Yes, Bifen Granules can be applied at the same time as fertilizers. You want to be sure the spreader settings for the fertilizer and the Bifen Granules are the same to ensure proper application.
Bifen granules will not kill your lawn, however, we do not recommend applying more than the product label states. This can be hazardous to your health, and could potentially adversely effect the eradication of the targeted insect. Bifen Granules are safe for use on yards where children and pets will walk as long as you follow the product label. Be sure that both children and pets are out of the area during the application and until the treated area is dry. When applied as directed, there is only enough active ingredient to harm small insects. We would ecommend that you contact Control Solutions, the manufacturer, at 281-892-2500 and your veterinarian for further assistance.
Bifen Granules should not be used around ponds. Run off from the surface where you apply a product can be extremely deadly to fish. Bifen Granules are not labeled for use in poultry areas, so we would not suggest it for this use. Regarding other animals, you would need to keep animals out of the treatment area until the granules have been watered in and the application is dry. You could, however, use Bifen IT liquid insecticide, which is labeled for use in poultry houses. You should keep any animals out of the treatment area until the application is dry.

We don't have the exact spreader setting to apply Bifen Granules with your model spreader. The easiest way to determine the correct setting for your needs is outlined below:
Ex: If you need to use 3 lbs 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
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. Please refer to our How To Get Rid Of Springtails article to see proper treatment methods for the pest and where to look for sources of the nesting site.
Yes, Bifen Granules will treat ground pearls. You would use at a rate of 2 lbs for every 1000 sq/ft, and retreat once a month for 3 months. Before you treat, please be aware that it is important to know that one of the more common traits with ground pearls is they seem to like soil with low PH levels. We would recommend that you have your soil tested to see what the PH levels are, and get that corrected first and then treat with the Bifen Granules.
Once you have watered in the Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules and the treated areas have had to time to dry completely, rainfall and regular watering should not reduce the effectiveness of the product. In situations with frequent rainfall or frequent watering, you can reapply the product after 2 months.
We recommend using Bifen Granules within 3 years of purchase. Unused product should always be stored in a dry place out of direct sunlight and sealed as airtight as possible.
Bifen Granules is not a systemic so will not be absorbed but is also not labeled to be used around edibles. Applications should be kept outside the dripline of the Pecan trees.
Because granules can last longer than a liquid residual, we don't recommend reapplying Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules sooner than 30 days.Granules wouldn't be the best option because the granules will usually sink below the thatch layer. When treating for fleas, it's better to use a liquid insecticide, you can use Bifen IT. With Bifen IT, when treating for active fleas, you can re-treat every 14 days. A liquid insecticide is better because the residual will be in the soil, thatch and grass blades as well, offering a better residual. Once you have it under control, you can continue to treat every 30 days, especially if those around you are not doing anything to control the flea activity. Take a look at our Flea Prevention Guide, Step 3, for more tips for Outdoor Yard Flea Prevention.
Yes, you can absolutely use the Bifen LP Granules on your rock landscaping for further control. Water it in with roughly 1/2 rainfall equivalent and it will slowly break down over about 2 months or so to give continuous insect control. Many customers do the same thing you are with spraying around the foundation as it gives you the ability to get vertical surface treatment and any bushes that may be around as well as long term protection further out with the granules.
