Beautiful property man. Saw a lake in background. Little slice of heaven.
(This was a reply to another comment but it felt important to add it to the main comments) I am a pest control technician and you definitely want to wear a respirator along with safety goggles, long sleeve shirt and pants and a hat. Any pesticide even the low toxicity ones can still be harmful if breathed in or gets on your skin. If you do get it on your skin make sure to wash off with soap and water. Water alone will not get it off. Please be careful. Exposure is a very real thing and can sneak up on you
At my job they spray something for mosquitoes it was around my table since the day I have very bad sore throat and cough I believe it was from the spray. Every time they spraying mosquitoes in NYC everyone starts coughing and sneezing, they call it allergy but I believe is the stuff.
@@SanyYugo2020 As in an allergy to something else in the environment? Because you be allergic to it and experience physical corrosive effects at the same time.
Just about any foreign substance has the capacity to trigger an allergy since they are (essentially) an.... overly enthusiastic immune response. But, I agree. The spray probaby irritates mucosa independent of an allergy response.
The takeaway: you can be hit with a double whammy.
As a med student, I have 2 suggestions if it's really bothering you or anyone else. 1.) See your doctor for reaction and, more importantly, get verified documentation of how it's affecting everyone. 2.) Check the OSHA laws in your state because you may have a claim.
@@KirstenMarie_MS3 it is more than two weeks, now they even find out something in our water is called LEGIONELLA BACTERIA I'm very upset
@@SanyYugo2020 That's pretty normal. There are something like 50 or 60 different species that make up the genus of Legionella bacteria. The only one that is of clinical significance to humans is L. pneumophila. People comonly get it from poorly maintained air conditioning units.
If you don't mind my asking, what do you do for a job?
But like I said, if you want to pursue making formal complaints, you should start by seeing your doctor, if you haven't already. OSHA and any other claims will require proof that your health is being impacted significantly.
Feels like the worst sunburn you ever got , then you get a headache, then sleeping becomes very hard. 100% agree with wearing PPE
Yep been doing this for years its the best mosquito control. You can buy bifenthrin at tractor supply or a feed store also
👌. That’s a nicely kept piece of property
Thank you. I've quit my pest Co.and we'll save so much money doing this myself
THANKS FOR A GREAT VIDEO. I have a horrible mosquito problem here in rural Houston and at my paces in Louisiana. Thi s will be a awesome investment...
Boiiiii
You head ahh go to sleep
I have his same exact setup! It works unbelievably here in Savannah. 1oz. Bifen per gallon of water works fine.
He put 6 oz for 3 and 1/2 gallons. Which sounds a lot stronger. DOESN'T wear a mask. Makes me wonder of the consequences on his health
@HEADBANGRR yeah same man. I started working pest control recently, and none of our guys were mask. I do most the time but some days where im at its soooo incredibly hot its almost not feasible. We do mix at 1 oz to 1 gallon tho. This guys mix is crazyyy strong
Great video and great information
Awesome video thanks … went on Amazon and bought one … different pesticides available here in Canada!
Have you ever used a chemical called Pounce 384EC? It’s an insecticide here in Canada. The main ingredient is permethrin. Curious if you have knowledge of, or experience with it?
I've been using bifen for a few years now for mosquitoes. I use it in a hose end sprayer and mix a little spreader sticker in it also
I’ve heard only good things about Bifen IT. Got some on order.
Add some permethrin into your mix and you’ll cover the entire kit and caboodle
Such a GREAT Video ! Very Informative , Just got the same set up !! Thanks SO Much !!
Pesticide applicator here. Public Service Announcement - READ THE LABEL!!!! The label says to use proper ppe. Respirator long pants gloves etc...
I use a pump sprayer. Do I need to be using a respirator with that? It doesn’t hand in the air like that stuff but I spray 3-4 times a year.
Yeah, they put that on the label so they can't get sued if you get cancer from their product.
Not many products still require a respirator for application or mixing ,I don't have a single product I use that requires a respirator
@brasshouse9822 it depends on the product label
Thank for sharing this video
Inam thinking DIY starting next spring. It would pay for itself in 1 season
It is 1 oz per gallon. Also good to add an IGR with Bifen I/t. IGRs like Tekko, Gentrol, Archer, etc
Tekko is the bomb for skeeters, Bifen it , which is the water based product does not do well through rain ,Xts has far better coverage through the elements.
