    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.

    Do Bifenthrin Granules help with German roaches?
    A
    Bifenthrin granules can help stop German roaches that are outside from reaching your home. The granules will not help with an existing roach infestation. We recommend you use our Roach Control Kit #2 if you have an existing roach infestation indoors.

    A

    Yes, Bifen IT is labeled for grasshoppers. The mixing ratio is 1 fl. oz. per gallon of water.

  • Asked by Joy from Raleigh, Nc
    06/28/2013
    Q
    To kill and control ants, should I put the ant bait stations down first?
    Or do the granules go down first or should I put them down at the same time?
    A
    We would not recommend applying Bifen Granules in the locations where you are setting the bait stations. This may interfere with the bait attractants Please find our article " Advantages of Ant Bait" for more information. Now if you are using a bait station that is not on the ground like Ant NO More, you can apply Bifen near the stations and you would want to apply the granular first.

    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.

    Q
    Will Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules kill fire ants?
    A

    Yes, Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules is labeled to control fire ants. According to the product label, the best control will be achieved by using broadcast treatments in combination with mound drenches. It is critical to water before treatments if the soil is dry. Apply up to 0.4 lb AI/A when making broadcast applications. When treating mounds apply ½ a cup of granules per mound and drench the mound with 1-2 gallons of water. A four-foot diameter around the mound should also be treated.

    Q
    What setting should I use for Bifen L/P with the Wizz Scott's spreader?
    A

    We apologize, but we don't have the exact spreader setting for your model spreader. The easiest way to determine the correct setting to apply Bifen Granules is as follows:

    If you need to use 3lbs 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.

    10/26/2021
    Q
    If the Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules is activated by rain or irrigation, why does the label say don't apply in rain?
    A

    Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules should not be applied during rain as the granules will start to break down/begin to work and be active when contacted with water.  While applying you do not want the granules to get wet and possibly clump in your spreader

  • Asked by Otis from Thomson, Ga
    02/14/2018
    Q
    Will Bifen Granules work as a bait too?
    Does it work to kill insects on top of the ground or can it be used to kill and maintain fire ant hills? The queen stays near bottom of the hill so it would need to be carried by the worker ant to the queen.
    A

    Bifen Granules are an insecticide granule that kills insects on contact: it is not a bait. Bifen Granules can be used as a drench on fire ant mounds. In this treatment, you are relying on the water to break down the granule and carry the active ingredient deeper into the soil. We outline both insecticide and bait treatments for fire ants in our Guide online here.

    Q
    I spread fire ant granules with Bifenthrin near a tomato plant. Is it safe to eat the tomatoes from the plant?
    A

    The good thing is that Bifen Granules does not leach into the soil. The bad news is that it is not labeled to be applied in a garden. Since Bifen Granules was applied with off label use, please contact Control Solutions 281-892-2500 for the best advise on their product.

  • Asked by Tetesa from Yuma, Az
    01/17/2020
    Q
    Does Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules kill or only repel?
    If it kills, is it carried back to the insect nest? Does it kill and/or affect eggs and larvae?
    A

    Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules would be considered a repellent as far as social insects, such as ants, are concerned. This is because the product kills insects quickly which come in contact with treated areas, as opposed to the slower action in non-repellent products which allow the active ingredient time to transfer among social insects. This product is not specifically labeled to kill eggs but will affect the larvae of labeled pests.
