That chemical really works. I did mine yesterday my yard I have a big yard. I had problems with ants, mosquitoes, and flying bugs. I came out yesterday. I don’t see any ants. I don’t see any mosquitoes. I love this product.
Thanks for the tip, here in the south we have a huge problem with fire ants. As fall arrives the ants seem to bed up under our driveways and sidewalks. We have the very large cockroaches, almost all that come in my basement shop, and die when they cross the bifen.
This product keeps bugs out of your house if you spray around the outside of windows & door frames. If mixed with Permethrin 10 it can control bedbugs with success. I have taken this product to spray under storage buildings to prevent wood rot from termites. It also can be used on trees under pruning sealer to prevent termites. I've had good luck on an old sugar maple.
The mix ratio (2 oz and then fill to the 10 gallon mark) explanation is confusing for the hose-end sprayer bottle. Does this mean you're using a .05 per gallon rate?
Just got my bottle this morning it is August 2nd I will keep you all informed of my aunt problem I've had four different exterminators and they can't get rid of my ants so we'll give it a shot
I love the good that bifenthrin does BUT you should take care not to spray the flowering plants. This is one of the reasons honey bees are disappearing.
Using the hose end sprayer, you say "first fill sprayer 1/2 full, then add 2 oz bifen, then add water to the 10 gal mark" If you've already added water to half mark ....??? it's already at that mark. Am I just not getting something?
Wow, some sites are saying wear eye protection, long sleeves and IF if gets on your skin, rinse 15-20 min. I bought this product from THIS company online. Cant get ahold of them by hone or email to ask Q. But the items I ordered did arrive promptly.
Hi, I sprayed my yard and house all over with bifen.... I sprayed the patio light right outside my door..... so far so good with mosquitos and keeping bugs out, but tonight, 6 days after spraying (no rain for 48 hours after I sprayed) when I was out at night with patio light on, the flies were BAD right at the light... swarming the light.... I sprayed the light and surrounding part of the house by the light... this was the 1st time since I sprayed that I went outside with patio light on..... will the flies that kept hitting the light eventually die off from the residual of the bifen it (7.9%) or is bifen just not effective for flies that are attracted to the light?
If I have a fly infestation in my lawn will this work. I moved to North carolina and it's discusting I can't even sit outside they are all over you and you can see hundreds in the grass. Will this work?
Id go to your states agriculture site. There is free study material for your states applicators license. The first few chapters are on how to read labels.
Hi Judy, It looks like Keith had a brain fart and forgot he already said to fill it half full. In reality you can use as much water as you want just make sure to get even coverage of your property. Best, Solutions
I want to use my Bifenthrin on containerized ornamentals around my property, to treat mites/whiteflies/mealie bugs. I don't want to use a hose end sprayer, I'd prefer to use a tank sprayer, or even a spray bottle. The dilution of "per 1000 ft" has me so confused lol. Should I just dilute it as if I were using it indoors (0.5 oz per gallon)? I appreciate any help you can offer!
Hey, I bought bifen i/t and cutter.... I have a deck in backyard... do you recommend spraying deck down too for mosquito control or only grass areas and bushes/ shrubs? Also do you recommend mixing cutter with the bifen in my chemical sprayer or only use bifen alone in the sprayer at its recommended dose? Thankyou
Hey Keith. Thanks for all the info. Couple of questions… We’ve recently moved to a property that hasn’t been lived on in 20 years. I’ve sprayed twice and it seems the fleas just keep coming. I’ve only sprayed certain areas so far. Am I defeating the purpose by not spraying everything? Can this product go bad?
No .the product bonds to soil and other surfaces within 30 minutes of application.rain won't move the treatment unless the rain is hard enough and persistent enough to move your soil around the house.still prefer to not apply if you know rain is imminent
I live in Hawaii and we have issues with little fire ants. They are hard to control. This product works well on them but I am trying to find out if it can be used on fruit trees like bananas ( a favorite home to little fire ants). I read the label and don’t see specifically if it can be used on fruiting trees. Does anyone know the answer??
Pretty sure the label stated not to use it around any source of food. Vegetable gardens/fruit trees would apply. Look for a more natural product to help with your issue.
I just use mine on pruning or old places pruned to control sugar ants & termites. On roses & junipers, I use neem oil. I do landscaping as a retired business in Virginia.
I personally asked a pest control guy. It's only 70% effective, but it does work. Mixed with Permethrin 10, the rate is 90%. For 100%, use Crossfire, Bedlam Plus, or Apprehend.
WARNING! Proper PPE should be worn while handling this product, as with any hazardous chemical. Always read the label to find out how what PPE should be worn, as well as information about first aid, chemical storage, spill clean up, etc.
Don't use it as a broadcast spray on carpet. It'll stick to your feet even when dry if your bare feet are damp. If you've made this mistake, most will vacuum up. Doesn't warn on cats, but I know Permethrin 10 is toxic to cats.
It doesn't stick to them, however mixed with Permethrin 10 I've had success. It's not good for mattresses. You need Harris aerosol bedbug spray for that. Or you can use Bedlan or Crossfire aerosol.
Weird question but any idea if this will harm car paint? I have a swarm of ants on my 4 cars with thousands of ants walking around and I'd like to retire them before they go back to their nests.
Richard Gorsuch thanks for understanding. I dont know someone's politics and that shouldn't matter. Hope your business is going great if that's what you do! Have a great day.....
@@Cc-nj2zm Hi Jim. Joey is spot on with this one. Regardless of what substances you are actually using, the impression given to the viewer is that you are handling a chemical, and that requires the use of proper PPE as per the SDS. The educational value is appreciated however, please understand that you are setting a poor example for potentially thousands of people, some of who may model your actions and end up harmed by a chemical
Just by quick look, I have hard time to believe that house and garden has ant, roach, spider, flea and tick problems. Perhaps the customer is going through some withdrawal symptoms and sees and feels insects that ain't there?
We mill our bifenthrin down to 5 microns so it stays in suspension well. The milling can double the time it takes to produce a batch at 8 microns but increases product stability. Since we sell to homeowners and a pint last a few years we need the product to be stable on the shelf (and in the garage) for as long as possible.

I've used it in sand effectively before, however the sun kills it pretty fast so I had to keep re-applying. I eventually got the granules instead. If you've got pets, I don't think I'd want them walking on an entire applied surface 24/7 as they lick to clean themselves. You may want to try something safer such as Orthoboric acid 10%+ in powder form.
Brenda, you would apply the same way 1 ounce per gallon to cover a 1,000 square feet of area, depending on the size of the tank you have, a 96 ounce size would be recommended, then you have enough to treat 2 times. www.solutionsstores.com/bifen-it-insecticide
Absolutely, Bifen IT is a great product for controlling mosquitoes in your backyard. www.solutionsstores.com/mosquitoes Here is some information of how to control mosquitoes.
I have an outdoor drain at my basement door. They're attracted to the water in the trap. This runs into the city sewer system. I was told it's a violation to spray that. Use a couple ounces of cooking oil in the trap. It'll float to the top. It'll prevent larvae from mosquitoes.
We have these small piss ants in our kitchen what a pain in the ass lol finally sprayed today with Bifen IT hopefully this product is as good as everyone says
