    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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Do Bifenthrin Granules help with German roaches?

  • Asked by Ram from Manvel, Tx

    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.

    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.

  • Asked by Dj from Fayetteville, Ar
    08/03/2018
    Q
    Is there a difference in Bifen L/P and Talstar PL?
    A

    Both Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules and Talstar PL Granules contain the exact same active ingredient, which is Bifenthrin 0.2%. Neither are 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
    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 Stephanie from Cleveland, Oh
    07/19/2018
    Q
    To get rid of springtails in an area of 1500 sq.ft., how many lbs of Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules should I use?
    A

     

    Bifen Granules recently had a product label change and the new label no longer lists springtails as a target pest. We recommend Demand G Granules to control springtails and they can be used as a perimeter application or over your entire lawn. You can spread the granules in a 5 ft - 10 ft band in the soil/grass around the perimeter of your home. You will want to use 2-3 lbs per 1,000 sq ft  for best results.
