Bifen LP Granules and Talstar PL Granules are used to control Ants (including Imported Fire Ants), roaches, spiders, fleas, ticks, worms, crickets, and almost all other insect pests on lawns, in landscaped areas and gardens, and perimeters of residential, institutional, public, commercial and industrial buildings, parks, recreational areas and athletic fields.

A normal application usually consists of three to five pounds of product. We recommend applying Bifen granules with an Earthway spreader. One 25lb. bag of Bifen covers 5,000-10,000 square feet. Always read the label.

    Bifen Granules

    By Nancy on 04/26/2010

    Verified Purchase

    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

    Verified Purchase

    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

    Verified Purchase

    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.

    By Ec on 04/18/2007

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

Sort Questions
Q
Will the Bifen Granules treat springtails in the whole lawn?

Will my lawn be safe for kids to run and play on couple days after the application?

A
Bifen Granules recently had a product label change and the new label no longer lists springtails as a target pest. We recommend Demand G Granules to control springtails and they can be used as a perimeter application or over your entire lawn. Children can safely return to the treated area after it is completely dry.

Q
Label says nothing about roaches. Does it work for the American Cockroach?
A

We are not sure why this product does not have roaches on the label, but it is the same product as Talstar PL Granules, and roaches are listed on the Talstar granule product label.

Q
Will DeltaGard G Granules kill Harvest Mite Larvae (chiggers) in my yard?

What is the appropriate schedule to apply the treatment to kill chiggers? Also I have a raised ornamental fish pond which is on a patio about 6 feet away from the lawn. Would Bifen Granules be safe for my fish if the granules do not come in contact with the water?

A
Bifen granules are not labeled to treat chiggers. The only granule we carry that has chiggers on the label is DeltaGard G Granules.  DeltaGard G Granules come in a 20 lb bag and treatment for chiggers requires 2-3lbs per 1000 square feet.  However, any type of insecticide, liquid or granule, is very toxic to fish.  We would not recommend applying any type of product near a fish pond.  Even run off from the surface where you apply a product can be extremely deadly to fish.

Q
Will Bifen Granules get rid of millipedes?
A
Yes, Bifen Granules are labeled for millipedes as well as many other insects that are in your yard.  For millipedes you can spread 2.3 - 4.6 lbs per 1000 square feet.  For full instructions and a list of all the insects that the granules treat, you can read the product label.

Q
I believe I have springtails in my home. They are very small, pale or black. How can I get rid of spring tails?

Tried to kill the bugs. They are around almost all of the windows in my home. I also find them on the air conditioners. Several websites mention Bifen granules to kill them. Is there an effective spray that I can use to kill them? It must be something strong. I have already tried bleach and some pest control sprays that I found at Home Depot. Please let me know if you can help.

A

Spring tails can be tough to eliminate because they reproduce very quickly. In almost every case where people have spring tails, they also have a moisture problem such as a leaking or sweating pipe, poor ventilation in their crawl space, lots of wet mulch right up next to their house, etc. You must locate and correct the moisture problem to get rid of the spring tails, insecticides alone will not do the job. We do carry Bifen L/P granules and Bifen IT liquid, both of which can help you to reduce the numbers of springtails.

Q
Can Bifen L/P granules be used to control mosquitoes and mosquito larvae?
A

No, Bifen LP would not be effective for mosquito control. The adult mosquitoes actually hang out in trees and bushes and the larva develop in standing water. Bifen LP granules can only be used to treat lawns and soil for insect infestation. You can use Bifen IT which is the liquid formulation of Bifen to treat for adult mosquitoes. Mosquito larva can be eliminated with BTI Mosquito Dunks which can be placed directly into water sources such as ponds, unused pools and other areas of standing water.

Q
Can I broadcast Bifen Granules in a garden to control fire ants without affecting the produce?

Fire ants destroyed our potato crop last year, and I'm looking for products to keep ants out of the garden.

A
You cannot use Bifen granules in a vegetable garden. You can place Bifen granules around the outside of the garden to ward off crawling insects. You can also use Extinguish Plus Fire Ant Bait around the outside of the vegetable garden to help control the fire ants.

Q
Will Bifen Granules also kill spiders or do I need the Spider Kit you sell?

I am wanting to keep all of the pesky bugs out of the house. Do I have to buy both the Bifen Granules and the Spider Kit or will just the Bifen Granules do the trick?

A
Bifen granules are not labeled for spider control. This could be because the manufacturer did not test the product for this particular pest or they did test it and did not find the Bifen Granules to be very effective for spiders. The Spider Control Kit was put together for people who want to treat indoors and outdoors, the glueboards in the kit can be used in closets, under the sink or in other areas where spiders may harbor and they will help you monitor any infestation. If you only want to treat outdoors for spiders you can purchase the Cyper WP separately instead of purchasing the kit.

Q
Can I use Bifen Granules if I have a dug well?

My drinking water comes from a dug well and I would like to know if it is safe to use the Bifen Granules

A
The product label for Bifen Granules does not say anything about use near a well, but we would suggest not applying granules within 20 feet of the well just to be safe.  Also, if your land slopes towards the well you should not apply granules on the slope in case a hard rain causes the granules to move with the water towards the well.

Q
Are Bifen Granules safe to use in a basement (dirt floor) and crawl space? Concerned about toxic vapors.
A
Bifen Granules would not be recommended for any type of indoor use because the granules must be watered in, something that could not or should not be done in a basement. You can use something like Bifen IT to spray indoors on a dirt floor in a basement or in a crawl space. It does not need to be watered in. Bifen IT is very safe to use indoors when used as directed on the product label.

Q
Can Bifen control Ghost Ants in my yard and vegetation area?

I have Ghost ants problem in my yard and they enter the house through weep holes. Can Bifen L/P eliminate these ants from my vegetation and stop entering the house? Can I use a hand spreader? What product can I spray on vegetation plants so that ghost ants/Sugar ants do not walk on these plants? Thanks

A
Bifen cannot be applied to a garden area under any circumstances.  It is a great product to apply in the yard and can be applied using any hand or push spreader, but it would have to be applied more than 10 feet away from any garden area.  For keeping ants out of a garden area, the only product labeled for this use would be a garden specific product such as our Fertilome Liquid Garden Spray which would help deter the ants from walking on your plants.

Q
What type of granule is the Bifen LP?

Is it the larger granules for use in a lawn spreader of more of the sandy granules?

Bifen LP is the finer sandy granule. Talstar EZ contains the same active ingredient as Bifen LP but is the larger granule that you are looking to use in your lawn spreader.

Q
What number do I use for a Scotts Speedy Green rotary spreader for application of Bifen Granules?
A

We don't have the exact spreader setting for your model spreader. The easiest way to determine the correct setting to apply Bifen Granules is as follows:

If you need to use 3lbs of product per 1,000 sq ft you would add 3 lb of product to spreader, start with a medium setting, then apply product to a 20 x 50 ft area (1,000 sq ft).  If you have product left, your setting is too low.  If you run out of product, your setting is too high

Q
Would this product help me control chinch bugs or brown patch?
A
Bifen LP will help control chinch bugs when it is put down during their season. Bifen LP does not control brown patch as brown patch is a fungus. You can see our full listing of fungicides for brown patch here: Brown Patch Products.
