Customer Reviews for Bifen IT

I've used Bifen for several years to manage and control Central Texas red and black ants, Texas sized roached, earwigs, silverfish, termites, fleas, ticks, etc. Its an ongoing battle in our area but Bifen is super effective and lasts several months before I need to reapply.

when I went to order the product, your site said to order at a later time. Some kind of delay. I ordered at a later time successfully and when my order arrived,I received two orders. I should have not ordered at all because your product did nothing to alleviate my problem. I have to return one order because it doesn't work. A total waste of money.

  Expert response:
Thank you for your comments. We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion. It looks like we already have a return set up for the second order that you received. To treat for roaches, we do recommend to use a gel bait and an Insect Growth Regulator in addition to residual sprays to treat the population more completely and effectively. We have an excellent Roach Treatment Guide that details the best way to implement a successful roach control program: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/how-to-get-rid-of-roaches-a-458.html We are always happy to assist you with your order or treatment by telephone, as well, at 866-581-7378.

I bought Bifen IT to kill the stink bugs. It works great. I am so pleased, thank you.

Have a terrible gnat problem down here in S. FL on the intercoastal. Sprayed 6 gallons of this through a mist blower and have seen the best results I've ever experienced on the gnats. My pool has a layer of dead gnats on it (thousands) and the little nasties haven't bitten me since I've sprayed. Only been a day, but the knockdown of this through the mist blower has been pretty incredible. Plenty of dead (larger) bugs showing up around the perimeter of the house as well. I'm only going to say that this product "works well", and not compare it to other chemicals I've tried; because, to be fair, this is my first application with a mist blower (so perhaps the other chemicals would have worked as well applied that way). However, this chemical is significantly less expensive than some of the other's I've used; and, given the volume that gets applied when using a motorized sprayer, it's a great value for doing my 1/2 acre lot. I'll update this review should I notice anything that I don't like (short residual, for example), but, right now (48 hours after spraying) this stuff seems pretty perfect; cheap, works fast and knockdown of pretty much every pest we've got.

the only downside to this is having to read the directions on how much to mix. (its alot to read) it all depends on what your spraying and where. follow it right and you cant beat it. cheap and effective. beats paying 29.99 a gallon at a local hardware store for a name brand that only works for a few days. this stuff works for awhile. just make sure you spray it with no rain for a few days. i used it mainly on carpenter ants in my hickory trees. has killed them and kept them off trees now for 4 weeks now. i also sprayed it around the perimeter of my house and havent seen any ants, bugs or spiders since.

Hi, Last year a friend of mine told me about this product and urged me to tryout some of his, which I did last year. I sprayed it on my dock, inside the boat house, to eliminate spiders and around the house to get rid of critters. It worked great and lasted at least 6 months. This product goes a long way due to the fact you only need 1+ ounces per gallon of water depending on your critter situation. This spring I purchased a case of the 3/4 gallon jugs which we shared with neighbors and friends. So far everyone agreed it works great. Happy debugging.

Purchased this on recommendation from owner of a resort with cabins, and then online reviews. We have bad mosquito problems in the summer shortly after heavy rains. In the past I have used a product from the Big Box stores which was marginally effective. Applied Bifen IT following 1 oz./gallon / 1000 sq ft and applied over entire yard. Essentially no mosquito problem the next day when I mowed the lawn. Now even with the rains, we can enjoy our patio and back yard.

Since using Bifen IT (and canceling my quarterly pest treatment service) my house is virtually pest free (well - if you don't count the kids and the dog...). A barrier around the house is all you need plus a few squirts around the inside where pipes come in through walls or where you've spotted insect activity. The only bugs I see now are either dead or dying. Highly recommend doing it on your own. Saves a ton of money and seems to me to be more effective.

I have bifen 25.1 and I use 10 mil on 2 gl of water which is the 6%. I have sprayed directly on roaches and they just keep going like if I had sprayed water on them. Even after minutes passed they keep going. Bifen has NO effect on roaches. It seems to only kill beetles and crickets, but that's about it. I am very dissapointed on this overrated product.

  Expert response:
While Bifen IT is a great product and does indeed work very well, roach control will require more than an insecticide spray because of the way roaches nest. You should also note, even if you spray Bifen right on a roach it does not offer an immediate knockdown or kill. It will take several hours for insects to die after coming into to contact with treated areas. Please take a moment to read over our Roach Control Guide to learn how to implement a successful roach control program: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/how-to-get-rid-of-roaches-a-458.html

I have been using Bifen for a while to control ants, mosquitoes, and roaches. Works really well. I bought it locally, but the price was high so I did an on line search and came to domyownpestcontrol. Whoa, great price and FREE shipping. Ordered it and it came right away. I am very pleased with the price and the service of domyownpestcontrol. Will definately be reordering Bifen and other products too.

Bifenthrin is great for killing insects it is not a instant killer it takes time to affect, sprayed it and next day started to see dead roaches, earwigs, June bugs, spiders, ants, and etc. If it's not working for you I would recommend using a sprayer dedicated just for this product. I see people spraying with same sprayer they use herbicides and other insecticides into he same sprayer that could create resistance or purchase a good pump spray cleaner to remove residue from previous chemicals. Insects can also become resistant to chemicals so also recommend switching chemicals. If you see it's not working for you.

