    Q
    Can you mix Bifen XTS with Talstar or Tengard to make it stronger?
    A

    There would be no valid reason for mixing Bifen XTS with Talstar P or Tengard.  Mixing 2-3 insecticides together does not make either stronger and can contaminate an area making it highly repellent so that insects will avoid it and neither can do their job of killing the insects.  If you want a faster knockdown product, you can add something like Exciter.

    Q
    Can Bifen XTS, Permethrin SFR and Tekko Pro be mixed together for outdoor use?
    For chiggers, mosquitoes, fire ants and fleas.
    A

    Two insecticides, like Bifen XTS and Permtherin SFR 36.8%, should not be mixed together. They're both synthetic pyrethroids and creating such a mixture could be too strong and backfire, causing insects to avoid the treated areas. Tekko Pro IGR, however, can be mixed with either of these insecticides. Although Bfien XTS would be the better option in treating chiggers, mosquitoes, fire ants and fleas.

  • Asked by Eric from Hartselle, Al
    07/18/2018
    Q
    Can I use Bifen XTS on azaleas for aphids and lace bugs?
    A

    Bifen XTS should not be applied at this time of year directly to azaleas for aphid and lace bug control. It is an oil based product that could damage the plants if not applied in cooler temperatures. We would recommend that you use a water base product that will be gentle on these plants and apply in the evening or early in the morning such as Bifen IT.  Dominion 2L Termiticide Concentrate should be applied as a drench around the base of the shrubs/bushes in no less than 10 gallons of water per 1000 square feet. Direct application to the root area is best for lacebugs and aphids.

  • Asked by Steven from Wakefield, Ma
    09/26/2018
    Q
    Will Bifen XTS kill stink bugs?
    I'm looking for something that will kill stink bugs. I already have Bifen XTS but don't see these on the label. Also, is it too late to spray for stink bugs now?
    A

    Bifen XTS can be used to control stinkbugs outdoors. 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.You should treat monthly through November for stinkbugs and other overwintering insects. You can start earlier next year around the July or August.
