    Q
    Any special instructions to kill chiggers with Bifen XTS?

  • Asked by Gus from Lagrange, Ga
    07/21/2015
    Q
    Is Bifen XTS my best bet to eliminate chinch bugs?
    I was going by active ingredient % and noticed that this product had considerable more than Talstar P.
    A

    Talstar P, Bifen IT or Bifen XTS are all great bifenthrin products that are labeled for eradicating chinch bugs. As long as they are applied according to the label, they will be effective for control. Bifen XTS has a larger percentage but is diluted differently than Talstar P or Bifen IT (both water based concentrates).

    07/16/2015
    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.

  • Asked by Helmut from Newbury, Nh
    06/13/2015
    Q
    What sprayer has a large spray swath for a large yard?
    Spray pattern with hand pump sprayer, even at broadest setting, isn't very wide-which makes lawn coverage rather tedious. Any other suggestion, apart from hose end sprayers which are not recommended for lack of accurate mix?
    A
    The 9 gallon Master Gardener Cart Sprayer may fit your needs well.
    It can be pulled or towed by your riding lawn mower or 4 wheeler. The rechargeable 12 volt battery has a 2 hour run time before it needs to be recharged. The tank has a coiled hose that you can spot spray with, or you can use the front mounted nozzle which allows you to spray a 50" swath at a time. This tank is ideal for applying insecticides and herbicides and can handle just about any terrain with its 12" tank mounted wheels.

  • Asked by Sean from Ct
    06/11/2015
    Q
    Would Bifen XTS be a good (residual) alternative to Bifen granules to rid of a springtail infestation?
    I've seen suggestions of Cyonara + Bifen Granules but I wonder if Bifen XTS alone would accomplish the same to rid of springtails.
    A
    Bifen XTS is labeled for springtails. You will use 1/6 fl. oz. per gallon of water. This will be broadcast across the areas where springtails have been seen outdoors and around ornamentals. Using one insecticide is enough.

  • Asked by Phyllis from Little Rock, Arkansas
    06/11/2015
    Q
    I just placed an order for Bifen XTS for fleas at my house. Can I use it indoors also?
    After I placed the order I saw where the bifen IT is for indoors. Really can't afford both products. I have had to leave my dog at my parents until I can get rid of these fleas so she can come home. I don't want to use the bifen XTS in the house if it will harm my dog. Am hoping to use this product indoors and outdoors (maybe adjust the product/water mixture??) I tried to call you but it was after hours. Thanks.
    A
    No, Bifen XTS is not labeled for indoor use. We would recommend using Onslaught Insecticide with an IGR (insect growth regulator) for indoor use. This can be sprayed in the areas where fleas are present. You will vacuum daily for 14 days and do a second treatment.

    Q
    Can I use Bifen XTS on my orange tree that has some bugs and is distressed?

    Bifen XTS should NOT be applied to anything edible including orange trees. We recommend that you contact your local cooperative extension office for a proper identification of the insect and/or disease that is causing the tree distress.

  • Asked by Michael from Long Valley, Nj
    05/29/2015
    Q
    Looking to control deer ticks and mosquitoes in NJ, what are the best products or combinations?
    A

    Talstar P would be a great choice for indoor and outdoor tick control. We also recommend adding an insect growth regulator such as Archer IGR to Talstar to stop the ticks from being able to mature while you are trying to eliminate the infestation. You will use 1 oz of Talstar +  1oz of Archer IGR per gallon of water per 1,000 sq ft area. Do not make spot applications. Treat the entire area where exposure to ticks may occur. Use more water (not more product) when treating areas with dense ground cover or heavy leaf litter. Ticks may be reintroduced from surrounding areas on host animals. Retreatment may be necessary to achieve and/or maintain control during periods of high pest pressure. All of your pets should be treated with a product that is specifically labeled for use on pets for tick control.

    You can also help by creating a "tick safe zone" in your yard. You should have an area that is at least 9 ft wide between your yard and any wooded area. Trim back trees to allow as much sunlight as possible into your yard. Keep grass as short. Remove as much leaf litter as possible. A clearly defined, well manicured border between your yard and any wooded areas or weedy lots will reduce the chance of ticks infesting your yard.

    Talstar P is also very great for treating mosquitoes. You will make sure to apply a monthly exterior treatment (focusing on the undersides fo the tree leaves). The combination of both Talstar and NyGuard IGR is great for mosquito and tick control. Please let us know if you need anything else.

  • Asked by Paul from Paducah, Ky
    05/21/2015
    Q
    Is it okay to use Bifen XTS over an area that was sealed with an oil based sealant?
    The underside of our camper is "raw" (unfinished) OSB, so, it cannot be treated / painted with any water base material. I want to "seal" this area and protect it from wood bees. So, the idea is to treat this area with an oil base insecticide, let dry well, then paint it with an oil base sealer or primer. Will low odor paint thinner or mineral spirits affect the pesticide properties of Bifen XTS? Or would a different product be better?
    A
    We recommend applying the sealant on first before performing a treatment with insecticides. When using Bifen XTS it is possible that it will affect the sealant put down prior because of the xylene base in the Bifen XTS product. With the possiblity of Bifen XTS having an affect on the sealant we recommend using Bifen I/T which is water based and has the same active ingredient as Bifen XTS. Bifen I/T as well as Bifen XTS are both highly toxic to bees.

    Q
    We need a control for winter moth caterpillar on fruit trees. We are located in Massachusetts.
    A
    We do not recommend applying Bifen XTS to edibles. For treating fruit trees for moth caterpillars, we would recommend applying Bonide Fruit Tree Spray. Please refer to the product label for complete mixing and application times for the fruits on your trees. Please let us know if you need anything else.