This is the same chemical I buy in those hose end sprayers from the big box stores, except I can mix up a higher concentration than 0.03%. I used 1 oz per gallon of water and applied it using a Stihl backpack mist blower, and probably applied it too heavy. That was 5 days ago and the bugs are still croaking over, and that includes one good rainstorm since the application!! Only downside is that it did leave streaks on my house windows, but probably because I mixed a high ratio and applied it real heavy. I also mixed in 1 oz per gallon of ExciteR for some quick knockdown of the flying bugs, which worked fantastically by the way.

This stuff does not even phase springtails. Waste of money. Would have been nice to know that before the purchase. Save your money or buy DForce and just kill them when you see them.

We have had a lot of mosquitos in our area ( this has been a very wet spring ) I heard from a friend about your product - Bifen it . So we tried it and walla -- no more mosquitos. Now we can sit outside and enjoy our yard. Thank you. I have told my friends and they also bought the product.

I ran across a youtube video a year or two ago where a rancher was espousing this product as his go-to fire ant killer, so I thought I'd give it a try since Ortho and Amdro just don't seem to do the trick half of the time. This has worked a heck of a lot better than the rest! Thanks, DoMyOwnPestControl, for offering it cheaper than anyone else around (and with free shipping, to boot!)

I buy Bifen IT each year and spray 13acres of yard and 10acres of woods to eliminate ticks and spiders. It really works well. I did a white test. That is laying a sheet in woods and in yard all day. Not a single tick or spider was on the sheet. Actually not a single bug was on the sheet. It's an amazing product. If you are you trying to eliminate the Lyme Disease carrying ticks but this product

The chince bugs took over my yard and we were freaking out because of it. We tried this product and the yard is coming back to life. The bugs must have taken down my address and sent a memo to all their chnich bug buddies to let them know not to come here anymore. P.S. I'm no expert so with the help of Do My Own Pest Control I feel so much better now than before I tried this product.

We have used and compared Bifen IT, Masterline Bifenthrin (Univar product), and Talstar Bifenthrin. We find that Bifen IT is just as good at a considerable savings. The only thing we don't like is the product package. The other brands come in a bottle with the measuring cup built in. I dropped the rating by 1 star for this inconvenience. DoMyOwnPestControl has great shipping times and we are very happy with all items we have purchased here.

For the past 3-4 years I've had an increasing problem with box elder bugs residing in the landscaping mulch. After talking with one of great Customer Service folks at DMOPC.com, I took her recommendation and went with the Bifen IT - Quart. At a recommended rate of 1 Oz. per gallon, I mixed up 10 gallons of solution for my tank sprayer and applied liberally per instructions. After 2 weeks, there is still not a box elder bug to be found - anywhere!! They'll eventually show up again but next time I'll be ready for them. Great product. Great support. Great price. Great service. It's hard to beat a deal like that.

Living in Central Florida bugs are always an issue, there are some here that say the mosquito should be our State Bird. Bottom line, Bifen IT used as directed works. I have see a huge reduction in pest after using this product. That includes roaches, fleas, noseeums, gnats, etc..

Purchased product based on other users and reviews and decided to try a natural pest control. Sprayed around door entries, windows and perimeter of house mainly for ants. Its been 3 weeks and there are no signs of any trying to get in the house. Poof! Gone No smell and no mess and I just used a 1 gal. sprayer to take care of area.

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

Best product for getting rid of our wasps and cinch bugs ever. We bought a place with 3 acres and bug infested trees and cinch bugs so bad that the dirt driveway looked like it was moving.Bifin has changed things drastically around this place. It is so concentrated that i used very little...it goes a long way! It has exceeded our expectations and i have already told everyone i know about it. Thanks a bajillion...cuz thats how many bugs ot wiped out!

Safe for mammals but highly toxic to bees. I saw the reviews and was relieved to find it was mostly safe for humans and dogs, but it's highly toxic for bees.

This product works really good, and is an incredible value. It's too bad that so many people waste their money on the junk sold at local outlets. I have purchased a number of products from this company. DoMyOwnPestcontrol.com gets 5 out of 5 stars. Their ordering system is simple, and delivery is always prompt. I really like that they use a much sturdier shipping carton. It always arrives in perfect shape (unlike many companies).

Just moved to the country into a new house. Had spiders showing up all in the house. Mixed a gallon of Bifen IT, and within a day or so, the spiders and other bugs disappeared. The stuff works very well.

I had heard from someone that this chemical was THE BEST, so I ordered a bottle. Well I was VERY DISAPPOINTED! We mixed according to the chart with no results. Then we mixed it VERY VERY strong with very minimal results. This was a waste of my money! Sorry, I really wished it would've worked.

We used this product on grass hoppers and it looks like a grass hopper apocalypse hit them. We live in North Central Texas and the grass hoppers were destroying all of our vegetation. Walking out through the yard created waves of grass hoppers. I used a 2 gallon sprayer and hit them early in the morning before they started moving. Did the tree's and property perimeter first. Then just did some passes up and down the yard. The only down side is we have dead grass hoppers every where. The first day of spraying our front porch was covered in them. I may switch over to the granular form next time and broadcast it more completely throughout the property and spray the trees only with solution. A friend of ours who operates a plant nursery has also purchased and used with great success! Great product!
