    Q
    If it can be absorbed through the skin, can it be absorbed in the dog's paws?
    Do you have any information as to whether this can be absorbed into soft dog pads if dogs spend a couple of hours a day on treated areas? Should I wash dog pads when they come back inside? Thanks
    A

    Q
    I have 2.44 acres. What is your recommendation for fleas, fire ants, and flies?
    We breed dogs and they have access to the entire 2.44 acres. But mostly only to 3/4 of an acre fenced in specifically for them. Fire ants are an issue throughout the property.
    A

    Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules can help with general pest control but you can use Talstar P to mound drench for fire ants and treat for fleas and flies as well as many other pests. If the fire ants are actively looking for food then you can use Extinguish Plus Fire Ant Bait, which can be used in areas where companion animals are active. For flies, we also recommend using a trap like Flies Be Gone and/or Fly Bait in fly bait stations. We have a guide for Fly Control, Flea Control as well as Fire Ant Control. We recommend keeping your pets out of the area while you make any application and let them all completely dry before you let them back outside.

    Q
    What is the granular size for Bifen LP? Trying to match up to calibrate my LESCO spreader
    A

    The SDS sheet does not have the size of the granular. We would recommend reaching out to the manufacturer Control Solutions: 281.892.2500. Due to the thousands of granules on the market and just as many different types of spreaders, there isn't a master list that exists. You may want to try calling the manufacturer of your spreader or the chemical itself directly, to see if anyone on their staff has that info. Otherwise, you will want to calibrate your spreader to the product you are using and its application rates. You can see a short video on how to accomplish this below.

    Q
    Scotts drop spreader...
    Whats the settings for Scotts drop spreader? does it kill midges or noseeums?
    A

    Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules is not labeled for noseeums, gnats, or any other kind of flying insect. You would need to purchase the liquid version, Bifen IT, to control them.
     
    Unfortunately, we do not have the spreader settings for that specific combo, and since the manufacturer does not list that spreader on their bag we are unsure what the exact setting would be. Due to the thousands of granules on the market and just as many different types of spreaders, there isn't a master list that exists. You may want to try calling the manufacturer of your spreader or the chemical itself directly, to see if anyone on their staff has that info.

    Q
    Recommend for Springtails?
    I'm seeing some conflicting answers regarding what would currently be the best granule to use to treat Springtails. Bifen? Demand G? Also, what spray insecticide would work best in conjunction with your recommended granule?
    A

    Between Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules and Demand G Granules, we would recommend Demand G because it is labeled to help control springtails. Springtails are an indication of a moisture issue, so their abundance means there is a moisture problem that needs correcting. You will not be able to reduce the numbers of this pest successfully until you have addressed and corrected the moisture issue that is allowing them to flourish. We recommend reading over our Springtail Control Guide for more tips and information that may fit your needs.

    Q
    Will Bifen LP help to control...
    Live in Florida near the beach- the no-see-ums are relentless and make it difficult to be outside certain times of the day. Thx
    A

    Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules are not going to be labeled for any sort of flying insects. No-see-ums are considered gnats on the labels. You may consider using Bifen IT instead.

  • Asked by Cameron from Charlotte Nc
    07/17/2023
    Q
    Can Bifen IT be used in a fogger application for Mosquitos?
    A

    Bifen L/P granules need to be applied to the ground via a spreader designed for granule distribution on the ground at a set spreader setting rate. Bifen I/T concenteate spray cannot be used in any type of cold ULV or propane/thermal fogger device. It can however be used in hand pump and backpack tank sprayers, including ones such as the Stihl Mist Blowers or the Maruyama Mist Blower we carry for example.

  • Asked by James from Burnet Texas
    07/17/2023
    Q
    What would I use for year-long results for fire ants?
    A

    No insecticide or fire ant bait will provide year-long control of fire ants. Treatments should begin at the first sign of fire ants and continue throughout high-activity months. 
     
    Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules will control fire ants for 30 days. The longest residual insecticide granule for fire ants is Talstar XTRA which has a residual of 2-3 months. These products can be applied a mound applications or broadcast over the lawn.  
     
    Baiting for fire ants is only effective when they are foraging (looking for food). If they are not foraging for food, baiting will not be successful. 
     
    Please review our Fire Ant Treatment Guide and Fire Ant Prevention Guide for more information.

    We have a springtail infestation, but have 2 dogs. What steps regarding the application can I follow to be safe?
    A

    Bifen Granules should be broadcast in the lawn and then watered in and dried before the dogs return to the treated areas. Once the area is completely dried it will be pet-safe.

  • Asked by Richard
    03/26/2024
    Q
    Can Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules be used as only product for perimeter treatment?
    Would using Bifen LP as a perimeter treatment around my home provide adequate protection? Would I be better off using a liquid insecticide? The perimeter of my home is all non-porous landscaping with the exception of the driveway and a walkway to the front door. I also have kids and pets. Would one product be safer?
    A

    Both the liquid and granules would be fine to use in areas where kids and pets may enter after the applications have completely dried, typically after 4-6 hours. For perimeter barrier applications we typically suggest using a liquid because it is more versatile. You can spray on the ground, a band around the bottom of the house, around doors and windows and other areas where pests may try to enter the structure and then apply Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules further out in the lawn.
