Yes, when treating with Bifen XTS it would need to be reapplied. Bifen XTS is a repellent but not in the literal sense.
Instead, we recommend treating with Taurus SC before placing the pool liner as this product will eliminate active termite colonies within 90 days and provide a 10 year barrier protection against future termites. Before installing the new pool liner, you will use use 1 gallon of mixed solution (0.8 fl oz + 1 gallon of water) for every 10 square feet of the pool footprint. Once all the square footage has been treated, you will want to trench around the periemter of the pool for the complete barrier protection treatment. Dig a 6in x 6in trench directly against the pool perimeter and around any support posts/beams (if applicable) and pour 4 gallons of mixed solution (3.2 fl oz Taurus SC + 4 gallons of water) every 10 linear feet.
View the product label for a pre-slab and exterior perimeter treatment information as well as our Termite Treatment Guide for step by step instructions.
Bifen XTS does not really make it that much better than the normal Talstar P, its just that one quart container can make much more than the equivalent Tasltar. The normal mixture rate for Talstar is 0.5-1.0 ounce per gallon of water. When using Bifen XTS, you only need about a third of an ounce to make the same treatment. So you can make many more gallons of solution from one container of Bifen XTS.
Talstar P lasts 1 year in the soil for termites and Bifen XTS will last 3-5 years in the soil for termites.
Taurus SC would be a better long term treatment for Subterranean Termites as this will eliminate a active termite colonies within 90 days and provide a 10 year barrier protection against future termites. Taurus SC can be applied directly to the soil before installing the new pool liner at the rate of 0.8 fl oz per gallon of water per 10 sq ft area to be covered. After treating the soil and installing the new pool liner, you will want to apply Taurus SC as a trench treatment around the perimeter at the rate of 4 gallons (3.2 fl oz + 4 gallons of water) of mixed solution every 10 linear feet.

Yes, Bifen XTS would work for German roaches both indoors & outdoors, but it would not be our top pick. One of our roach control kits would be best for an indoor treatment. Both should not harm pets/kids once dry.

The mixing rate of Bifen XTS for sod webworms is 0.07-0.15 fl oz per 1000 square feet in at least 1 gallon of water but can be up to 10 gallons per the product label. To ensure the best control for sod webworms, postpone watering or mowing for at least 24 hours after application. This can be done every 21 days as needed.
For low water volume usage, less than 2 gallons/1000 square feet, addition of a non-ionic or silicone based surfactant (0.25% v/v) is recommended, as is immediate irrigation of treated area with at least 0.25 inches of water following application to ensure efficacy of sub-surface pestsUnfortunately Bifen XTS is not labeled for nematodes. We do carry Monterey Nematode Control which is labeled for them
Bifen XTS is mixed at 0.32 - 0.64 fl oz per gallon of water per the product label. Please find our Spider Control Guide here for additional information for this pest.
