Customer Reviews for Bifen IT

I have applied the Bifen IT using a hose end sprayer at the rate of 1.5 ounces per gallon and power sprayed the entire property. Two weeks later I made another application concentrating more heavily on three feet up the side of the house and a three foot band around the house. Using this method and this product seemed to abate my scorpion problem. My plan is to do another application a month after the last which will be in two weeks from now. Last weekend I did find some dead scorpions that were on the perimeter wall and one live one that was very slow. So this seems to be working. I assume if I can control them outside they will not be inside the house. Oh yeah, I did use delta dust in all the crevices and in the attic just in case these were entry points.

I live in South Florida and about 4 years ago I noticed a 'new' variety of ant which came in fast and furious. The first year wasn't terribly bad but the second year they had multiplied 5x in numbers. I saw a pest control truck at a neighbors house and asked the guy what he knew about this new ant. He called it the "Caribbean Crazy Ant" (I looked it up on the Internet and sure enough, that was the 'new' ant). He told me that he could control this ant with a "secret" solution, and by the third year I called him for help. I live on a 1.3 acre landscaped lot with many trees, bushes, plants. He sprayed my yard and all the foliage for $200. I guess he thought that I would not attempt to spray this huge yard myself so he actually divulged his "secret" solution. He told me he used Talstar. So back to the Internet I went and found the generic Bifen IT brand. I ordered it and sprayed my own yard the next year for less than $30. The ants stayed away from my house and I will use this product each and every spring from this point on! BTW: of course, not only did it control the crazy ants, it has kept all other pests away as well!

I use Bifen IT to control roaches and other insects in my home. It dries clear with no stain or smell and kills many kind of insect invaders . The price is right and I feel safe having it as a indoor insecticide around my family and pets once it is dry. I have found it works very well, and I don't have the cost of a exterminator that probably uses the same insecticide .

I use Bifen IT to control fleas outside where my cat hangs out (front porch and adjacent yard area). It has proven to be extremely effective when applied every 3 to 4 months during the spring and summer. I highly recommend this product.

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 bought Bifen IT because I saw it so highly recommended on this website. I had seen at least one cockroach each day since moving into our new house, so I knew that it needed spraying. The instructions for the Bifen IT product were clear and easy to understand. I also got a 2-gallon sprayer to use, and it worked really well. I sprayed around the foundation up to 3 feet and about 2 feet away from the house, along with any other cracks and crevices around doors, etc. I haven't seen any cockroaches in the 6 weeks since I sprayed. It's amazing! I did find a dead one outside the house around the perimeter of the porch. This stuff really works. For the price, it's a bargain, and you can save yourself a lot of money by taking the hour or so to completely do your house. I plan on re-spraying every 3 months to keep the bugs out. If you're looking for a good deal on pest control, do it yourself with Bifen IT. I also had some questions about how to use it and the customer support people here on the site were very prompt and helpful.

Bifen IT works great for mole crickets. One application in the evening and the next morning I had dead mole crickets on the concrete drive.

My uncle told me about this product. Since Diazinon isn't available anymore I had to find something new for the home and the work shop. I have used Bifen IT now for a year and it is a better product than what I used before. We had a time with spiders for awhile but now have them under control. I use it around my trees for ants and in my work shop for spiders. I also use it in my dog kennels and there are no ants or bugs around. It works great at label recommendations in a pump up sprayer.

I like this better than Malathion and Sevin. I spray our lawn, perennials, annuals, shrubs, trees, rain gutters, under our deck and foundation with Bifen IT. I'm on a wooded acre and spray as much of my property as I can. I give everything a good wet spray with a hose end sprayer which offers more coverage than a tank sprayer. I spray a few days after a rain when everything is dried out. I've always thought that the rain and moisture breeds mosquitoes so that is a good time to spray them. There is no odor. But it's the insect protection that is fantastic. We spend a lot of time outside in the yard and gardens. We also spend a lot of time on our back deck at night. In the past it would be unbearable. This stuff kills bugs dead and keeps killing which seems like weeks at a time. Pesky mosquitoes and gnats are history. If you wanna be able to spend time outside and those flying insects are a problem then this is the stuff you need. I just hope the state doesn't outlaw it.

I was in the pest control industry for eight years and so as an experienced person who has using pesticides such as Demon EC - a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide, I have to say that Bifen IT is fantastic. It was recommended by my brother, a pest control operator, to treat a problem I had with carpenter ants. After applying it as directed (1 oz per gallon) I was able to successfully cut down the population to zero. Obviously it will need reapplication since the EPA has regulated that these chemicals be biodegradable but it's certainly worth the effort. You don't need to hire a company to control your pest problems. Buy this product and follow the directions and you'll be delighted with the results.

I bought Bifen IT to control white-footed ants here in S. Florida... it worked GREAT for a couple of years; but the ants have apparently developed a resistance to it... I treated and retreated.. I soaked the trails numerous times; but it just won't work anymore... I spoke with a rep from Bifen's maker and he suggested I try Dominion 2L.. He also suggested that I alternate using Bifen and Dominion so as to reduce the likelihood of resistance... So, here I go trying Dominion 2L.. If that doesn't work, I'll bite the bullet and try Termidor.

