    Q
    Are Bifen Granules safe to use in a basement (dirt floor) and crawl space? Concerned about toxic vapors.
    A
    Bifen Granules would not be recommended for any type of indoor use because the granules must be watered in, something that could not or should not be done in a basement. You can use something like Bifen IT to spray indoors on a dirt floor in a basement or in a crawl space. It does not need to be watered in. Bifen IT is very safe to use indoors when used as directed on the product label.

    Q
    Would this product help me control chinch bugs or brown patch?

    Bifen LP will help control chinch bugs when it is put down during their season. Bifen LP does not control brown patch as brown patch is a fungus. You can see our full listing of fungicides for brown patch here: Brown Patch Products.

    Q
    Scotts Edgeguard Mini Spreader- what setting do I use?
    A

    We don't have the exact spreader setting for your model spreader. The easiest way to determine the correct setting for you needs is outlined below:

    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 Robert from Wilmingtons, Nc

    Q
    Is Bifen effective against ground pearl? In what form?
    A
    As far as we know there are no known insecticides that will work on Ground Pearl. Ground Pearl is a type of hearty armored scale, and other than natural enemies like ants, no true solution is available. The best solution to try is to reduce plant stress by following recommended fertility and irrigation recommendations to enable turfgrass tolerate the damage. You may also want to contact your local Cooperative Extension office to see if they have any recommendations.

  • Asked by Bret from Frederick Maryland
    05/07/2013
    Q
    Do Bifen Granules kill the gnats that fly around your face?
    A
    First you want to make sure to eliminate as much moisture in the area as possible. Bifen Granules are not specifically labeled for gnats. This does not mean it will not kill them. We recommend using a liquid concentrate like Talstar P . Talstar can be applied to trees, shrubs, lawns, indoors and in areas containing moisture.

    Q
    Bifen was spread accidently at base of our avocado trees. What are long term effects?
    Can we consume the fruit from the avocado trees? Do we need to replace the mint it was also sprinkled on or leave as is?
    A
    Please contact Control Solutions, the manufacturer, to go over exactly how much was used in these areas and what harmful effects could potentially come from exposure to edible vegetation. They will be experts on their own product and can better answer what to do and how long before the avocado trees can be harvested. You can reach Control solutions at 1-281-892-2500.

  • Asked by Micheal from Birmingham, Al
    07/13/2013
    Q
    Can the Bifen Granules be used for black widows?
    A
    The Bifen Granules are not labeled for black widows or spider control in general and would not work for your needs. To control black widows or any other spider, you have to not only treat with the appropriate chemicals, like Cyper WP which comes in our Spider Control Kit, but also take the non-chemical steps of eliminating areas around the home that would be perfect living conditions for the spiders. You can see in our article How To Get Rid Of Black Widow Spiders, just what steps to take and where to look and treat to eliminate them from your environment. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Asked by Karen from Palm Coast, Fl
    09/01/2014
    Q
    Lawn guy says I have some sort of centipede / millipede, that they'll go away by themselves, eventually. Will Bifen kill these things?
    I hear it's because of all the rain and heat we've had. Will Bifen kill these things? They're everywhere! Around the pool, in the pool, in the grass, down the driveway
    A

    Bifen L/P Granules are easy to spread and will protect your lawn from millipedes and other pests for 2 to 3 months. Bifen IT is a great residual liquid formulation that is added to water and applied with a low-pressure sprayer can provide a powerful residual that continues working for 4 to 8 weeks following application. This residual liquid formulation can be sprayed along the outside perimeter of the home (especially under and around eaves, decks, patios, and window shutters), and inside along baseboards, in cracks and crevices, and other potential millipede harborages. You will know the residual is working because you will begin finding only dead millipedes rather than live ones. A lot of moisture are great thriving areas they prefer. Please find an article that you find helpful treating this insect in around your lawn.

    Q
    Do the Bifen L/P and Talstar PL granules have the same active ingredient? Why can I not have the Bifen L/P shipped to HI?
    A

    Bifen L/P granules and Talstar PL granules contain the same active ingredient, bifenthrin. There are restrictions for certain states for each product based on a state law or manufacturer registration. We can ship the Talstar PL Granules to your state. They will last approximately 2-4 months once applied and watered in (which can be done prior to rainfall). Please refer to the product label for complete application instructions for the insect(s) you are targeting.

    Q
    Do the Bifen Granules work on springtails hiding in small red rocks I have next to my home?
    Does this work on top of red rocks I have next to my home? I spread 2 bags of this over a week ago all over small red rocks around my home and grass and absolutely no results on springtails they continue to appear later on in the day everywhere in crazy numbers.
    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. Children can safely return to the treated area after it is completely dry.

    Q
    What are the precautions for using Bifen Granules when you have a well?
    I don't see this information on the label.
    A

    The product label for Bifen Granules does not list any precautions for use on property with a well, but we would suggest not applying within 20 feet of the well just to be safe.  Also, if your land slopes towards the well you should not apply granules on the slope in case a hard rain causes the granules to move with the runoff towards the well.

    Q
    Will Bifen Granules control and kill flying beetles?
    A

    Bifen Granules are not used for flying insects including flying beetles. Most flying insects may not touch areas treated. We would recommend the liquid, Bifen IT. It is mixed at 1 fl oz per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft. Please refer to the product label for complete mixing and application instructions. This will offer some control if applied to the trees, bushes and grass.
