    Q
    Can Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules be used to treat 5 acres of land that are overrun by armyworms? If so, what is the application rate?
    A

    While the Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules is a great product for armyworms, you will not get a lot of coverage from it. However, the liquid version Bifen IT would be a great alternative for armyworm control and would also cover more area.

    For low or general maintenance applications, Bifen IT is applied at 0.18 - 0.25 fluid oz in 1 gallon of water per 1000 sq. ft (8 fl oz to 11 fl oz in 44 gallons of water per acre).

    For severe/higher populations or when grass is taller than 1 inch, apply Bifen IT at 1 fl oz in 1-2 gallons of water per 1000 sq ft (44 fl oz in 44 to 88 gallons of water per acre). 

    Please view the product label for more information.

    Q
    is Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules safe for birds if they eat the granules thinking it's food?
    A

    Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules are applied using a lawn spreader to dry turf then immediately watered in with atleast 0.5 to 1 inch of rainfall or irrigation. Once the granules have disolved into the soil, it is safe for childen, pets and wildlife that may enter the treated area. This product could be a hazard to birds if the dry granule is swallowed but once they are watered any risk would not be an issue.

    Q
    Will this product kill cicada killer wasps?
    Annual arrivals of cicada killer hornets, going on five years now has tripled.
    A
    For preventative control, applying the Bifen Granules now will treat before the Cicada Killers start burrowing into the ground and help reduce the population. Once they have started to burrow and make holes in the ground, then you can apply the Tempo 1% Dust. Also, the Bifen LP Granules would not yield immediate results, but stop them from returning the following year.

    Q
    Can this be used for cicada killers
    We have had theses for 6-7 years and have been treated by an exterminator to no avail. They are swarming outside our back doors and there are T least 60 holes and counting. Hate killing them, but
    A
    Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules is not labeled to control cicada killers. Cicada Killer wasps thrive in disturbed environments, such as landscaped yards and places where bare soil is exposed. You can discourage the wasps from nesting in your yard by cutting your grass on the highest setting and by adding a thick layer of mulch to flower beds during the Cicada Killer Wasp season. These wasps do not like over saturated lawns either, so over watering during their season will help prevent them. Unfortunately, there is no fool proof way to prevent cicada killer wasps.For prevention you can try to use Bifen LP Granules in the couple of weeks before this pest is known to emerge, but there are no guarantees that this would be successful. For current infestations, you would need to use Delta dust in each individual burrow.

     
    We also like to let our customers know that the Cicada Killer wasps are beneficial insects that provide free pest control for a couple of months each year. Cicada killer wasps paralyze and provision their burrows with other insects to feed their young.  The beneficial Cicada killer wasps, while large and intimidating to see, are mostly harmless and there have been very few reports of anyone getting stung by just being near them. In most cases where a sting was reported, the wasps were being held or molested in some way. Cicada Killer Wasp stings are also reported to be almost painless.

    Q
    I have spiders in blue spruce trees and they are dying from the inside out, what should I use?
    A

    Talstar works well for both the mature and the immature spider mites. It provides optimal spider mite control when applied during spring to mid-summer. Higher application rates and/or more frequent treatments may be required for acceptable spider mite control during mid to late-summer. The addition of a surfactant or horticultural oil may increase the effectiveness of Talstar. Talstar applications may be rotated with other products that have different modes of action in control programs that are designed to manage resistance by two-spotted spider mites.  Avid 0.15 Miticide is another product that can be used for spider mites.  Mix with water and apply as a foliar spray to obtain uniform coverage. For mites, apply when mites first appear and repeat as necessary to maintain control.  Consult your local Cooperative Extension Service for resistance management recommendations in your region.

    Q
    Drop spreader setting
    I have an older/metal Scott drop spreader. Any suggestions on the settings to drop this product?
    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. We have a calibration video here or you can consult with the manufacturer of the spreader for details on the setting.