Holy cow … thanks for showing everyone what NOT to do!!!…wear a respirator, long sleeves, long pants and gloves! DO NOT SPRAY ANYTHING THAT IS FLOWERING!!! Read the label folks! Follow mixing and application rates. This is why you should use a licensed professional!
I’m guessing your upset he’s sharing secrets
lol CRY
@@penknight8532 and people wonder why cancer is rampant and pollinators are on the verge of collapse. the mentality that if it doesn't kill you in 1/2 hour it's safe is dumb
Wrong
Stihl foggers we're a fantastic investment to my grandpa's pest and mosquito control business. Worth the price.
no see ums are out all afternoon even in hot sun. im in Canada and they showed up a few years ago and i have woods that have some wet spots in spring.
Great Video
Thanks for the info 👍🏾
Suspend polyzone works pretty good! Talstar is good, but doesn’t hold up in the elements! I also try to get closer to the foliage and go in a circular pattern . I’m super cautious about pollinating insects! 0 tolerance for killing them. Setting up larvae surveillance is crucial
how does it effect wells
What nozzle speed setting do you use?
What was the name of the website to get the chemicals? Also I have my CAT 3 license from the department of agriculture to buy and use RUP chemicals, so maybe Lesco?
Hubby uses 1 chemical for mosquitos and a separate spraying with another chemical for the larvae.
DIY is an option, but ensure you read the label.
Is the odor potent?
Thank you!
So I'm assuming it's ok to spray patio furniture? You're very generous when spraying compared to what my pesticide company does! Thanks for the video!
Yes, our furniture is still in great condition. I wouldn’t soak it down but a light mist is fine. We pressure h our cushions a couple times a year since we leave out.
As long as the most hits it it’s fine. People assume it needs to be drenched and dripping to work 😂
Is it ok to spray this in a garage as well? Live in houston, and mosquitos are like the plague!
Have ton of frogs . Have any recommendations to move them out ? Its bad . Any ideas . SO LOUD .
I would look more towards Taurus S/C. It has UV inhibitors to make it last longer outdoors. Bifen I/T is more for indoor applications I think.
Both are on the label
can i use a black flag fogger with bifen and growth regulator?
Does this help with fungus gnats
What did ya charge per month to treat a property for mosquitoes
How many onces per gallon do you use ?
When providing tips on how to do treatments makes sure you tell them about wearing at least a half-face respirator and goggles or a face shield to prevent inhaling blow-back or it getting in your eyes/face. Wear long pants, long sleeve shirt and nitrile/latex gloves. Bifen isn't overly dangerous but you do it enough and get enough on you over time it can be dangerous. Always wear the proper PPE when applying pesticides.
And remember to take your Boosters!
can you spray this with a chemical sprayer or does it need to be a mister
Thanks for doing this video. I have a quick question: Do I need a fogger? Or can I still do it with a sprayer? Thank you!
You can use a 2 gallon weed sprayer as well. We use it in Michigan, and it works great
I’m curious on why he thought it was a good idea to not wear PPE? Am I missing something? Is Bifen I/T safe to inhale, eye contact, skin contact? Concerning.
Is it harmful for you to breath in the mist when you are spraying without a mask?
I have dogs and many fruit trees and vegetables I’m guessing this it’s not safe
Bifen is not derived from a plant or flower
Bifen (Bifenthrin) is a synthetic version of Pyrethrin
Pyrethrin is the natural version that is derived from a plant / flower
Have you ever used a chemical called Pounce 384EC? It’s an insecticide here in Canada. The main ingredient is permethrin. Curious if you have knowledge of, or experience with it?
@@bigdaddydplantinglotsoftrees sorry, I have not.
Great video. Questions. 1. I have maple trees well over 40ft all over my backyard do I need to cover the entire height. Don’t think there’s a blower that can reach that high. 2. I have a pool where some of these branches hang over. If I spray these branches, should I worry about it dripping into my pool?
Always wondered this myself. I work in pest control i will spray around someones pool as close as i can. But if theres branches that hang directly over i DO NOT spray them because i dont want that product getting in yout pool man. I touch and breathe in enough of that shit by accident everyday no one else should. Ive never had a customer complain about the overhead branches i didn't spray over the pool but at the end of the day my man. The best thing to do would ge cut those branches away and maybe back from the pool. Ive seen so many people that have jumanji esque jungle like vegetation all in backyards going "why are the mosquitoes so bad" a landscaper and a pest control technique are the best combo to get rid of both if you got the money. I just do both myself
Spray the under foliage on trees for mosquitos 🦟
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Its my first year spraying and having a few challenges. I have a few questions if you can advise on, I would appreciate:
1. I have a heavily wooded perimeter yard (pine / oak + vegetations) how deep do you need to go into the woods ?
2. My main desire is to be able to sit on my raised deck (looked a little similar to yours) what distance beyond the deck perimiter do you need to spray
3. I bought (knowing little other than amazon reviews) a product call "Stop the bites" - I just checked the ingredients and it does not contain bifantirin - did i just waste my money. Is bifanterin the way to go ?
