Bifen XTS can be used as a drench for some insects. However, it cannot be drenched on or around your vegetables. For termites around vegetables your best option is to use boiling water where you see activity.
The rate of Bifen XTS to target aphids is 0.26 to 1.28 oz (1.5 tsp to 7.6 tsp) per 10 gallons of water. This would break down to be 0.02 fl oz to 0.12 fl oz (0.12 tsp to 0.72 tsp) per gallon of water.

According to the manufacturer:
To maximize efficacy against subsurface pests, apply Bifen XTS with a non-ionic surfactant in enough water to ensure the spray penetrates to soil-thatch matrix. Irrigate treated areas with 0.25 to 0.5 inches of water immediately following application taking special care to prevent run-off or puddling.
Bifen XTS is not labeled for botflies or the eggs as they are parasitic insects. For more information on treatment, please contact your local cooperative extension office.
