Put down mulch in new flower garden, came with an outbreak of millipedes. Crawling all over the home, and inside were creeping in. The perimeter treatments didn't work, had a pest guy charge me $50 for some saw dust looking abatement, 4 weeks later no response.... Put down Bifen, in 2 weeks GONE. Now 4 weeks still no signs, put down another treatment and all clear. Treated mulch area, raked to mix in, and all around the property.

I had a millipede infestation in my basement. Had pest control come out twice and it did nothing. Bought this stuff and spread it on my lawn and mulch before a rain. Problem solved.

Much better product than Home Depot or Lowe's. I live in Florida we have a lot of bugs this product works I've been using it for years.

I was expecting GRANULES not SAND type product which I got...which is harder to spread with a regular spreader without TOO MUCH WASTE.

Received what I ordered quickly. This product treats the area all around my house. Very easy to put down with a handheld spreader. It is fine granules so I use the smallest opening on the spreader and it works fine. Put it down just before a light rain to activate. Results are great. Bugs lying on their back in the mulch afterward. Takes care of business. Lasts about 3 months.

I had a big issue with millipedes and the product worked well. It killed pretty much all of them. I had millipedes everywhere on my property. I hope to use the product again next year as it seems like the millipedes come back each year. I hope it will prevent infestation by using the granules at the end of Spring.

Not much better then big box store fire ant name brand granulars. Well I say , not in Florida were temps range 78 morning and 95 day time in summer time. And ants move even following instructions. Plus if a 1 inch amount of rain falls, same deal ants move. Probably a 5 start granule in cooler climates - seasons.

I was looking for something for grubs and from a video they told me to get the Bifen Granules..I used it but didn't get much success. I called DoMyOwn and was told that wasn't specified for grubs so I ordered another product that they recommended. I haven't received it yet but will review after use...very helpful at this company.

After having a problem 3 years ago with an infestation of two-line spittle bugs destroying my grass, that a professional lawn service charged $140 for not much help, I called my County Extension Agent for advice. She recommended the Bifen granules as a good control product. This is my 2nd year using them and the product almost totally eradicated them and as a bonus, I don't have any fire ants. Gotta love that.

This product is very much similar to the many other fire ant products that I have used over the years. I applied the product by broadcasting the yard then I focused on specific ant mounds. After water in the product at the ant mounds a few days later the ant mounds were fully active only a few feet from the original spot that was treated ? Needless to say I was not impressed and will try another product.

I did not get Bifen Granules... I got the one they ship to CA. It is NOT Granules... it's like SAND ...hard to spread without waste. Used 2 days ago and watered it: Checked today and the ants are still there still using the same spot. Used again today... and it does not seem to bother the ants. This products is not much better than the one sold at Home Depot at 3 times the price! I DOT NOT RECOMMEND IT AT ALL! Made a mistake when I gave 3 Stars before using it... it shouldn't be more than 1 star.

Well, I've gave this product my best shot. I did not work. I have small ant hills all over my yard. Little brownish/ tan ant. Like pavement ants. I put 50 pounds down the first time on my 1/2 acre lot. We got some rain the next few days. Not too much to wash it away tho. Ants reappeared within days. I bought 50 more pounds to try it again. Put it down and turned on lawn irrigation for 15 minutes to water it in. Ants still here. That's 100 pounds of product with in a months timeframe (125 dollars worth) Ants still making mounds. I put down the exact amount the bag says to kill ants. Maybe I have Superman ants here or something. I'll have to research some Different products I guess. Very disappointed with bafin l/p

Living in southern Louisiana, ant piles are a constant headache. I have been using this product now for several years. They destroy the ants and keep them away for about 4 months. You have to be diligent and remember when the 4 months are up so that you can reapply, and reapply your entire yard. These are a cost effective way to keep the pests away, much better than spot treatments. I use the shoulder strap spreader that they sell. It allows more control and is easier than pushing a drop spreader. I have about 3/4 acre and use 2 or 3 bags each application. May appear expensive, but the cost is worth it.

The last two years, my waterfront property had been overrun with small ants that built 'volcano-style' hills all over the lawn. Last year I pretty much kept up with it using Box-store retail products. I'm a Master Gardener, so I "get" ants, we do need SOME! This year they invited all their friends and relatives and there was no way I could get ahead of them. They tore up the turf, leaving bare spots everywhere. I tried 2 bags of the Bifen (for my size yard) and was very pleased at the result. No more ants, no more volcanoes. Bought additional bags to store inside so I'm ready for next spring. Be sure to use the smallest setting on your broadcast spreader.

Very dry conditions in Kansas this year have caused these nasty springtails to come in my basement, living room and kitchen windows. I tried spraying (outside) many things, Sevin, Spectracide and others. These are not the blackish colored springtails I was having trouble with, they are the lighter tiny ones. They are not so easily killed. This stuff was awesome! Sprinkled all around foundation and 10 feet out. I put sticky boards at window sills and check them often, I am not seeing anymore:) Even after watering the granuals in, I found they do not disolve easily, or maybe I used a bit too much. I haven't seen any bugs around the house! I love this stuff and I will definately buy it again! Bifen Granuals get an A++ from me!

Our old pest control guy was using this product once a year for scorpions. Well, according to the directions on the bag he was not putting enough product down. He was only using 25 pounds for 1 1/3 acre, which is clearly not enough. We purchased 5 bags, broadcasted it out on our entire lot. Make sure you put it down prior to rain so you don't waste any water activating it. Once we put it down, it rained just enough to get it into the ground. We haven't had any spiders, scorpions along with those pesky Spring Tail bugs. Read all of your labels and do it yourself. Very easy to do and it will save you money in the long run. Much cheaper than paying a pest control company, and you will know it was done correctly with the proper amounts.

After 2 years of clover mite and springtail outbreaks I was at my wits end! I had Terminex for 1 year and had to call them back 3 times to do their job right in order to get rid of them. I never did fully until I ordered this product and some Bifen spray. Once I received this product and put it down as directed my problems started to disappear. Within less then 2 weeks they are all gone as well as a host of other bugs. Have had nothing in my house for over 4 months. Best product ever!! Terminex.... they are now history too!! Thank you to the professionals that were so good in answering my many questions and helped me so much.

I cancel my monthly mosquito/tick and pest services bought a battery operated 4 gallon backpack sprayer and some products from DMOPC. Went with liquids same as what my service did with misters, also it seemed cheaper but goes fast (Permithin & BiFen). I also picked up two bags of granulars for the yard to try. I under estimating my sq feet by 1/3 so my first go at the granules I only got 2/3 rds done. The next time I cut the grass everything in that 2/3 treated area was dead absolutely nada darn thing flying or coming off the grass or buzzin me. I had nada one honey bee or saw any holes which we struggle with here. After about 2 weeks I noticed that last 1/3 of the yard I did not treat was infested with honey bees and once I got to the untreated part of the yard all kinds of bugs, nats, and bees, flying in protest to the mowing. I only had liquid and even after 2 weeks with lots of rain this area was only partially knocked down and better while the originally treated area still nada one bug. 2 months the originally treated granules area has nothing but the untreated area I have treated twice with liquids with only about 75% reduction. Just ordered another bag of granules and whammo this stuff is so much better than spraying the yard every few weeks. I can't wait to see how long I can go between these lawn treatments hoping twice or 3 times a year will do it.
