Customer Reviews for Bifen IT

Ive had Crazy Raspberry Ants for about two years. In fact, my whole neighborhood has them. Billions of them. I've tried Termidor, Talstar, Demon WP and Cyper WP (same as Demon). I tried several different ant baits. All were effective in killing them. The dead ones were piling up like coffee grounds but they kept coming. I have a large barn and a house and driveways and sidewalks. The Crazies would surround the house and barn and walk crazy trails along the edges of the concrete. Thankfully, they didn't try to enter the structures but I figured they were just waiting for an opportunity. It was disturbing to see so many of them and nothing really deterred them. Then I tried Bifen IT. I bought the ¾ gallon size and I mixed 14 gallons (per the directions) at a time in a power sprayer – just like I did with the other insecticides. I sprayed about two feet up the exterior walls of my structures and about two to three feet out into the yard. I sprayed the ant trails along the edges of the driveways and sidewalks. There were billions of dead ones but the live Crazies left for about a month. Then they came back. I treated everything again and they left for about six weeks. Then they came back again. I just did another treatment today, it's August. I expect them to leave again but I figure they will come back eventually. But at least the Bifen IT gets rid of them for weeks at a time and it doesn't seem to be diluted too much by rain. I think they avoid the Bifen IT and just hang out in the yard where I can't see them but at least I get some relief from the pests. I've seen that colder weather makes them go dormant but they really go crazy when it's hot. The only thing they are good for is I no longer have any fire ants anywhere in my three acre yard. A University entomologist told me they would eventually move out of the area but it could take a few years.

In a backyard green was infested with up to 40 ant mounds. Tried Ortho Bug B Gon, Sevin, tobacco juice with liquid dish soap and had very poor results. One 15ml application of Bifen IT and voila complete success!

I was so skeptical after trying all the hose-end insect control (mosquito) sprays for around the house/yard. However, we had a very wet spring and the mosquitos were horrible! Even just going out to get into the car I would get bit at least 3 times! After the first application which I think was about 50% lower than recommended due to my own mixing error, bugs were gone for 4 weeks!!! The neighbors yard, still terrible! I'm outside after 7pm mowing the lawn without bug spray on me and not getting a single bit while the neighbor is next door slapping away! She couldn't believe the difference from my yard to hers and I have way more landscape plantings (hostas, daylillies, shrubs) to harbor the pesky insects. After about 4 weeks, I started to get bit a few times, so I reapplied and no more bugs. Four weeks without bugs and letting the kids play on the swingset and playground in the backyard without getting welts from being bit is wonderful! I'll be buying this every season.

I have sprayed this around my eaves and foundations, and those areas have been free of insects, after a number of deceased insects. I was particularly trying to keep boring bees and wasps away, and it seems to be doing well at repelling them. It didn't leave any residue nor odor. I have been very impressed with the fairness, reasonableness and high quality of this company and the speed and accuracy of their filling orders and shipping. A great help in our constant battle against the burgeoning pest population!

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!

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 spending more than $500 last year for a Mosquito Magnet that killed some bugs, but did not stop the mosquitos or midges, I tried Bifen IT this Spring and was finally able to enjoy my back yard and pool. This stuff works great, although we had to retreat after about 6 weeks, probably due to a 6 inch rainfall.

This product seems to be working well. I have sprayed it mainly for mosquito control. However, i had some areas with fire ants and it has terminated them nicely. I have a large property and have not yet had time to spray everywhere, but with what I have seen so far, this might be the answer to my pest control.

I have a cotttage in the woods near the beach. The house was covered with dirt dobbers and spiderwebs. You could not go outside during the summer due to the mosquitoes. After using Bifen, I have no more dirt dobbers or spiders. I can now go outside without bug spray and have no mosquitoes. I sprayed the outside of the house and around the house on the outside. That was 3 months ago and still no bugs. Great product and good people to deal with.

We live in a townhome community that doesn't get sprayed at all by the city. Quite literally you see hundreds of them flying around on my front porch with your pwn eyes. I sprayed with BifenIT last week and haven't seen a mosquito since!! I have bought this stuff years ago.

I've been using this stuff for 4 years now and couldn't be happier. Living in Mobile Al, we get plenty of mole crickets and fire ants. This is the only product I've found that actually works. It will last for 4+ months. I treat my entire yard using a hose end sprayer. You'll laugh at how the ant beds pop up right at the edge of your treated boundaries. Everyone I've recommended this product to agrees completely. The price for 4 jugs is the best you'll find anywhere.

I use this for indoor and wood since it's water based, and Bifen XTS (oil based) for outdoor as a GP pesticide, mostly targeting earwigs, crickets and ants. Please do not spray your flowering plants, this stuff will kill off bees easily. Keep it on the ground. Ants will find ANY missed spot to invade. Take care to keep veg. from touching your walls, around support poles (like porches) and utility penetrations. A wide band a few feet up the exterior walls and out a couple feet has been very effective.

Learned of Bifen IT from a friend. He lives on the edge of a marsh and had a mosquito problem. He sprayed with Bifen IT and is abel to sit out in his yard in the evening a lot longer now. I wanted something for the same reason plus other creatures. Bifen has stopped all the ant mounds from popping up after our rains. I sprayed all around our slab and. We have not had any ants despite a Humming bird feeder leaking nectar on the drive. I also spray my Canna lillies for leif roller worms and have the best looking Cannas in the neighborhood. I am recomending this product to all my friends.

Well, someone recommended it for fleas, but after I used it and they used it....it doesn't work very well for that, but it killed everything else. LOL And your staff recommended to me NOT to use it for that, so they were CORRECT. Yes, I feel foolish. The company's help and fast delivery was awesome. Thank you for being available.

I tried the usual products from the big box stores. Nothing controlled the moth stage of the sod webworms. Bifen IT did it in one application, awesome product. I have read other uses for Bifen and will try for other pests, ie roaches.

We had an ant, flea, gnat and an assortment of crawling bugs and now an occasional bug is all we see. We treated a half acre of yard and 4 buildings. We definately have control of our bug problem. I recommend this over store brands which did not work for us. We have dogs and a cat and followed application instructions and had no issues with our pets and the low odor was a plus.

I have tried everything on the market for fire ants but this is the best thing yet. Our yard was covered with mounds. No matter how hard we tried to get rid of them, they kept popping up. We used the bifen it and they have disapeared. I am glad we found out about. We are telling all our friends and family about it.

I have used Bifen IT for years. I have a bad fire ant problem and the Bifen IT keeps them under control. While you can't get rid of them you can keep them on the run even if it is to your neighbors yard. It is great for cock roaches and it it odorless so you don't have to leave home when you spray. I highly recommend it.
