Customer Reviews for Bifen IT

We here in Texas deal with scorpions on a daily basis. I originally purchased Bifen I/T to control grasshoppers but after reading the booklet I realized I had just what I needed to be able to walk in the house barefooted again. I treated the house and yard per instructions and have not seen a scorpion in three months. We killed as many as 8 scorpions a day, in the house prior to Bifen I/T. I won't be without Bifen I/T ever again.

A friend of mine recommended this product for my scorpion problem,so I tried it and it does work.After spraying my yard I waited till the scorpions came out and watched the effects,and it works quickly,but kills slowly depending on the size of the scorpion.Small die faster than the larger ones.You will know it is affecting them as soon as they begin to either race aroung or continue to back up and sting at everything(including themselves)and this is when you should keep your distance.As an added bonus it also takes out the Black Widows as well,so I will continue using Bifen IT to control the unwanted pests.

I've been buying the same 3 insecticides from Lowes (Houston), even rotating my spraying weeks to control mosquitoes. I'm sure it worked for awhile but we have had a lot of mosquitoes around. I bought this 4 weeks ago, sprayed at the 0.06% (1 oz / gal) and have had no issues in my backyard around the pool and fish pond. Every couple days a dead roach or spider appears so I know its working. I just need to get my neighbors to use it in the cul-de-sac and we will all be set. Great Stuff!! I'm a Master Chemist so I should know.

I would recommend Bifen to my family and friends. Oh wait, I do. *haha!* I live in south Texas, in Corpus, and have used this product for years. It states up to 3months with no critters but I've experiences at least 6months without any critters. We don't really have a rainy season as most people think and it is mostly humid here where the concrete and steal buildings are sweating so I've been able to use Bifen on the exterior of my house and property, and the product works just as well outside as in. I give Bifen I/T more stars but five is the most I can give here.

I'd like to preface this by saying I very rarely write a review about anything, but I feel compelled after using this for about 2 years now. It absolutely demolishes the mosquito and woodtick population. I live in northern MN. I have about 2.5 acres of "yard" and mix 1/2 to 3/4 oz/gallon in my ATV sprayer. I broadcast spray the yard and then go around the perimeter with the wand. Reduces the mosquito population by 95% or more when mixed 1/2 oz/gallon and sprayed at 5 mph with 14 ft swath. I imagine I could achieve 99%-100% if I applied a greater concentration/acre. I've worked all day in the yard with zero ticks and mosquitoes, then spent the next day working in the tall grass where I didn't spray, and found myself covered in ticks and swatting mosquitoes all day. Impressively effective.

I reviewed this product earlier upon my first application with a Mistblower (Stihl SR450) and just wanted to update everyone as to how well this product is working for me. I'm typically doing my spraying monthly on my 1/2 acre lot. I'm mixing 8oz of Bifen with 3.5 gallons of water and typically using setting "1" (lowest application volume) on the mistblower. I'm using more Bifen than typically recommended because of the low volume of the application (which gets me appropriate coverage without having the reload the mistblower). Anyway, the results are, simply put, shocking. I've gone from "unable to be outside around dusk because of gnats" to "unable to coax a gnat onto my property". They are just gone; which, in my book, is the best you could ever hope for with a pesticide! And it's so inexpensive on a per treatment basis, I've got no worries about the cost of maintaining this level of pest control. I'm still getting 1000s of dead bugs falling into my pool for a few days after treatment, not the best situation, but not the product's fault! Finally, one final nice side effect is that I have to spray much less inside now. I'm using the mistblower and the Bifen outside the house, and it seems to be keeping the bugs from entering the property at all. In short, Bifen and a mistblower are an incredible combination. If you need to take your yard back from biting nasties, this certainly would be my recommended technique!

Used Bifen to control mosquitoes in my yard and it worked better than expected or anticipated. Used 1 oz./gal and got great results.

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 a half open/enclosed patio, spiders haven! I sprayed top to bottom using .05 to 1gal mix Bifen IT and the spiders left in 1 day. By day 2 were enjoying the patio. I have sprayed the foundation of the house-using the video recommendations up 3 feet and out 3 feet, around the windows, door sills, trimmed the hedges 6 inches from the house. no more spiders in the house! we have two dogs. I finished spaying our yard two weeks ago to control flea and tics...Fantastic product!! Fast delivery service, excellent on line tech service, thank You for your help.

I purchased this product to control mosquitoes that were rampant this year. We couldn't step out of the house without literally being attacked by them. I had tried other insecticides bought at local retailers, with some success, but Bifen IT eliminated them instantly. When inspecting the damage I caused these critters the next day I noted as a plus it was also killing the ants, spiders, earwigs and some sort of beetle I had been seeing around the house as well. Shipping from DoMyOwnPestControl.com was fast and the Q&A section on their products was very informative.