4. I have a non-stilh blower and the flow head is 1, 2, 3, 4. Any idea of the flow rate for the stilh at a setting of 1.8 (I will search it out if you don't know of the top of your head.
Again, many thanks and good luck on your TH-cam channel. I see you have past the golden 1K mark.. now onto 10k.
FYI - from the North East
Know Setting 1.8 is 2.3L/MIN or 77.8 oz
*Do you alternate with other pesticides (because bugs immune system can get used to it). If so, which others do you alternate treatments with?*
How if they die..?
Permethrin and pyrethrum
Whats the IT stand for ??? I use talak 7..9 bif for my home
I/T = insecticide/termiticide
Great info. Does this work at controlling mosquitoes? Can someone share your experience?
I have been using this product for about 3 years. I live in NE PA on 7 acres. Half wooded and half cleared. You name a bug and I have had it. I am allergic too bees as well. I found a local pest control person that was semi retired and he got tired of coming to our place to spray. He told me to buy this stuff and do what he does. I bought a gallon and it will last me probably 5 years. I prefer to just use my backpack pressure sprayer and not do the fogging thing. I just spray the house and the perimeter around it as well. I use a very fine mist setting except for hitting the higher spots on the house, then it is what ever setting hits the highest points. FYI, there were times when we would have hundreds of stink bugs on our house and would kill 20-30 stink bugs in our house on any given day. Hope this helps?
Thank you for adding a beneficial comment! Glad you have had success with it also!
@@davesauerzopf6980 how often do you treat your property
Bifen is a sythentic version of pythrin
I’ve read this will kill bees so spraying anything in bloom or flowering should be avoided. Thoughts ?
It will, I just started with a company that uses stop the bite it is a lot safer and friendlier if you care about the pollinators ask companies what they use and research it you be surprised how harmful it is to the non pests. In short yes if they are around flowers do not spray.
I unfortunately live next to a marsh with standing water, I have been looking at all alternatives and have been in the mindset of getting a few mosquito magnets and a sprayer set up similar to yours but do you have any other ideas? For clarification I’m in Alaska so these things are basically bloodsucking birds and I work outside with animals all day so these things have to go. Any and all ideas are welcome thanks.
I think you are on the right track with mosquito magnets and a sprayer will help a ton.
@@A4Outdoors I am in pest control in NJ and each state has it's own restrictions on insecticides. I would google for larvicides that you might use on the marsh. Altosid is pretty good.
can you use a fogger for ticks?
It will help with ticks. You can use this granular also: amzn.to/3xUOnnR
I know this video was a few years ago, but will this spray work on lake flies?
Nope, not a few years later. Won’t work today.
I have been using this stuff for years. My pest company asked how did I get it, cause you need a license to by it
I didn't know I just knew it worked
Many pest control products are no longer regulated
or just call your county vector control if you have one
Question about once it's applied how quickly will you notice the effect. 1 day 3 days immediately etc. We have a place near the water where we come every once in awhile and honestly the bugs are so tuff to be around we can not enjoy the actual property
About 5 days I would say. This stuff here is using works very well but only last about 30days there is a newer product out call scion insecticide. It last about 90 days and does a great job. What I have done is mixed the two. Scion is a bit more expensive but you only use .6oz per gallon
@@d4hoppyscion is basically nuclear war compared to bifen 😂
Always a fan of others educating others. If you’re going to do so though you shouldn’t be disregarding important safety measures and proper spraying technique. As a previous pest control/mosquito control business owner you claim to be, respirators and long sleeves/pants should always be worn especially using a backpack mister. You’re just walking through mist clouds of bifenthrin… On top of that you’re spraying flowers in bloom. Did you even obtain a license in the past? Perhaps you’re just being careless because it’s your own property, who knows.
When you pay a pest control company for service you’re also paying for knowledge and safety.
Just because you can purchase the products yourself doesn’t mean you SHOULD do it yourself. Educate
Not to mention spraying all the furniture on his property.
