Customer Reviews for Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules

I wish we had known about bifen granules before using expensive professional extermination. These granules helped us nearly eliminate springtails on our property. Out home if comfortable again.

Great product if you want to make absolutely sure that you see "NO" critters at your home!

Our 1/2 acre sod yard was overtaken by the small, hard bodied, crustacian millipedes. Tens of thousands overtook my house, pool and yard. My driveway was black from the invasion. I researched with my pest control experts, who were no help, and multiple pest control specialists. After research, I found that the only way to rid the problem was to attack the Larva, because you cannot kill the millipedes on direct contact with any safe chemicals. Applying Bifen granules every 3 months, over the last 18 months, has eliminated the threat. They were honestly a nightmare and covered our home inside and out. I recently have been realigning irrigation sprinklers and while digging in my yard, I did not find any insects, ants, worms, grubs or millipedes. Only rich black soil. Use as directed and it works. Thank you Do My Own Pest Control.

This is a great product to create an insect killing field around the perimeter of your home. I created my own shaker bottle out of an old plastic jar that mixed nuts came in. I cut a small hole in the screw on lid. It dispenses just the right amount as I walk around the house and shake the jar. I supplement with Demon for under the soffets, and CY-Kick for inside the garage and house. No insect issues at my house!

The best insecticide I have used and seen. It kill the ants in one day. I had Massey and other companies here, and they could not do the job. I have not seen any ants since I applied this product.

Bought Bifen to get rid of solitary ground bees. A 25 lb bag is supposed to be good for treating 15,000 sq feet. I was treating about 2,000 sq ft at most and bifen seamed ineffective. I have resorted to spraying pyrethrin directly into their hole. The bee comes out and dies quickly.

  Expert response:
Solitary ground bees are very difficult to control with most products. We typically recommend you individually treat each nesting area to contact the bees and their eggs. Please give us a call so we can better advise you! This is a very difficult pest to control.

Last year, I was having severe problems with millipedes. I tried several products. Searching the Internet, I found DoMyOwnPestControl and read about Bifen. I ordered some liquid Bifen and it worked great! This year I bought the granules to spread in my yard. It has totally controlled the millipedes and many other insects. I highly recommend this product.

I did not have any luck using bifen. I applied it as directed but got no results. I was not pleased to spend almost $70 and get zero results. I had to get an exterminator ($100) to come out and get the fleas. I will not buy this product again and would not recommend it to anyone else. not pleased at all....... i wouldn't even give it one star but it don't give you a choice...

I have used bifen granules for several years and it has worked very well. Several of my friends have asked me about it and I have told them it is the only product i've used that works. They have asked me where do I get it so, I have given them your name and told them to order it on line. I am very pleased with bifen.

My spring tails, pill bugs (rollie), flying night bugs that are attracted to the outside night light, and mosquitoes are gone. I laid this out a week ago in my front and back yard and haven't had any issues. Fired my pest control company once I found out about DMOPC. They were charging me $98 each quarter to come out and do a horrible job at exterminating interior and exterior of my house. They never were able to eradicate my pill bug issues or spiders I see in my garage. Anyways, back to the review...almost an immediate knockdown of outside pest. I use to see the pill bugs dead inside the house but no longer do I see them. I've also used this in conjunction with Bifen IT and Onslaught to help fight my primary issue (bird mites) to spray 3 feet up siding of house and 2 feet out and inside eaves where I found the sparrows nesting. The eaves have been cleaned out (1 broken egg and 2 dead baby birds were in my eaves before wiring shut) and wired with cage wire to keep birds out. I could be doing the most, but I'm just making sure the outside barrier is in place to prevent any and all bugs from coming inside. Will add review of Bifen IT and Onslaught (using in rotation to prevent resistance plus a few others) after eradication of mites. Once I see which formula works, I'll be happy to share the eradication efforts, including the cleaning, vacuuming, washing, etc details. Reading everyone's reviews on what bug issue they were facing and how well/or inferior pest control was has helped me greatly, in addition to the advice DMOPC has on bird mites has been priceless. Sharing is caring!!

I use this for tick control in Maine after spraying the perimeter with Bifen IT. I put an additional 30 ft interior border and keep the grass low beyond that. Have small children. Haven't seen a tick in two years. Except when I go deep in the woods.. Great stuff!!

