  • Asked by Sue from Mesa Az
    05/31/2015
    Q
    Can I use Bifen XTS on my orange tree that has some bugs and is distressed?
    A
    Bifen XTS should NOT be applied to anything edible including orange trees. We recommend that you contact your local cooperative extension office for a proper identification of the insect and/or disease that is causing the tree distress. Please let us know what you are treating for exactly and we will be able to find you a product that will fit your specific needs.

  • Asked by Sean from Ct
    06/11/2015
    Q
    Would Bifen XTS be a good (residual) alternative to Bifen granules to rid of a springtail infestation?
    I've seen suggestions of Cyonara + Bifen Granules but I wonder if Bifen XTS alone would accomplish the same to rid of springtails.
    A
    Bifen XTS is labeled for springtails. You will use 1/6 fl. oz. per gallon of water. This will be broadcast across the areas where springtails have been seen outdoors and around ornamentals. Using one insecticide is enough.

  • Asked by Nick
    06/05/2011
    Q
    Does Bifen XTS work on springtails? Would it be best to treat at night when the pests are present?
    A
    Bifen XTS is labeled for springtails and should do a great job for you. The time of day you spray is not very important as Bifen XTS will leave a long lasting active residual on treated areas. It is important to note that springtails are very hard to eliminate unless the moisture issue that brought them to the area to start with is fixed. You can learn more about how to eliminate springtails by reading our article " How to get rid of springtails"

    05/12/2016
    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.

    Q
    Scorpions
    Will the CRA kill scorpions?
    A

    Bifen XTS is labeled to treat for Scorpions outside the perimeter of the home. Mix 1/6 fl oz -1/3 fl oz with 1 gallon of water, apply to a 10 foot wide band of soil andvegetation around and next to the structure, and treat the foundation of the structure to a height of 2 to 3 feet. Use a spray volume of 2 to 10 gallons of dilution per 1000 sq. ft. Trim back any bushes, shrubs or trees so they are touching the side of the house. This will limit the insects access to the house from ground only where they will come into contact with the active ingredient, Bifenthrin.

  • Asked by Luther from Huntsville, Tx
    05/27/2019
    Q
    Will Bifen XTS kill oak beetles? If so, how do I apply.
    A

    Unfortunately, there is no easy solution when it comes to oak beetles. Infected trees should be cut down (before the newly hatched beetles fly out of the trees in the spring/summer) and the wood burned or chipped, while other still healthy trees should be sprayed annually to protect them. Because of the natural boring behavior of the beetle they are protected from topically applied insecticides and systemic insecticides (those injected into the tree or applied as a root drench) have proven ineffective for pine beetle infestations. Healthy trees can be protected before the beetles attack by topically spraying them with a synthetic pyrethroid like Bifen XTS.  The tree should be sprayed from the ground to 15 ft up the trunk to prevent future infestations. You should contact your local cooperative extension office to find out the best time to start spraying in your region.

    Q
    Can Bifen XTS be used around lakes and ponds without harming fish?
    A

    Bifen XTS should not be applied within 25 ft from a lake/pond containing fish. It is extremely toxic to aquatic life. Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from treated areas. Care should be used when spraying to avoid fish and reptile pets in/around ornamental ponds.
