Customer Reviews for Bifen XTS

I moved to a new home with about 3/4 of an acre and was upset to find that I got chigger bites whenever I went into the yard. Since I am an avid gardener, this was a problem. I tried using various topicals and still got bit. I did some online research and found Bifen XTS is recommended to kill chiggers. Sprayed the yard in July and within a day, I was no longer getting bit. Normally according to life cycle of chiggers, they really shouldn't have been around in July but we were having a rainy month which makes another cycle of chiggers. I debated about spraying again 6 weeks later as recommended, but getting bit again around that time, made up my mind for me and I sprayed again. This was a few days before an outside party so not only were we free from chiggers but it also got rid of mosquitos at that time. It has also ridded us of an ant problem. I am happy with the product, the price and the fact that you don't use a lot of product to spray a large area. I used the Chapin Hose Sprayer to apply the product (also purchased at DMOPC) and it worked well.

Killed a lot of fire ants, had to reapply a week later to catch a few new hills but there were a lot of hills on property, not unexpected. Much better than any else used in past.

I began in May treating my lawn for sod web worms using a pesticide from a big box garden center. I sprayed the lawn area twice and at 6 week intervals, not the 3 month interval as listed on the package. In late August the brown circular areas of the dead grass eaten by sod web worms started appearing. That is when I decided to "Go Pro" and began using Bifen XTS. I took my time applied liberally and wore protective clothing as recommended. Even though it is too late in the season to prevent the damage done, I will continue to use Bifen XTS as my 'go to' pesticide in the future.

Since the banned product "Mirex" was removed from the market, I have been very dissatisfied with almost everything I tried on "Fire Ants". This product seems to be working better than anything I have tried in a long tome. After I've used it for a year I'll know better.

I had a problem with sod webworms. Couldn't find a decent product locally so I researched the internet and found DoMyOwnPestControl.com. The product worked spectacularly and was much less expensive than anything I had found previously. Simple instructions and easy to mix and apply. The only thing easier is to hire it done and that is expensive. I like to control the strength too. I have several applications remaining in the bottle. Couldn't be happier with the product and the website.

Sprayed shady perimeter of yard before dark and haven't seen a mosquito since. Before spraying we couldn't go outside without mosquito repellant. Now the kids can go outside without being bitten. Great product. Will reapply in thirty days or if I see a reinfestation.

I have had a terrible FIRE ANT problem in my yard for years. I tried home solutions, granular and powder fire ant killers with varied results. FINALLY have found something that really kills the mounds. BIFEN XTS REALLY works ! A 32oz bottle will make up to 64 gallons of Fire Ant solution that REALLY works when applied correctly. Mix a half oz to one gallon of water in a tank sprayer adjust nozzle to spray a steady stream and depending on the size of the mound spray 4 to 8 seconds in the center and a ring around the mound as an added touch. Presto no more fire ants! This stuff has a multitude of uses! The shipping was very fast and have referred to my friends who have also purchased and been very pleased with DoMyOwnPestControl !

Great product for home defense of several common insects. Kills within minutes of contact, but provides a shield that keeps them from coming back. I will continue to use Bifen XTS as it really works.

It works great but it has a strong odor. The odor goes away after a little while.

I bought the XTS because it is oil based and it helps it be effective longer. I live in Alabama on 10 acres with lots of wildlife and occasional stray pets dropping by. Tons of spiders, fleas, scorpions, you name we got it. Moved into the 2nd or guest house (20x20 shack full of all of these) sprayed about an acre surrounding the 2 houses and no bugs from Sept. thru Feb. Just make sure it's not going to rain for a few days after.

"Simple" mixing instructions would be nice. I finally settled on 1/3 to 1/2 oz per gallon. Seems to be working on my spider problem.

Upon Tech. Support request answers I started using Bifen XTS to control termites in our Nebraska area and found it to be very effective on kill ratios and "safe" to use as directed. Using it around our house and out buildings where our kids and grandkids live,work and play was a major safety concern. DoMyOwnPestControl also advised on the correct product with its primary ingredient being Bifen for strength and cost.

I purchased this for fire ants in my yard. I have killed every nest in my yard so far. This is a great product and I will keep this for any future invasion of these pests. I also eliminated a carpenter ant nest. Great product and will recommend it to all my friends.

I call this product the United States Marine Corps, because just like the Marines, this stuff kills bugs, on land, in the air, and sea.

This is a great product and a great price. I had a very bad problem with fleas had my yard sprayed by a professional he had to come back several times and I still had the problem , this product was recommended to me by my daughter who had had the same problem a couple of years ago and she had her sprayed by professionals also which didn't work . Since I have been using this is have saved money by doing it my self.

I spray my yard, around the perimeter of my house, and my shop with this product. I had a problem with brown widows and have not seen one since last year when I sprayed. This stuff kills almost any insect. I use a half ounce per gallon so the quart bottle goes a long way. I highly recommend this product.

After years of paying for pest control at $30-$40 per month, I got tired of paying for the technician to be at my home for 10 minutes, barely spray and leave. For the cost of one month of service, I bought this product and do it myself. I must say this stuff works, and it has the same active ingredient that the "professionals" use.

Love that this product works as advertised. But the SMELL and the lingering ODOR of this product made both my Wife and myself sick. I had no idea that it's so strong smelling. And that it lingers for more than 1-2-3 days depending on the weather conditions. I will look elsewhere here for another product next time. I wasted money on it-I applied it 2X since I ordered it hoping that the second application wouldn't be as bad. I was wrong.

As I was spraying around my house, I found a huge fire ant bed that has been there a long time. I simply touch the top of the ant bed with my spray nozzle and pulled the trigger. The spray opened a hole in the ant bed so I just pushed the nozzle into the ant bed and continued spraying for about 15 seconds. Then I moved to another location on the bed and repeated the operation. I came back to the ant bed the next day and found piles of dead ants but no live ones.

This is a great product. This is my go-to product for most everything, but a must for spiders and wasp. After pest control company advised they would treat the wasp on my second story eaves, but then backed out, I had to fire them. They claimed the only way was to keep knocking down the nest and they would eventual stop building. However, after kicking them to the curve, I tried Bifen XTS. I sprayed the nest and all my eaves. The wasp left and did not return for nearly 2 years.. Yup! So about every 18 months I'll spray my eaves. The best part of this was after spraying my eaves and around the outside of my home, I realized that I had a huge spider problem, that I was unaware of. I started seeing numerous spiders on the driveway, porches, and walkways. Basically, they were seen on most every concrete areas I had. I'd never seen so many spiders. The best news is that they were ALL rolled up and dead. I don't really see any insect around my house any more. Definitely haven't found any inside either.