Is that unit good as a leaf blower as well?
No, I would not use for blowing leafs too.
That is exactly what it is. You can shut off the water to the blower and use it as a normal leaf blower.
@@A4Outdoors yes you can.
It would be considered an entry level (prosumer) leaf blower. It only has about 500 CFM and 200 MPH vs a true professional blower will be 900-1,000 CFM. Can you use it? Yeah - I do. It just takes a lot longer to move the leaves but I only have 1/3 of an acre and don't want to spend the money on another Stihl just for seasonal leaves.
I need something for yellow jackets and wasps they are everywhere in South Georgia. But especially bad on my property in cordele. I kill multiples inside every day and then when I go outside they're flying all over the place. Every time I find a nest I hit it with the loss hornet spray and they leave it alone. They made a huge nest in the back door last year. Would this work to kill them?
It should help.....
You need to eliminate the nest. Horner spray kills some but it won’t kill the nest. Use a product called termidor. That’s labeled for wasps. You can use it as a perimeter treatment as well. It last a very long time and has a great residual.
+1 for Termidor! I use it around my house (read the label - its very very bad for fish) love the stuff. No spiders, no ants, no roaches at my house.
@@mondavou9408 thanks man I sure will!
Then seem slide alot of over spray
what can you suggest for 1 acre of standing water?
Ideally, preventing the standing water but you have probably already tried that. You could try amzn.to/43phLO9.
You can purchase mosquito dunks and throw them in the water.
Thanks. Is it pet friendly?
Bifen it will be one of the number one recommended chemicals to be used around your pets to keep them safe. It is made from chrysanthemum flower petals.
does this really work? is it affective?
edit: seems to be blowing way too hard. it needs to make a lot of smoke. not blow so hard
Smoke? Wtf?
Its a water mist with Bifen.
That is a sprayer not a fogger. A fogger atomize the liquid transforming it into a very dense fog. That's why a fogger is called fogger.
Actually, It’s a mist blower.
@@A4Outdoors 😂
I might have missed this but which nozel flow rate do you have on the mister?
I think it is on 1.8 ...... I will look and let you know if different.
I don't know if that's healthy . look for alternative. please. you sprayed everything. just spray on the perimeter?
I've wanted to do this for ages. I react very badly to mosquito bites. Called a place to do my .4 acre property for the season. They quoted four visits at $1000+ per visit. Well over $4K.... closer to $5k with taxes.... for one season of permethrin fogging!?!? I can get a doctor here for a lot less than that. WTF!?!?
They charge an arm and a leg.
I appreciate your experience. I’m wondering how you would compare the product you’re using there as compared to a Permetherin based product?
@joealta3450 Bifen, being a synthetic derivative of pyrethrins, and permethrin, a member of the pyrethroid family, both work by targeting the nervous system of insects. While Bifen is a man-made version of pyrethrins derived from chrysanthemum flowers, permethrin is commonly used in various products such as cattle ear tags, flea collars, spot-on treatments for dogs, and for treating scabies and head lice in humans. Each product may have specific applications and effectiveness, depending on the target pest and the formulation used.
Use suspend inside
If im using a fogger im def wearing ppe
yeah yeah yeah
How often do you spray? and how long do you think it would keep bugs like mosquitos away from an outdoor area?
About every 3 weeks for both questions.
@@A4Outdoors Great video and apparently some people are not listening while watching your video because they are asking questions to things that you clearly say in your video 🙄 Beautiful property and views you have. I too live in N.C. all my life 👍
Does this kill beneficial bugs like honey bees?
If sprayed directly on…. Yes. It is very important to research and spray correctly so you do not kill the honey bees.
Don't spray flowering plants. This will limit contact to pollinators.
Can we stay at your house on vacation?
We had this done on our property and it killed all the dragonflies also. It seemed like mosquitos kept coming back in larger and larger amounts. Its almost Sept and they are normally gone, but we still have tons of them. Our dog also got violently ill from it.
Mosquito larvae is what comes back.
This will kill the mosquitoes that are alive but the mosquito eggs and mosquitoes outside of your perimeter sprayed will creep back in.
Every 2 weeks is what Mosquito Joe recommended for us
Yes because dragonflies and other insects are benificial and you have just wiped out all of them.
Great video but please, please, please wear a respirator, pants and long sleeves when spraying bifenthrin it will kill you from breathing it and getting it on your skin.
