    Q
    Does Bifen XTS kill bed bugs
    A

    No, Bifen XTS is not labeled to kill bedbugs and is an outdoor only use product. For bedbug control you will want to use one of our Bedbug Kits as these are the most accurate way to eliminate an infestation in a home. Each kit comes with step by step instructions in the box to help make sure you get rid of all of the pests

    Q
    Will Bifen XTS kill weeds?

    Bifen XTS is an insecticide and will only kill insects, not weeds. If you are looking for an herbicide to kill weeds we carry many on our site under the Herbicides and Weed Killers link in the Lawn & Garden tab of our site.

  • Asked by Bill from Inverness
    04/23/2016
    Q
    How much Bifen XTS to mix per gallon of water to treat spider mites on my red cypress tress?
    A

    According to the label, for Spider Mites on ornamentals, you would use .38 -1.28 ounces per every 10 gallons of water. The Bifen IT would be better for your needs than the Bifen XTS as spider mites are not its main usage and is a much higher rate of the active ingredient, therefore causing you to have to dilute much further down for your needs

    Q
    Can you use Bifen XTS as a systemic for scale insects?
    A

    No, Bifen XTS is not labeled to be used as a systemic inscticide. You would want to use a product like Monterey Once A Year Insect Control II. This would cover several different types of scale, and can be used as a systemic drench.

    Q
    Can I use Bifen XTS with an under ground sprinkler system with ez flow fertilizer in-line system?
    A

    Bifen XTS is not labeled to be used in a fertilizer system like that.  Once it is mixed with water it starts to break down pretty quickly so must be applied with a sprayer.  We are unaware of the products that could be used.

  • 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.

  • Asked by Dave from Raleigh, Nc
    06/16/2016
    Q
    How do I use Bifen XTS with a Chapin Slide-N-Spray hose end sprayer to kill chiggers in my lawn?
    Since the Chapin sprayer has a 6 gallon capacity should I add 6 oz of bifen and then fill the sprayer to the 6 gal mark with water before attaching to the hose? Should I water the lawn after applying?
    A

    No, you will add .32 fl. oz of Bifen XTS per gallon of water. For six gallons, you will use 1.92 fl. oz. of product, fill the reservoir up to 6 with water if the product does not reach that point, attach the hose end sprayer to the hose, set the dial to six and then turn it on and spray. This will treat 6000 square feet.

    You do not need to water your lawn after applying this product.

    Q
    Can I mix Bifen XTS with a pyrethrin solution?
    I want the knockdown power of pyrethrin and the residual action of Bifen XTS? If not, what would be a good product to take care of fleas and ticks in my yard? Thanks
    A

    Yes, you can use Bifen XTS with a pyrethrin such as Exciter. This would give the Bifen XTS a boost for the knockdown power up front that you are looking for.

  • Asked by Janet from Fulshear, Tx
    06/19/2016
    Q
    Will Bifen XTS harm flowers or butterflies?
    A

    Bifen XTS is unlikely to harm flowers if applied according to the label instructions but it is not really selective as far as what insects it controls, so there is a chance that it could harm or kill a butterfly if one were to come into contact with a treated surface.

    Q
    Which is more stable in direct sunlight, Bifen I/T or Bifen XTS?
    A

    Both Bifen IT and Bifen XTS can be used in areas where there is direct sunlight. Bifen IT is a water-based solution, while Bifen XTS is an oil-based solution. Sometimes one solution is preferred, depending on the target pest, so be sure to check the product labels to make sure you are applying the product appropriately for your needs.

  • Asked by Michael from Orlando, Florida
    07/02/2016
    Q
    Is Bifen XTS safe for use on potted Hibiscus in 12" pots, dealing with heavy fungus gnat infestation?
    Is it better to use a pitcher (sort of drenching the soil for fungus gnats and plant leaves ridding them of aphids and mealy bugs as well), or a 1 gallon pump sprayer for a lighter misting all over? I have good drainage, watered daily, and fertilized once a week. was thinking about a 1.5 teaspoon (0.25 fl oz) per 2 gallons for heavy infestation.
    A

    Yes, Bifen XTS can be used on potted plants for fungus gnats. It is recommended that you use this product with a gallon pump sprayer. The mixing ratio is .004 -.02 fl oz. per gallon of water. Be sure to apply to the bottoms of the leaves as well. In two gallons of water, you will use .04 fl. oz.
