  • Asked by Nathan from Deland Florida
    05/03/2019
    Q
    Does Bifen XTS have an odor?
    I've been using Crosscheck for some time on my exterior. It seems to have an odor if left in the tank for s couple of days. Does Bifen XTS have a odor during application? What if left in the tank for a couple of days?
    A

    Bifen XTS does have an “aromatic hydrocarbon odor” per the SDS that will dissipate once treated areas are dry.  You should only mix what you can use within 24 hours and discard any left over.  Do not store in a sprayer as this can damage the sprayer and the product starts to breakdown once mixed with water and would be ineffective.

    Q
    Is Bifen XTS good for chicken lice?

    Q
    Can Bifen XTS be used with Tomahawk Backpack Fogger?
    i read in Q&A that XTS cannot be used with thermal fogger; can it be used in Tomahawk Backpack Fogger?
    A

    Bifen XTS  cannot be used in a thermal, ulv or propane fogger but can be applied using a backpack sprayer or mist blower If the Tomahawk Backpack Fogger you have works as a mist blower/sprayer similar to the Tomahawk Power Mist Blower TMD14 with Turbo Boost, that would be an acceptable piece of equipment to use for applying Bifen XTS. Please see the product label for complete instructions.

  • Asked by Megan
    03/29/2011
    Q
    What mixture of Bifen XTS is used to treat Zimmerman moths on pine trees?
    A
    You will need to use 1.28 fl. oz. of Bifen XTS per 10 gallons of water and apply at the rate of 10 gallons per 4,356 square feet. One gallon of finish spray will treat 435 sq. ft. If a higher volume application is needed to sufficiently cover the plant canopy, Bifen XTS can be diluted in large volumes of water and applied through low volume equipment as long as the maximum label rate (1.28 fluid ounces per 4,356 square feet) is not exceeded.

    Q
    I have juniper bushes over run with bagworms. Will this eliminate the problem?
    A
    Bifen XTS will definitely help control bagworms. For best results treat when larvae start to hatch. Spray larvae directly. Applications will be most successful if they are made when the larvae are young.

    Q
    Can Bifen XTS be used inside home?

  • Asked by Gus from Lagrange, Ga
    07/21/2015
    Q
    Is Bifen XTS my best bet to eliminate chinch bugs?
    I was going by active ingredient % and noticed that this product had considerable more than Talstar P.
    A

    Talstar P, Bifen IT or Bifen XTS are all great bifenthrin products that are labeled for eradicating chinch bugs. As long as they are applied according to the label, they will be effective for control. Bifen XTS has a larger percentage but is diluted differently than Talstar P or Bifen IT (both water based concentrates).

  • Asked by Joan from Kinston, Nc
    09/23/2015
    Q
    Can I treat an old farm house table that has been stored and appears to have had pine beetles with Bifen XTS?
    After a few days, I will wash table with white vinegar and linseed oil mixed. Will it be safe to use for eating table after this treatment? If not, please advise a safe way to treat this table and use for eating afterward.
    A

    For the treatment of wood destroying insects we would recommend Boracare instead because it is absorbed by the wood and will last the lifetime of the wood. It is recommended for Boracare to be applied to raw wood, but if it's not, you can inject it into the wood. Be sure to follow the label instructions for proper application. Once it's dry, you can then stain it within 6 weeks of the application, and it would be safe for eating afterwards.

    Q
    Does Bifen XTS kill all life stages of squash vine borers?
    A

    Bifen XTS is not labeled for Squash bugs or for use on any edible plants. We do carry the Hi-Yield Indoor/Outdoor 10% Permethrin Insecticide that is labeled for squash bugs and will do great job controlling them when used as directed on the product label. This product will kill the adult stages.

  • 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.

  • 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.
