    Is there anything I can do to get rid of Bifen Granules accidentally applied on my vegetable garden?

    Q
    Which would be better to use on Sod worms, Bifen liquid or granules?

    Both Bifen IT and Bifen Granules work great for Sod Webworms. In fact, you could use both. Apply the Granules over the yard and use the Bifen IT to apply to the perimeter of your home and non edible vegetation.

  • Asked by Pam from Jacksonville, Fl
    06/02/2017
    Q
    What setting would be needed for Bifen granules using a Scotts EZ 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

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Asked by Frankie from Lumberton, Nc 28358
    11/17/2020
    Q
    Will Bifen help get rid of the insect that attracts the moles that are destroying my yard
    Moles are destroying my yard, this is the first year of 25 that this has happened. Tried mole granules, pellets, poison worms, sensor stakes, nothing works.
    A

    Bifen granules can be used for eliminating a variety of insects in a lawn, however it would have no effect on moles currently in your yard. When treating for an animal you must treat for the animal directly, not indirectly. You would want to look over our Mole Control Guide and see what the options are for mole treatments to find the one that best suits your needs. There are step by step instructions and pro tips to help you get the most from your treatments. You can use poisons, traps, gassers, and in some instances repellents although that would be used more so after a problem had already been eliminated from the yard. Poisons worms like Talpirid are the most effective, however if you do not follow the instructions strictly and test the runs for multiple days before placing the worms in the designated areas you will fail every time. If you need assistance on how to place baits to have them work for your needs feel free to give us a call and we can go over the application with you and make sure you are not doing anything that could be working against your treatment.

    Q
    Label says nothing about roaches. Does it work for the American Cockroach?
    A

    We are not sure why this product does not have roaches on the label, but it is the same product as Talstar PL Granules, and roaches are listed on the Talstar granule product label.
