How many gallons of water is recommended if mixing 1 gallon of Quali - Pro Bifenthrin I/T 7.9 F in a bulk sprayer to treat fire ants?

Answer:

Quali - Pro Bifenthrin I/T 7.9 is applied at the rate of 1 fl oz in 5 to 10 gallons of water per 1000 sq ft. It is critical either to use high-volumes of water (up to 10 gallons of water per 1000 sq ft) if treating dense foliage or to irrigate prior to application if the soil is dry. Best control is achieved thought broadacast treatments in combination with mound drenches as this will control present colonies along with foraging workers and newly mated fly-in queens.  For mound drenches, dilute 1 teaspoon of Quali-Pro Bifenthrin I/T 7.9 F per gallon of water and use 1 to 2 gallons of finished dilution using sufficient force to penetrate the top and allow dilution to flood ant channels. Treat a four-foot diameter around each ant mound. Application should be made in late evening or early morning when it is cooler (65 to 85 degrees).  NOTE: A spray rig calibrated to apply 1 fluid oz. per 1000 square feet of Quali-Pro Bifenthrin I/T 7.9 F in 5 gallons per 1000 square feet contains the equivalent dilution (1 teaspoon per gallon) required for fire ant mound drenches in the spray tank.
