While Bifen XTS can be used for ant control in general, unfortunately we cannot make recommendations for products used in a school environment. You will first need to contact your state Agricultural Dept. or school district for a list of approved products.
Bifen XTS cannot be used in a fogger.
Bifen XTS is an outdoor insecticide only and is not labeled for bedbugs. We recommend that you treat with one of our Bedbug Kits. Please find detailed information on treating for this insect in our How to Get Rid of Bedbugs Article.
Bifen XTS can be applied as directed monthly to the exterior listed areas. It is best to apply as a preventative. For additional information on timing in your area, you can contact your local cooperative extension office.
We would not recommend using Bifen XTS at temperatures over 85 degrees as this is an oil based product and can burn plants it comes into contact with under extreme heat. We recommend spraying in early morning or late evening.
Bifen XTS is not labeled for grubs. It is applied at the rate of 0.07-0.15 fl. ozs. per 1000 square feet for ants, armyworms and other listed pests and offers a 30 day exterior residual. You can see our full selection of grub control products here.
According to the manufacturer:
To maximize efficacy against subsurface pests, apply Bifen XTS with a non-ionic surfactant in enough water to ensure the spray penetrates to soil-thatch matrix. Irrigate treated areas with 0.25 to 0.5 inches of water immediately following application taking special care to prevent run-off or puddling.
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).
Bifen XTS is not labeled for botflies or the eggs as they are parasitic insects. For more information on treatment, please contact your local cooperative extension office.
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
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.
