Our house is surrounded by a many acres of forest filled with mosquitos. Is it worth buying this product - can we actually get some relief? And if so, what can we do or how we can go about achieving this?
The Bifen IT would be an excellent option for mosquito control. As you know, with that heavy of a wooded area around you, you wont be able to completely eliminate the entire population, but you can certainly bring it down to a tolerable level when you can enjoy your yard again. We highly recommend if you want the most control out of this heavily mosquito populated area, mix NyGuard IGR with your first spray of Bifen IT. The NyGuard is birth control for the bugs in the area and will make a huge dent in knocking back the activity. By stopping the mosquito reproduction, you get a much better grip on the problem than just killing the ones that land on a surface treated with an insecticide. You will typically mix 1 ounce of Bifen IT and 4-8 ml of NyGuard IGR per gallon of water. Focus on the areas that are most dense in foliage and tend to stay the most moist and shaded. Spray the undersides of leaves of bushes and trees as these are prime breeding areas for the mosquitoes. The Bifen will last roughly 30 days outdoors and the NyGuard should last up to 5 months. If you feel the NyGuard is needed again before the 5 month period you are welcome to spray it again with the Bifen. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
