe I now have a great barrier against termites and carpenter ants. I will be reapplying twice a year to be sure, but I completely like the results I've already received. By the way, be sure to read the label well. This is powerful stuff not to be used inside or anywhere people can readily be exposed. Use properly!

After using Box store Home Defense with marginal effects, decided to try Bifen IT due to so many great comments. Mixed up very easy in a 1.5 gal garden sprayer. So far I dont have the ant or wasp activity around my entry door or in the house as I used to. I also used to treat minor bed bug issue. Sprayed the inside of box spring on wood structure and along bottom lower edge where material gathered. I had previously treated them with DE and alcohol spray but that was a nightly event to spray the ones I could see and suspect areas. But so far after Bifen IT all I do is inspect at night to check status and so far 2-3 weeks and no sitings or bites.

We live by a lake in GA, and have a floating covered boat dock, and a pontoon boat. The first year, we had endless spider webs, in the roof structure of the dock, and in various corners of the boat's interior. Along with spiders, we got mud wasps, with their muddy mess all over the dock beams, and in many nooks and crannies in the boat. I bought Bifen IT, and sprayed liberally around both the dock and the boat. For the last two years, the spider webs and mud nests have been GONE!!. Since the spray is on the underside of the roof, it lasts virtually all summer. I do the dock only twice per year, and the boat about 4 times. With these results, I am now spraying the house, particularly under the eaves and porches, but also around doors, windows, and foundations with terrific results. AMAZING product, and highly recommended for general insect control.

I am a new customer and I asked for advise on fleas. Well I do not want to say she lied, but this product works a lot faster than she said.(she was giving me the benefit of doubt) My poor dog's were so covered in flea's I had to give them a bath every time I put them out. She advised me to get 2 products. 1-is Nu Guard and mix with Bi Fen I/T. I was told it will take a week or so for it to work. I sprayed my yard, as soon as I got it. The next day It rained cats and dogs, I was afraid I lost all my chemicals. Well to make a long story short. My dogs do not have a flea on them. This worked as fast as I put it on. Even after the hard rain we had. I now have 2 happy dogs and love this product. I would recommend it to any one that is having problems with fleas. It also says it is good for mosquitoes,so I will be spraying my elderly neighbors back yard. They love sitting outside. I am sure it will work for them. LOVE IT.

I have been trying to get rid of water bugs for two years with boric acid , it was ok but not good enough . One day when I was on line , I typed in how to get of water bugs and DMOPC was one of the website that popped up. I read the reviews some good some not but enough was good and the price was right so I decided it could not hurt to give it a try . I watched the video on how to spray the product and did just that . I must say I am very very happy with Bifen IT , If a water bug get into my house by the time I see it it's dead , I see insects dead all the time on the outside including Bumble Bees . I spray every three months and I tell anyone about it that has a insect problem .The price is great and the product goes a long way . I will continue to use this product . If you have a insect problem give it a try but the one thing I did learn is you have to measure the correct amount of Bifen to the correct amount of water . Just because I can't stand water bugs I always mix the highest dose which is 1 oz Bifen to 1 gallon of water . I hope anyone that decides to use this product have great results like I did . Thanks a million DMOPC

My main target was more of the Boxelder bug on the outside of the house than the roach's inside.They were all over the driveway weeded cracks on the ground and stuff. Followed the instructions about mixing it with water and shake it up a lil bit. Upon spraying a wide sweep of the long drive way as well as nearly dousing a few shrubs. They definitely were running upon spraying.. I decide to play the waiting game after. Lost count of days and weeks... Where they go!? Hardly if ANY around. YES!!! For the roaches. Used Gentrol in the mix. I ended up spraying the whole place borders: rooms, kitchen area, living room, closets and where ever there's a crack space. Used at another family members place as well. Little by little at a time. They are hardly coming out. Maybe, a permanent game of hide-and-go-seek? lol Anyways, I am hell of impressed. The small bottle alone yields quite a bit.
