  • Asked by Tom from Youngstown, Oh
    09/30/2017
    Q
    How should I mix Bifen XTS to kill bag worms on arborvitae?
    Also, how often should I spray to control the bag worms?
    A

    Bifen XTS is mixed at 0.03 to 0.13 fl oz per gallon of water for bag worms.  You can apply once a month.  Keep in mind that once the bagworms have formed their bag, there is little you can do for control other than to physically remove them.  Applications should typically start in April and continue monthly through June. Be sure foliage is sprayed thoroughly to the point of runoff to achieve adequate coverage.

    Q
    Outdoor bedbugs
    Help! I bought this for outside. We had mice in our garage, now bedbugs in the garage (mostly gone in house), but they are attacking anyone outside! And they come in on the feet/pants of anyone who doesn't check themselves. The gardeners, the plumbers, the contractors, the kids, does this kill Outside bedbugs? Our mild temperatures keep them alive here, and they're on the flowers, the succulents, the grass..anywhere there is moisture. I can't go out side, either front or back! Do I have to return this?
    A
    We apologize but there is no such thing as outdoor bedbugs. Can you please use a glue board like what people often use to catch mice on around the house and try to catch one on it? Can you take a picture of some of them in clear light with focus so that we may try and identify what pest you are having outside around your home and in the garage? We look forward to hearing back from you and seeing pictures of the pests so that at that point we can make an accurate recommendation of a product for your needs.

    Q
    Would Bifen XTS be an effective product for the control of flies around exterior calf huts and barns?

  • Asked by Jason
    05/23/2011
    Q
    Is Bifen XTS a viable solution to eliminate stink bugs outdoors, either as a spray on in a fogger?
    A
    Bifen XTS can be used to control stinkbugs outdoors but cannot be used in a fogger. Bifen XTS, like most products, is not specifically labeled for stinkbugs because this pest is so new to the industry. Most professionals use the highest allowed usage rate on the product label for the area they are treating when trying to control stinkbugs.

    Q
    How soon after application with Bifen XTS for mole crickets on a pasture can livestock be returned for grazing?
    I will be spraying at the rate of 8 oz per acre
    A
    Bifen XTS is NOT labeled for and should not be used in grazing pastures at all. If you do have a grazing plot that was treated with the product then the grass should be allowed to grow high and then be cut several times before the horses can be turned out to graze again.

  • Asked by John from King, Nc
    06/28/2018
    Q
    Is Bifen XTS recommended for mosquitoes?
    Is this product recommended for mosquitos or would Talstar pro be a better choice? Also would you apply with an atomizer or with a hand pump sprayer?
    A

    Bifen XTS is a great product choice for mosquito control.  It will last outdoors for 4-8 weeks, depending on rainfall and UV rays in the area the product is applied.

    The most important thing to remember when treating for mosquitoes is that they hang out on the underside of leaves and shrubs.  You should treat all shrubs, bushes and trees, remembering to not only treat the main bush or shrub but also the underside of the leaves.  The product is best applied with a mist blower or a hang pump sprayer.  Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water, so if there are any areas of standing water where you are treating, those should be treated as well with BTI Mosquito Dunks or Altosid Pro-G Mosquito Larvicide. 

    You may also want to look over our Mosquito Control Article if you have a moment. 

    Either sprayer or mister application would be effective with either product as long as the application is thorough.  Oil-based products such as Bifen XTS can stain some surfaces.  This is not usually a concern in most areas outside, but you should use caution when treating around the siding of a home.  Most oil-based products such as Bifen XTS do have a "chemical" odor but it is not especially strong.

    Q
    Will Bifen XTS kill termites?
    How much do I use for 388 sf bldg. How long will it last? When is the best time of year to treat for termites in NE Texas?
    A

    Bifen XTS will kill termites that come in contact with it, and a termite treatment with Bifen XTS will last for 3-5 years. For the best complete prevention and treatment, we recommend that you use Termidor SC.  Please visit our Barrier Treatment page for proper application. Once in the ground, Termidor will last for up to 10 years. For either termiticide, you will use 4 gallons of finished solution for every 10 linear feet around the structure you are treating. You can treat any time of year as long as the ground is not frozen, air temperatures are not below freezing, and there is no current precipitation.