I am a homeowner who has been taking care of my own lawn for thirteen years. I have used Bifen I/T to control chinch bugs in my St. Augustine lawn in central Florida (Tampa area) for a year now. It has kept the chinch bugs under control and I have not had damage. I have used other granular products purchased at retail stores over the years and they aren't as effective. Unfortunately, the chinch bugs seem to grow immune to those products after constant use. I first used Bifen I/T that I had purchased at a local nursery. It worked very well. My confidence grew with this product when I found out that my neighbor's professional pest control company uses the exact same product. My neighbor had NO chinch bug damage that entire season. One day I came across DOMYOWNPESTCONTROL while online and couldn't believe how much cheaper it was than my local nursery. I could buy a quart at DOMYOWN for the same price as a pint at the nursery. I received the product within three days with free shipping. I had a great experience with DOMYOWNPESTCONTROL and I highly recommend them. I have already recommended them to my neighbors. FYI, read the label of Bifen I/T on how many other pest it kills. I plan on using it for indoor pest control as well.

I have used this product for 2 years now--great product to keep ants, spiders, and bugs from around your house and bark mulch. Same product a local exterminator uses and charges much more money- You won't be disappointed

I haven't used Bifen IT yet, but this is the same chemical that is in Ortho "Home Defense", that is effective yet non-toxic to animals and people. I have used the Ortho product a lot, including for dry wood termites. Using Bifen IT, you can mix up the same solution for a little over $1 a gallon compared to $8 a gallon for the Ortho product. Local professional exterminators use the same chemical for general insect control, both in liquid and granule form. Also, I received good and prompt service from DoMyOwnPestControl.com, and I will be ordering more products from them. Their website encouraged me to tackle my termite project rather than paying very big bucks to the termite companies.

I have used the product before and was pleased with it. I was very pleased to find it on the Internet and also enjoyed the video clip on how to apply the product. I plan to order again when I need more.

On the suggestion of a friend, I used a pump sprayer to spray Bifen IT on the English ivy and pine bed areas of my yard (.3 acres), to keep the mosquitoes from carrying us away in the summer. As far as I can tell, it has been successful. Check back in mid-summer for the full report, but before you could expect about 4 to 5 bites and I have been 'bothered' once every 5 times we have been out. I also sprayed the entire perimeter of my home as the video instructed, but have not had termites before. I have been in my home for 5 years (25 year old home). I am on a basement with no wood product in contact with the grade. So far so good. If it keeps the mosquitoes down for the rest of the Summer, I will buy enough to last me, just in case the EPA makes up a reason to ban it.

After quite alot of web research, I bought this product to get rid of a spider mite infestation that is affecting some ivy I have as a houseplant. In the research, I found that Bifen can also be used to exterminate other kinds of pests, such as ants, roaches etc. So, besides spraying my infested plant, I also gave it a shot on house porches and lawn for ants. The product has worked very well for the ants, but the spider mites are still a problem with my ivy, after almost 2 weeks of treatment. I'm going to insist a little bit more as I saw some improvement, maybe this mite infestation has got too much for the Bifen to work. Will see.

Bifen I/t is a great product!!! I use to have ants, scorpions, and roaches and now I see them dead, stiff and up side down when I get up in the morning. I will recommend this product to anyone with pest problems and thank you for making things so easy.

This is the only product I've found that keeps the sand fleas under control in our barn. After an Internet search, I came across this product. Wish I'd found it sooner. Would have saved a bundle!

I bought this product to treat a wide variety of insects, mainly fleas, ticks, ants and spiders. It's been 2 weeks since I sprayed the exterior of my house and barn. I'm seeing ants, spiders and a few fleas here and there, maybe it has a time delay on insects that are new to treated areas. Plan on retreating entire yard and house again in August just to be safe!

I own a campground in Texas, and I have been using Bifen IT for several years. I mix 1 ounce of Bifen IT per gallon of water and spray a fine mist on the lower branches of the trees in the campground (up to 6 feet off the ground). The mist that does not land on the tree branches falls to the ground, so I don't have to spray the ground. I treat the campground once every 6 months, and I have absolutely no problems with any insect. It kills mosquitos and ants almost immediately upon contact, and it takes about 30 seconds to kill spiders. When spiders are sprayed, they usually remain still for 15 seconds. Then they begin to feel the effects of the insecticide and their legs start moving frantically back and forth. At the end of 30 seconds the spider is dead. I'm not talking about little spiders. The spiders we have around here have bodies the size of a golf ball. By the way, I should mention that I add 1/4 cup of Dawn liquid dishwashing soap to 15 gallons of mixed insecticide. The liquid soap helps the insecticide stick to the foliage. Excellent product!

Works as good as Talstar for chinch bug control in Floratam lawns. Less pricey

I own a motel, and bugs were a big problem for me. We have 1000's of pill bugs (AKA roly poly) infest our property every spring and millipedes every fall. One application of Bifen IT has completely wiped out the bugs... I don't see a single bug out there... This product is great!!

This is the second year I've bought Bifen and it works great to get any tick problem in your home under control. I live in a very wooded area and ticks are inevitable but this certainly keeps them at bay. Highly recommended.

This order was to resupply what I had recently used. My experience in the past has been great. I use it primarily for chinch bugs. I usually spray in mid June and again if necessary.

Anyone having experienced millipede invasion knows it has been impossible to control them before this product. Best insect control purchase I have ever made. Delivery of the product was 2 days after ordering.

I started to notice more and more bugs/spiders/ants coming into the house. Rather than paying someone 100+ dollars to do it, I looked into a DIY alternative. Being that the house hasn't been sprayed before, I did 1 oz per gallon. I assumed it was working, as I sprayed I saw spiders running for their lives. I didn't think a spider could move that fast. It's been about a week and I haven't had anything in the house. For the amount it makes and how effective it seemingly is - I would highly recommend this in the best bang for your buck category.
