    Q
    What setting should I use for the Earthway 2750 hand spreader to apply Bifen Granules?
    A

    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

    Q
    How effective are Bifen Granules with ticks?
    I live in NH and tick population and lyme disease is significant.

    Bifen Granules are an excellent option for ticks in your lawn. You will broadcast them across the lawn and water the product in once it has been applied. This will last approximately 2-3 months in the soil.

    Q
    Do Bifen Granules kill American/Oriental roaches?
    A

    We are not sure why Bifen Granules 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. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article on How to Get Rid of Roaches for a successful roach control program. We do carry Roach Control Kits.

  • Asked by Linda from Whispering Pines, Nc
    08/07/2018
    Q
    How often should I treat yard for fleas with Bifen L/P?
    Bought this product from you and treated 2 times 14 days apart. Worked great. Fleas are coming from neighbors infested yard so will they avoid our treated yard or should we continue to use to avoid having them again?
    A

    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.

  • Asked by Ashlee from Argyle, Texas
    09/20/2018
    Q
    We are using Bifen Granules to kill armyworms, will it kill them? How soon will it work?
    We followed the directions for treating our lawn with Bifen granules following a notable infestation and movement of armyworms across our property. It's been 12 hours since the product was watered in, and we are not seeing any improvement. The armyworms are just as active and just as plentiful. Is it possible the product was bad?
    A

    Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules are labeled for armyworms and will do a great job controlling this pest. When treating for armyworms to ensure optimum control, irrigate the treated area with up to 0.1 inches of water immediately after application to activate (release from the granule) the insecticide. This product is not one that will kill the listed pests on contact.  It will take time. There are several factors like the severity of an infestation that will play a part in how long it takes to gain complete control. It could possibly take a few weeks for full control. The product will leave a residual that lasts in the soil for 2-3 months.

  • Asked by Martin from Jacksonville, Fl
    07/06/2015
    Q
    I am currently treating for roaches. Do I need additional products besides Bifen Granules?
    I am currently treating inside my home with fumigation. Bifen Granules are being used around the perimeter of my home, but we still have lot of roaches inside the home, even after I have fumigated. Do I need to open every electrical outlet and put powder pesticide inside?
    A

    We recommend to continue using the Bifen L/P Granules for outdoors to protect your lawn from a broad range of insects. We do recommend treating in your wall voids and behind your outlets with an insecticide dust that will leave a long residual such as Delta Dust. It is water resistant and will last up to 7 months. To do a complete treatment we recommend our Roach Control Kit Rotation A. This kit comes with several products that should be used together to eliminate roach infestations.

    If you have any other question in regards to roach control, please review Cockroach Treatment Guide

  • Asked by Joel from Howland, Me
    05/22/2018
    Q
    Is Bifen harmful to bees?
    A

    Bifen Granules should not affect the bees as long as they do not land on the soil/areas treated with it.  Though it is a non-selective insecticide which means that any insect that is contacted with the insecticide will be killed. You can help limit this effect by only applying the product when bees are not currently visiting the area that needs to be treated.

    Q
    Ground covers, mulch and barks
    Hi there, can I sprinkle these granules on ground covers, mulch or barks? Do they have to be applied when it's dry or can I apply them when when it's wet out too? I have problems with springtail outside of my home but they are making their ways into my home thru the cracks!
    A
    Using a 25 lb. bag covers 5,000-10,000 square feet. You can use them as a broadcast or a perimeter treatment directly around the structrue of the home. It is recommended that you water the granules in after application. When treating for springtails, moisture is the biggest contributor. If you can remove the moisture, the springtail population will go down. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

  • Asked by Brian from Kc, Mo
    07/21/2017
    Q
    Can Bifen LP Granules be dissolved in a sprayer and applied in that fashion?
    A

    Bifen Granules should never be applied through any sprayer of any sort. This is a granule that should be applied with a spreader only and once applied to the yard watered in by sprinkler or irrigation or light rain to activate it. These are granules that are designed to break down slowly over time and last over a period of 2-3 months dependent on weather over that time frame. If you wish to spray an insecticde on your lawn you should use Bifen I/T which is a liquid concentrate product forumlated for that use.

    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.
