Since Bifen XTS is oil-based it will hold up better outdoors than Bifen IT. Bifen XTS also has a higher percentage of active ingredient, so you will use less per application You may also want to take a look at our Fire Ant Control Page for more information on treating and preventing fire ants. Instructions for Fire Ant Control using Bifen XTS are below. Bifen XTS for Fire Ant Mound Treatments: Sprinkle the mound, using 1-2 gallons of dilution, until it is wet and apply to a 4 foot diameter circle around the mound. When treating mounds larger than 12”, use the higher volume. Do not treat in the heat of the day and for optimum results, apply in cool weather, such as in early morning or late evening hours