Before I bought this product, I wish I knew this product would work, I would have bought enough to cover my entire lawn. This year we put in a swing set for our daughter's 2nd birthday, which was a great idea since COVID happened after we put it up in the spring. We also put in a firepit so that we could enjoy time outside of the house while everything was closed down. While putting in the firepit, we hit an underground stump that I did not know was there. There were thousands of ants on it. After getting rid of the stump (and ants on it) ant hills started popping up all over our back yard. Coupled with hundreds of crickets, endless spiders, and countless small bugs near the house, we could not enjoy the outside. There were at least 2 ant hills every 2 square feet and I was fighting them all summer. One night while making pie irons I set the pie iron down so I could prepare the next pie, when I picked it up, it already had about 30 ants on it. They finally got to the final 10 feet from my house and I have a picture of the ant hill the size of the ball of my shoe. Everything I bought from Home Depot or Lowes would stop them. I felt there was nothing I could do to prevent them from reaching the house and I was only spending money delaying the inevitable. I was even spraying the hills with the Ortho home defense every Sunday, but they just kept returning and pushing closer to the house. I bought one bag to test and see if this product would provide any coverage, but I was not optimistic based on my last 6 months of failure to control the issue. I mowed the yard, and applied it from my house and around the firepit and swing set, it covered about half our backyard being applied from our seed spreader and running around the backyard property line (~.33 acre lot). I watered it right after application and the next few days we had a lot of rain to where I thought it all would have washed away. So, the next weekend when I was mowing, I wasn't overly confident that the results would last, I figured the week of rain had prevented the bugs, spiders, and ants from returning. But, that mow was amazing!! No small bugs jumping around my knees, the corner of the yard it where this certain type of bug just sits and when I walk by they are jumping all in my face where gone, no spiders diving out of the way of the mower, I only saw 3 crickets, and most importantly no ant hills. I started thinking it was real the following weekend. The same thing! No ant hills, no bugs, no spiders. It has been one month since I laid the granulates and I've only seen two ant hills that barely were on the property and I can easily manage those numbers. Since I laid the granulates we have done 3 fire pits and played outside multiple times a week with our children, something that was no possible before I got this product. I just bought 5 more bags to finish the back yard and do the entire front and side yards. I was just outside walking the yard to confirm that there were still no issues, there are a few bugs, but only where the property lines touch and naturally I can't lay on my neighbor's property. This product changed our outdoor experience for the better.

I don't know if it is the fact that my yard (the ants in it) are use to the normal Home Depot chemicals but this product works great. Kills the whole mound within 24 hours - just remember to water it in.

Tried all the national branded fire ant control products with very mixed results. Ordered the Bifen Granuals, sprinkled a little 4' around the mounds, quickly dug a shovel hole into the mound and sprinkled another 2 tablespoons into the hole. Even without water the ants that came into contact with the granules began to stumble around. After it rained I don't see any activity. Returned to my hunting camp to find the mounds treated last month are empty! The camp is surrounded by pines which the oriental roaches live in the fallen needles. The cabin was infested last year. Did a perimeter treatment with Bifen and no more roaches. Fantastic product.

I buy (2) bags at a time so I never run out. This time I gave one to a friend who had fleas in her house and yard, in addition to fire ants in the yard. She brushed the Bifin into the carpet, left it several days and vacuumed. No more fleas. There should be enough residual in the carpet to keep her free of fleas for some time. She also broadcast Bifin in the yard. Great product.

I saw little or no benefit from using this product. I applied it per the instructions to the lawn in my backyard and the insects are still present. On the other hand I applied Bayer Advanced, Complete Insect to the front lawn and little no insect activity is seen as I walk across the front lawn..

This product is very effective to control fleas as we do not put flea meds on our dogs. We prefer to keep them under control with treatment every 3 months with these granules. We Always have a smooth transaction as well.

I've tried just about every method and this is the best control of Imported Fire Ants and Carpenter Ants! I use Bifen for spot treatment of mounds and broadcast for at least 3 months of control.

I bought this product for the control of millipedes. I have used it twice and so far the millipedes are still around. I am hoping it is a slow reacting herbicide so I will soon see some results.

Works excellent as advertised to control chinch bugs, mole crickets and all other insects in St. Augustine grass. If more people were aware of the availability of this product, The local hardware stores would lose quite a few sales for ineffective insecticides.

Well,, All I can say about bifen granules is that it works and works very well. I have been using both the granules and the liquid for a good many years now and between both of them I have NO bugs at all in or around my house, no fire ants no roaches no spiders and it really cut back on the mole crickets considerably. Great stuff!

I have been using these granules for about 6 years and am very pleased at the consistent performance in keeping the 2 acre area fire ant and flea free. Service is prompt, the product is a winner and the customer service is just as good.

Bought this product because we have a serious ant problem. We double dosed our first batch and by the next morning all the ants were gone. No longer climbing all over my pool or deck. It's been 1 month and still no ants. Love this product.

I use this to create a barrier around the outside of my home. I sprinkle the granules around the foundation of the entire house. I do this quarterly. This combined with a residual spray product like CY-Kick and I am insect free. This product can also be used on lawn damaging insects like chinch bugs, grubs, etc, and far exceeds the effectiveness of the products sold at the big box stores.

I used to have regular invasions of carpenter ants. It has mostly stopped since I started spreading a narrow (6") strip of bifen all the way around the house. I do this approximately every 6 to 8 months. I also try to keep leaves and other vegetation cleared away from the edge of the house. I also used to get the occasional scorpion in the house but that, too has stopped.