Many pest control companies use a combination of Bifen with the addition of Poly (I'm assuming to help it stick and last a bit better). Do you have any recommendations on use of Poly and if so, what type should be considered?
I’m not familiar with Poly.
Does poly stop them from having babies?
@@leoneljoseph6357 No, its a surfactant that helps the main chemical like Bifen stick to the plants and surfaces of things.
@Heinz Ketchup do you just mix it with the bifen?
Yes, you can use a surfactant to increase the absorption rate of the Bifen. If you're using a lawn hose sprayer you should purchase blue lawn dye to add to the mixture. This allows you to see whether or not you're spraying the product, or just hose water.
I just sprayed Bifen 25.1 % and tripled the mixture (1/3 oz per gal)
And the mosquitoes are still flying??? I used 1 oz
They have to land on the foliage or object where sprayed. It usually will not kill them mid air.
@@A4Outdoors I ordered some Kekko to mix with the Bifen and hopping for the best? I did read up on both and are one of the best. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼
If you have flowering plants, do not put the stuff on there. It will contribute to bee colony collapse. Use it everywhere else
Howcome it won’t let me buy this on amazon????
It should. I just checked the link and it is active. What is it saying?
Is this the same thing as talstar?
Yes, similar product.
No. The end result is the same, but they do different things and are labeled for different things. Talstar is a restricted-use product. Be careful using that.
@@brianmilette it is the exact same active ingredient just the knock off
They recommend .33 - 2.0 oz per gallon. But I am still getting mosquitos. Is 3 oz per gallon working for you? What nozzle setting are you using? I'm in Charlotte.
Yeah, I use about 3 oz per gallon and my nozzle is set on 1.8. Also, pay attention to anything that holds water and empty regularly.
@@A4Outdoors Thanks. I have the smaller Stihl blower and the nozzle adjust knob goes from 1 to 5.
1 to 5 go with #3 setting if you keep up with it. That's about equal to the 1.8 on the Stihl SR430-450👍.
You need to make sure the gutters are clean, lawn mowed regularly, no standing water, no swampy saturated areas in the lawn, and treat the underside of any leaves, bushes, etc. do not treat any flowers or plants that pollinators use for pollen. You will kill the bees.
Adding more bifen doesn’t do anything lol
Will it kill honey bees ?
If sprayed directly ..unfortunately yes.
Use Mavrik insecticide. It’s safe for bees when dried unlike Bifen.
It can also kill bees if you spray where they may land. One should do late evening or very early morning application . Stay away from flowering plants
Yes. Do not treat any plants or trees that pollinators use.
PPE???
So much drift, too.
Bro when he said especially my wife I had to like that video 😂😅
🤣🤣🤣
Excellent video Amigo, but next time... Please safety first. Get 3M respirator with carbon layer for fumes protection, when you spray this product. You don't suppose to breath it. Prevent any health issue. Possible cancer. Be careful. Thanks.
Lets not wear ppe
He’s crazy
Hey bring Nosy now how much is ur rent or mortgage that’s a nice house
If ya gotta ask, “Too much” for you
Here’s a DIY method……get yourself a decent sprayer and some pool filter socks. Then head to the local grocery store. Get yourself one of those large containers or two of minced garlic. By me they are glass jars with the garlic and a pretty decent amount of liquid. Put the pool filter sock over the opening of the sprayer. Careful not to let it fall in. Dump the whole jar of garlic into the sock. Once it drains, tie a knot into the top and drop it in the sprayer. Fill with warm water and then go to town spraying the perimeter of your yard and foliage. If you’re having company do this in the morning. The garlic smell will dissipate but it will keep the mosquitos out. I also used this around my shed Because I had rabbits going under. Drove them away too.
Unnecessary spraying focus on shrubs and solid barrier around home
Or just get a 80 dollar battery operated 2-3 gallon pump sprayer
NO PROTECTION? I BELIEVE THIS MAN'S A FOOL
When applied in a WELL VENTILATED AREA as outside no respirator is needed or required. Read the label.
@@A4Outdoors "Read the label" Okay sure 😁
Is it pet safe?
It is pet friendly.
breathing that stuff in cant be good.
“They” say wearing a respirator while spraying is worse so who knows.
I am a pest control technician and you definitely want to wear a respirator along with safety goggles, long sleeve shirt and pants and a hat. Any pesticide even the low toxicity ones can still be harmful if breathed in or gets on your skin. If you do get it on your skin make sure to wash off with soap and water. Water alone will not get it off. Please be careful. Exposure is a very real thing and can sneak up on you
