I have been dealing with Bermuda mites for about a year now and while Bifen IT has made a big dent in the population, I am still battling them. I was curious if mixing the Bifen with NyGuard would do the trick to mostly eradicate them.
Nyguard IGR is not labeled to control Bermuda Mites (eriophyid mite) so would not add any benefit to your treatment. While the active ingrdient bifenthrin is one of the commonly suggested active ingredients to treat for bermudamites and have shown to be an effective treatment, Bifen IT is not specifically labeled for them. We would recommend DeltaGuard G Granules for treating bermudamites at the rate of 2 to 3 lbs per 1000 sq ft. Please view the full product label for more information and application instructions. For addtional non chemcial methods of treatment, here is an article by Oklahoma State University on Bermudagrass & Zoysiagrass Mites for more information.
