DIY INSECT KILLER FOR YOUR LAWN | BEST Lawn BUG Killer | BIFEN IT

Today's video will cover how I control insects in my lawn. I like to practice DIY pest control because it's much cheaper and can be just as effective as hiring a pest control service. The product I'm using in today's video is called Bifen IT. Bifen controls over 75 different insects including ants, mosquitoes, and fleas. It's important that you rotate between insecticides because if you treat with one product over the course of several generations of insects, they can develop a resistance to your products. The other product I use is called Permethrin. Make sure you always put down at least 1/2 of water after you make your applications.

NOTE: It was brought to my attention that it would be even more beneficial to rotate modes of action on your insecticides as opposed to just active ingredients. With that being said, I suggest using Dominion as your secondary product. Link is below. Thanks for watching!

It was brought to my attention that it would be even more beneficial to switch modes of action on your insect program instead of just active ingredients! I’ve added another option in the description! Thanks for watching guys! More to come next week!

Looking great sir. I took my reel mower to get a grind on the reel and bed knife can’t wait to get it back and enjoy the mow.

The lawn looks great! I scalped two weeks ago and was seeing really good results until two days ago when we had freakish below freezing temps for 2 consecutive nights.

bifen needs to be watered in right after application or the product can sit and water at a later time

There is no pharmacological difference between Bifenthrin and Permethrin. Both are pyrethroids so insect resistance to one will offer them the same resistance to the other. Permethrin is a very old and over used chemical so if bugs are resistant they are likely resistant to permethrin. Bifen is better for lawns because of its extended residual. It is not really water soluble and remains bound to soil longer. Permethrin works well for misting it is very effective for flying insects. I have also found it works well indoors especially in coat closets. It provides year round protection against clothes moths. A good insecticide combo to alternate with on lawns is Bifen IT and acelepryn or Bifen IT and imidacloprid.

What do you mean by “changing modes of action as opposed to …”? Thanks for the video. What type of grass is that? Looks like a golf course.

[antoinecorey]

What tip did you use for putting down the bifen it?!? Thanks in advance

[kentfallin]

What part of Texas are you in? I’m in Whitehouse. Did you play ball at Letourneau?

[myrnacouch]

Does It get rid of fleas and mites in lawn

I'm reading so much conflicting information about watering-in the Bifen after application, some say it should not be applied if rain is forecast within 2-3 hours as it needs time to dry and bind to the grass.... do you have a reliable source (like maybe from the manufacturer) that says it must be watered in immediately after application as I can not seem to find that information in the instruction leaflet that came with the product... I am applying it to control Chinch bugs

Thanks for any more detailed information you can share

Cheers
