    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
    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
    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
    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.

    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.
