Since your specific spreader is not included on the label for Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules, you will need to calibrate your spreader. You can view our helpful instructional video on How to Calibrate a Lawn Spreader by clicking here.
Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules are applied using a lawn spreader to dry turf then immediately watered in with atleast 0.5 to 1 inch of rainfall or irrigation. Once the granules have disolved into the soil, it is safe for childen, pets and wildlife that may enter the treated area. This product could be a hazard to birds if the dry granule is swallowed but once they are watered any risk would not be an issue.
While the Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules is a great product for armyworms, you will not get a lot of coverage from it. However, the liquid version Bifen IT would be a great alternative for armyworm control and would also cover more area.
For low or general maintenance applications, Bifen IT is applied at 0.18 - 0.25 fluid oz in 1 gallon of water per 1000 sq. ft (8 fl oz to 11 fl oz in 44 gallons of water per acre).
For severe/higher populations or when grass is taller than 1 inch, apply Bifen IT at 1 fl oz in 1-2 gallons of water per 1000 sq ft (44 fl oz in 44 to 88 gallons of water per acre).
Please view the product label for more information.
Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules does include armyworms as a target pest on the label. Application rate of 1.15 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft.

Unfortunately we do not have the spreader settings for that specific combo and the manufacturer does not list that spreader on their bag. Due to the thousands of granules on the market and just as many different types of spreaders, you will want to calibrate your spreader to the product you are using and its application rates.
Please view our How to Calibrate your Spreader Video for step by step instructions.
Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules or Arena 0.25 G Insecticide are both great options as granule products for chinch bugs.
Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules should be applied once every 2-4 months.
No, neither Bifen IT nor Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules are labeled to kill nematodes and has not been tested for this use.
Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules are not labeled for control of roaches or stink bugs. Roaches are difficult to kill with lawn granules because they are larger insects and often travel on the top of treated areas where they would not contact a product that has been watered into the ground. For stink bugs, we recommend using a residual insecticide spray such as Bifen IT applied to the structure in late summer and fall to prevent this overwintering pest from entering your home.
We have detailed Treatment and Prevention Guides for both of these insects:

Stink Bug Prevention Guide
Due to how many thousands of different spreader types and granulated products there are on the market, there are no master lists that allow us to know the spreader settings for each individual spreader and product used. The best thing to do to make sure you get the results you need from the product is to place the amount for 1000 sq/ft into your spreader and choose a setting somewhere in the middle or a notch or two below that. Walk a 1000 sq/ft area and note how much is being dispersed as you go. If you find the product is being put out too quickly and you feel you will run out before you cover the whole area, you can move the setting to a smaller option. If the opposite is happening and you find you have lots of product still in your spreader after you've covered 1000 sq/ft, you can move the setting up to release more product at a time. We also have a handy video showing how to calibrate your spreader for the product you use that you can see here.
