Its a great year to break out the Bifen between rainfalls. Mosquitoes are nasty.

I use Bifen every year around the house.I found out it has a shelf life of about 3 years. After then it loses its effectiveness.
What is Bifen?
Bifenthrin………..it's an insecticide.
One of the best and safest insecticides know to man.
Re-search it on line as Bifen IT.
You can buy it on-line or at many feed store.
I've heard rumor of two type but only know of the one.
It put the kill on insects of all kinds and will last a long time when sprayed indoor on concrete.
Recluse spiders, Roaches, Stinging scorpins, crickets.
Suspect it might kill a bird if the bird eats a bifen infested insect???
It's also odorless and leaves no sign of where it's sprayed.
Do not spray where kittys can lick or they will go sick or die fast if they lick the spray. (read the WARNING label BEFORE you use.
Read the label and no need in mixing any stronger than on the label.
They use it in butcher shops and no danger to animals after it drys.
It's a pyrethrin……no danger to animals
I use Bifen/IT all the time here and at deer camp. No wasp or mud dauber nests on my house or in my deer stands! Also, no scorpions, spiders, ants, etc in the house, and is scentless when dry. It works so well that I'm surprised that the gov't hasn't outlawed it! (YET) My pest control Company uses Bifen/XT, which requires a license to purchase. I don't know what the difference is, but both work!