I have been using Bifen IT (Talstar) for more than five years. I friend of mine who was having problems with spiders and camel pack crickets shared his secret for their eradication. This is the same product that professional exterminators use for treating soil around new foundations for termites. It's the same product sold in the big box hardware stores in gallon containers with a spray attachment that you might pay upwards to $10 for. Put an ounce to the gallon of this concentrate into your home sprayer and save lots of money. Slightly diluted versions are great for house plants which become infested with pests.

I called the local pest control place to come out and do my yard last year because they had excellent reviews and had a reputation of being the best. They showed up and started spraying. As he worked his way around back, I took a look to see what was in the back of his truck that he had just mixed into the giant tank in the back of his truck. This is the stuff they use that yielded such amazing results. I paid him his $180, went online and ordered this and a backpack sprayer (will review that next). Grand total of about $140-$150 I had enough to do my house, my sisters house, and my two rental properties for atleast a year or two to come. The quart bottle yields 32-96 gallons of mix, which makes this stuff cost as little as $0.25 per gallon. Hard to beat.

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

Bifen IT worked great on the beetle infestation we have every year. We have tried many different chemicals and natural remedies to no avail. Bifen is the answer for us. Also did a great job on all other pests.

I have been fighting billbugs for about 10 years now, and have tried everything from the big box stores. None of it has really worked. I ordered this product as a last resort before just giving up. It was the best thing I ever did for my bug problem. I sprayed my lawn and about a half hour later went out do some other work and saw a fair amount of billbugs trying to get out of my lawn. Had never seen this before. I also sprayed around the house and in front of the garage door. The next morning there were about a dozen different critters belly up, in front of the garage door. While spraying the lawn I noticed a grasshopper issue starting in my flower beds. Sprayed in there and haven't seen 1 grasshopper since. Honestly, and it has been about a month now. To try and eleminate my problem I power raked and pulled out a 1000 pounds of thatch, a couple weeks later. My thinking was those that survived the first spray wouldn't survive this time. Since then I have not seen a billbug alive. I have been on my hands and knees a few times since spraying and haven't seen any bugs and my lawn is trying to make a come back. I would also like to mention that I have dogs and just followed instructions of letting product dry before letting them on lawn. No issues with the animals.

A couple of days after receiving my order of Bifen IT I had a really bad day with flies and small spiders all over the exterior of my home & shop. Sprayed a mixture of 1oz. per gallon on the entire exterior surface of both buildings with special attention to doorways and it is now 10 days later and no sign of flies or spiders. Occasionally a fly will land but will immediately move on. Great product!! Am curious to see how long the effect will last. It's already been worth the price.

I bought Bifen IT last year and my mosquito problem is over! I have tried many other products that were ineffective in killing mosquitoes. I live in NW Florida. I sprayed Bifen IT at 4 pm one day & at 8 pm I went outside and only saw one mosquito fly by me acting disoriented & confused! Before, if I went out at night, the skeeters would eat me alive. I spray Bifen IT on my home, fences, & trees, all around the borders of my property, creating a barrier. Bifen also kills ants, roaches, and fleas, which Florida seems to have so many of. I HIGHLY recommend Bifen IT to everyone!

The first spring in our new house brought with it tiny red bugs crawling all over our concrete patio in the back yard. I'd never seen this insect before, but Internet research revealed them to be clover mites. Mites? Ew. My husband found this website and bought the Bifen IT. The fact that it's Eco-friendly made me very happy, but even better was the fact that it worked! After one application, the mighty mites weren't so mighty, and as a bonus the small army of ants parading around under our feet disappeared as well. Now we use it once a month or so to keep all the nasty critters at bay. Thank you for such a great product!

Haven't seen any springtails or ants since I have sprayed all the windows and around the outside of the house. Will definitely be using this every summer.

This is the generic version of talstar, works GREAT....this is the nuclear weapon of pest control...this is the end....if you spray this and it doesnt kill bugs, run fast because they must be super beings..... But seriously it works great...it has a docile white milky appearance...but dont be fooled..treat this chemical with lots of respect and follow the label. Long sleeve shirt..eye protection..and careful spraying. I sprayed it and thought "man this aint gonna do nothin" ....came back the next day...hundreds of dead ants...spiders...centipedes...mosquitos........ Kills bugs DEAD

This year has been the worst for mosquitoes in my small orchard. Tried soap and fruit tree spray with no effect. Applied Bifen as directed in the smaller dose of 1 oz per gal, and after spraying, the next evening the 1000 or more mosquitoes were gone and have stayed away for a week. I still have half of my starting 2 gallons left. Thanks

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.

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.

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 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.
