    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.

    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
    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.

  • Asked by Dale from Roseboro, Nc

    Q
    I read an article that Bifen is effective in controlling ground pearls. Does It?
    I have a full yard infestation...centipede dying. Just want to stop. Everything I've read says there is NO way to stop it. Thanks
    A
    Bifen IT is not actually labeled to treat for ground pearls so we cannot comment on this use.  Research shows that there are currently no known controls for ground pearls. The only management strategy is to try to keep the grass as healthy as you can. This includes proper watering and fertilization, and also control of other pests, which Bifen will do a great job at. This usually slows the spread of the problem, but will not stop it completely.

  • Asked by Sheila from Pearce, Arizona
    07/27/2014
    Q
    What is the toxicity of the Bifen Granules to snakes and lizards?
    A
    As long as the lizards and snakes are out of the area while you are doing the actual application of the Bifen Granules, it shouldn't effect them. You will most likely see a reduction in the  lizard populations on your property though as you will be eliminating their food source (insects). We do carry Snake Out. It is a specially formulated dust that uses natural ingredients to effectively repel snakes near living areas. The product poses no threat to children or pets, and yet contains active ingredients that snakes find unpleasant.

    Q
    Does using Bifen with other products a pest control uses on my lawn counteract their treatment?
    I have a service come every couple of months and they have concerns that my treating will make their treatments null because I'm using Bifen.
    A
    We need more information in order to answer your question. Do you know what the product your services uses? That would be the best way to determine if it will counteract with Bifen Granules.

    Q
    Do Bifen Granules kill wolf spiders?
    A
    No, Bifen Granules are not labeled for any type of spiders. We would recommend using Onslaught FastCap Spider and Scorpion Insecticide. It is labeled for various types of spiders, as well as other pests. You will need to spray in the areas where the spiders are. They need to come in contact with the product in order for the spiders to die. This can be used indoors and outdoors.

    Q
    Will Bifen L/P kill gnats?
    I am having a wedding in September and looking for something to control sand gnats.
    A

    Bifen Granules would not be a good choice to treat for this pest. Talstar P will offer some control if applied to the trees, bushes and grass a few days before the wedding to lower the gnat population in the area. The morning of the wedding you may want to try to use a pyrethrin based product such as Riptide in a mist blower over the whole area which will kill anything that is flying around and help repel the gnats from the area for several hours.
