    I am new to using Bifen XTS; how much do I mix for a nozzle sprayer using teaspoons per gallon?

  • Asked by Frances from Columbus, Ms
    02/02/2017
    Q
    Which product would be best for treating fire ants? Bifen XTS or Bifen IT?
    A

    Since Bifen XTS is oil-based it will hold up better outdoors than Bifen IT. Bifen XTS also has a higher percentage of active ingredient, so you will  use less per application  You may also want to take a look at our Fire Ant Control Page for more information on treating and preventing fire ants. Instructions for Fire Ant Control using Bifen XTS are below.

    Bifen XTS for Fire Ant Mound Treatments: 

    Sprinkle the mound, using 1-2 gallons of dilution, until it is wet and apply to a 4 foot diameter circle around the mound. When treating mounds larger than 12”, use the higher volume. Do not treat in the heat of the day and for optimum results, apply in cool weather, such as in early morning or late evening hours

  • Asked by Ron from Milford, Pa

    Q
    Mix ratio for carpenter ants on Bifen XTS.
    Looking to mix ratio per gallon. Using a 1 or 2 gallon sprayer mixing with water for carpenter ants etc.
    A

    Bifen XTS is mixed at 1/6 fl oz to 1/3 fl oz per gallon of water per the label.

    Bifen XTS is labeled for carpenter ants. Bifen XTS will eliminate carpenter ants that come into contact with treated surfaces. Termidor SC is the more popular choice for carpenter ant control because it is non-repellent, has a delayed reaction kill and has a transfer effect. This means that the ants cannot detect that an area has been sprayed and cannot avoid the treated area, as they walk over the area they pick small particles of Termidor SC up on their body and inadvertently carry back to the colony spreading it to other ants.

  • Asked by Scott from Newtown Square, Pa
    04/18/2012
    Q
    Other than longer residual, what is the difference between oil and water based Bifen?
    For example, can the oil based Bifen XTS be applied to wood siding and other outdoor structures?
    A
    According to the Bifen XTS product label you can indeed spray it on outdoor siding and other outdoor structures. As with all oil based products, we do recommend you spray a small inconspicuous area to test for staining. Bifen XTS cannot be used indoors as a crack and crevice or broadcast spray while Bifen IT can. You can review the Bifen XTS product label and the Bifen IT product label if you would like to compare the products in greater depth.

  • 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.

    Can you overseed after an application of Bifen XTS?
    A

    You can apply Bifen XTS any time before or after seeding. Just keep in mind that if you are disturbing the soil by dethatching or aerating, then we recommend you do that soil alteration before spraying rather than after.

  • Asked by Josh from Houston, Tx
    05/26/2016
    Q
    Can you apply Bifen XTS directly to flowers and palm trees to kill ants if the temp is under 85 degrees?
    I assume it is ok for the outside temp to be over 85 once the Bifan dries? We have very small black ants (Houston area) that crawl on the flowers which eat holes and turn the buds black. They eventually kill the plants and the plant food with insect killer has not stopped them. Our flowers are freshly planted if that raises a concern.
    A

    Bifen XTS should not harm plants when applied at cooler times of the day. It would be better to use a product like Dominion 2L which will not harm flowers and will be transferred back to the ant colony.
