Bifen Granules

I ordered this product because my son had a very bad case of Springtails. They were in his house along the side of the house where the a/c was outside. We tried the liquid and also several bags of the granules. They got rid of them and now my son swears by this product. He says it kills all kinds of insects in his back yard which borders on a large forest in Tennessee. I just reordered two more bags for this year. It is wonderful and would recommend it to anyone.

Bifen Granules are Fantastic!
By Lori on 03/04/2014

The past two years have been awful for me with pests. First it was clover mites and then springtails, not to mention ants, etc. I live in the country and have been here for 31 years. Never had a problem, or bad problem until two years ago. Nothing including pest control helped. Such a waste of money. So I came here and asked a question... I tried the BifenIt spray which worked great, but still not enough. So I ordered the granules and put this down last year for the first time. Thats all it took. All problems gone!!! Just ordered a bag for this spring and summer. My neighbor who knew what I was going through saw my results and now has canceled his pest control and is going in with me to order what we need and we do it three times a year. Last year, not one bug for either one of us!! If you are having a problem look no further then this site. Ask your question. They will lead you to the right decision!

Awesome flea product
By Cheryl on 01/22/2011

We've been using these granules for the past year and have had no recurrences of fleas. Hooray! We faithfully mow the grass before each application and have only applied once every three months, continuously throughout the year. This product works great. Highly recommend to anyone who has a flea infestation.

Goodbye springtails!
By Tony on 07/06/2010
Verified Purchase
I tried everything else, believe me, and nothing worked on those pesky little Springtails except this. I first applied the Bifen liquid in a near perimeter around my home and in my crawlspace, then treated the yard in a wider perimeter with these granules. No more Springtails at all! As a bonus, no more black ant invasions in the summer and for the first time my trees are free of those same ants. I tried many big-box-store products to no avail and began to research out of desperation. I am very glad I decided to try Bifen.

Worked wonders for us!

This stuff worked wonders for us last year. We used the Bifen granules all year to keep the fire ants away.

I have a large backyard and I cannot get to most of it with water via sprinkler and/or sprayer. I have an issue with fire ants (can’t walk barefoot in the yard) & grubs along with some really awful-looking spiders. Would it still be effective with no watering? I have pets - will leaving it unwatered affect the dogs?
Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules require water by irrigation or rainfall in order to release the active ingredient. Without watering the granules, the application will be ineffective in eliminating insects targeted on the product label. If irrigation is difficult in some areas of the lawn, you would need to apply the before at least 1/2 inch rainfall is expected or by doing individual mound drench applications to directly treat the fire ants.
For mound drench applications, apply 1/2 cup of Bifen Granules to each mound then drench each mound with 1-2 gallons of water using a bucket (not a watering can) to deliver enough force to break open the top of the mound and allow the solution to flow into and throughout the fire ant tunnels. Treat a 4ft diameter around each mound.
Also, Bifen L/P Granules are not listed to control grubs or spiders. You could consider using the liquid concentrate Bifen IT to treat fire ants, spiders, Japanese beetles(adults), and many other insects around the exterior foundation of the home including the lawn, bushes, trees, shrubs, and landscape beds. Bifen IT is mixed with 0.5 to 1 fl oz per gallon of water and applied using a handpump or backpack sprayer. View the product label for more information.
For Grubs, please view our Grub Treatment Guide for product and treatment recommendations.
My yard is Bermuda grass, and it’s spongy in places. There are holes in spots that look like “something” might have been buried there: It’s where those pests have burrowed, so it seems, after reading about the behavior.
Yes, Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules are labeled to control mole crickets
I have a 90,000 square lot that I want to treat and I can’t water the Bifenthrin in and there isn’t any rain for the next few weeks.
The Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules will last 2-4 months on the lawn so you should be fine waiting for rainfall.
Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules cannot be used for indoor plants and should only be applied around the exterior perimeter, landscape beds, and lawn areas.
Bonide Systemic Insecticide Granules is labelled for houseplants, flowers, roses and shrubs and will treat a broad list of insects. Please view the full product label for more information.
Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules is labeled to control billbugs but not its larvae.
Unfortunately, we do not have the spreader settings for that specific combo, and since the manufacturer does not list that spreader on their bag we are unsure what the exact setting would be. Due to the thousands of granules on the market and just as many different types of spreaders, there isn't a master list that exists. You may want to try calling the manufacturer of your spreader or the chemical itself directly, to see if anyone on their staff has that info. Otherwise, you will want to calibrate your spreader to the product you are using and its application rates. You can see a short video on how to accomplish this below .How to Calibrate your Spreader

Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules label states for perimeter treatment, treat around the ground area 5-10 feet wide around and adjacent to the structure.
If not, what will kill them?
Yes, Bifen LP Granules will harm earthworms and other beneficial insects that they come in contact with.
The good thing is that Bifen Granules do not leach into the soil. The bad news is that it is not labeled to be applied in a garden. Since Bifen Granules was applied with off-label use, please contact Control Solutions 281-892-2500 for the best advice on their product.
Would using Bifen LP as a perimeter treatment around my home provide adequate protection? Would I be better off using a liquid insecticide? The perimeter of my home is all non-porous landscaping with the exception of the driveway and a walkway to the front door. I also have kids and pets. Would one product be safer?
Both the liquid and granules would be fine to use in areas where kids and pets may enter after the applications have completely dried, typically after 4-6 hours. For perimeter barrier applications we typically suggest using a liquid because it is more versatile. You can spray on the ground, a band around the bottom of the house, around doors and windows and other areas where pests may try to enter the structure and then apply Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules further out in the lawn.
Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules would just applied to soil areas around the tree and lawn as directed on the label for target pests.
You may consider using Monterey Nematode Control that is labeled for home gardens & lawns
