    Q
    For new construction as a termiticide soil pre-treat what is the rate of Bifen XTS per 10 square feet?
    A
    You should apply 1 gallon at .06% solution rate per 10 square feet.  To make a .06% solution, you need to add .32 ounces of Bifen XTS per gallon of water, or basically 1/3 of an ounce per gallon.

    Q
    Can I spray my whole lawn with Bifen XTS?
    I have many red fire ants and hills that have come up, plus an influx of picnic ants, spiders etc., in the house. I originally planned to just treat the external house perimeter, but now i want to go all out. I also want to repel mosquitoes. Is xts a good solution for thus and what sort of mix of concentrate would be good to go in a 2 gallon pump sprayer? And how much yard should a 32oz bottle cover?...thank you!
    A
    Bifen XTS is not recommended for pest control indoors. To treat the pest you described indoors and out, you can use Bifen IT. You can apply Bifen around the perimeter of the yars, trees and shrubs, and indoors cracks and crevices. In the yard, you can apply Talstar Xtra Granular.

  • Asked by Paul from Paducah, Ky

    Q
    Is it okay to use Bifen XTS over an area that was sealed with an oil based sealant?
    The underside of our camper is "raw" (unfinished) OSB, so, it cannot be treated / painted with any water base material. I want to "seal" this area and protect it from wood bees. So, the idea is to treat this area with an oil base insecticide, let dry well, then paint it with an oil base sealer or primer. Will low odor paint thinner or mineral spirits affect the pesticide properties of Bifen XTS? Or would a different product be better?
    A
    We recommend applying the sealant on first before performing a treatment with insecticides. When using Bifen XTS it is possible that it will affect the sealant put down prior because of the xylene base in the Bifen XTS product. With the possiblity of Bifen XTS having an affect on the sealant we recommend using Bifen I/T which is water based and has the same active ingredient as Bifen XTS. Bifen I/T as well as Bifen XTS are both highly toxic to bees.

  • 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 Bifen XTS be used to treat turfgrass?
    Want to make sure that I do not kill my lawn with this product. I live in Tennessee, so we have had some hot days lately. Should I apply on a cololer day with some surfactant, and everything will be fine? Even if the temps warm above 85, days after?
    A

    Yes, Bifen XTS can be used to treat your entire lawn/turfgrass.  Bifen XTS may be used as a broadcast treatment. To accomplish uniform control when applying to dense grass foliage, use volumes of up to 10 gallons per 1000 square feet. For low water volume usage, less than 2 gallons/1000 square feet, addition of a non-ionic or silicone based surfactant (0.25% v/v) is recommended, as is immediate irrigation of treated area with at least 0.25 inches of water following application to ensure efficacy of sub-surface pests including mole crickets.  It is best to apply the product early in the morning or later in the evening, avoiding the higher temperatures of the afternoon hours.

    Q
    Is Bifen XTS good for summer months?
    I'm looking for a product to target springtails, ants, roaches, mosquitos and spiders (a lot right!). I see this product needs to be applied every 30 days. Is there another product that would be good for maybe 2-3 months and holds up well to warm weather (90-100degress)?
    A

    There really is no need to use Bifen XTS. Bifen IT will get the job done. Dilute at 1oz per gallon water and reapply once every 1-2 months.

    Q
    Does Bifen XTS hurt birds?
    Company that sprays the house..spayed my birds that was outside..just wondering what effects this product has on parrots..
    A

    Bifen XTS is safe when used as directed on the product label and it should never contact animals. Pets and people should be out of the treated area until dry. Birds can be more sensitive to chemicals so if your parrot was sprayed we would recommend contacting your vet for the best advice on what to do and watch for.

    Q
    Will Bifen XTS also kill dragonflies and ladybugs?
    A

    Bifen XTS is not selective when it comes to what insects it kills.  If dragon flies land on a treated surface long enough to receive a lethal dose then they could be killed.  It is labeled for beetles so will kill ladybugs.

  • Asked by Robert from Nc
    10/21/2017
    Q
    Can I use a liquid like Bifen XTS to treat surface feeding insects in the lawn and then also use a systemic granule after for grubs?
    Is it ok to use low volume water to treat surface feeders, such as armyworms...then granules to kill mole crickets or grubs?
    A

    As long as the two products you plan to use do not have any restrictions on the label stating that you cannot use them within a certain time frame of another insecticide, you can certainly use both on the yard to target two different pests. Normally we would suggest using the systemic granules for grubs first since those will need to be watered in to be activated. And then several hours later once it has dried or the following day you could come back with the Bifen XTS or other spray product to control the surface insects.
