- I have tons of insects in my lawn, making it difficult to mow or even spend time in the lawn with my family. Today I decided to take my lawn back by spraying an insecticide - Bifenthrin. Within a few hours I had zero insects attacking me.

Great video I have the same problem with those things, they’re annoying when cutting grass, also have crane fly’s. I’ll try that product out as I noticed crane fly on the label while watching video.
Great product and thanks for sharing!
Thanks boss
Love your video bud! Keep it going!
I’m starting to notice some bugs on my lawn that are similar to what you described.. I haven’t done a bifen app this year and need to get after it. Last season I went with 1oz per M since that covers pretty much everything. I was applying this monthly and it did a pretty good job of keep mosquitoes out of my yard. I’ll probably do the same this year...
Love the tip on taking off/putting on the backpack sprayer. Great idea!! As for your Ortho hose end sprayer, you could try soaking the nozzle tip end in vinegar or sneak it in the dish washer. (Just don't get caught.😎) Never tried it, but worth a shot before you toss it I suppose. As always, keep'm coming and can't wait to see what you have in store for us next. 🤗
Yeah I'll give it a shot, thanks for the tip!
I need to look into getting some myself.. so many things on the need/want list.🤷♂️
The bifen was something like $13 at Menards, there is likely a similar product for a similar price at Lowes and Home Depot
Ive gotta get one of those sprayers. Don't worry I call the TLC channel and they are coming to organize your garage. hahaha Cheers dude
How well has the Bifen Compare N Save been controlling the insects??
You’re favorite sprayer is probably clogged. I cut an old milk jug put in soapy dish water, soak the sprayer tips (in you’re case the sprayer nozzle, adjust it to different settings), and clean the tank, rinse, then vinegar & water. , rinse & let dry. Give it a try. That’s how I clean my sprayers & wand tips. Need to rinse thoroughly, this stuff will clog up the little measuring thing … not a lot you can do about that, it clogs in the inside tube…this product does work. I also use the weed killer. Good products.
FYI Bifenthrin Does not work well on fleas if at all. Save your money!!
The jumpers are Fleas, they are blackish and turn red when had a blood meal.
I had a flea infestation in 2018, I recognize fleas
Those little things may be springtails. Did you ever identify the insect? Did you have success in getting rid of them?
Great video. Do we have to water after? How long take to mow after the application?
I didn't see anything on the label about watering in or mowing after. I didn't water it in but it did rain about 12 hours later. I mowed about 40 hours later. So far no bugs, as soon as 2 hours after I sprayed
A leafhopper is similar to a grasshopper. They have more defined wings giving them an almost moth look. Wisdom TC is similar to what you have from Tractor Supply. It can be mixed with Tempo SC ultra for an ultimate bedbug killer. Crossfire can only be bought on the Internet. That one's not recommended for lawn treating. There's a little black bee that is called a sweat bee. That could be what you have. Remember, these chemicals can kill pollinators and destroy honeybees.
Thumbs up 👍
Nice shirt 👍
Just got the same product. Wondering how long it lasts. I usually use termidor. But tried Bifen this time.
How well did the Compare N Save work???
Did you notice less mosquitoes with this application?
So it’s basically one fl ounce per gallon? That’s what mine directions said
Depends on the pest but in general it appears that it's 0.5-1 FL oz per gallon for 1000 sq ft per the label
Good rule of thumb is just 1 oz per gallon of water, will kill everything for 3 to 6 months
If it rains after I spray my yard was it a complete waste?
Gotta know the weather report...
How did the bifenethrin work for you?
So far so good for me I use it indoors
@Kecia Hayes Thats great,I'm gonna buy some and try it outdoors....
Spittle bugs is likely what you’re dealing with
Nothing worse than bugs outside driving you back into the house
Right? Within hours of application they stopped showing up though. I'll probably need a different product to control them long term since they arent listed on the label, but thats what Menards is for
Is it safe for cats & dogs
If you use the product correctly and per the labels instructions it is safe for pets and humans ONCE DRIED do not let anybody be around the treated area while it's wet and wear a good amount of PPE I spray inside and outside and my lawn so I use a respirator mask just a little white disposable one with a filter in it works, chemical resistant gloves, long sleeve shirt and pants, goggles that cover around your eyes chemical resistant boots and make sure to clean all your equipment and yourself after application
Is it pet friendly?
When it's completely dry...
did you ever find out what the small black bugs were? i am infested. the bite and dig into your skin.
They're a midge fly
The tiny black ones are no-see-ums. Midge flies are the size of mosquitos
@@DRK_BBQ biting midge is 1-3mm, mosquito is up to 15mm
Yep I'm wrong, I don't know what I'm thinking of. I'll blame it on lack of sleep. Sorry boss, I appreciate your input
@@DRK_BBQ no worries, I thought they were no seeums also. Our exterminator told me they were called Egyptian midge flies. Supposedly.
I don't think it's any of my business if it is bi or not.
Just let it live its best life!
'Canned air' is what they advise here for clearing nozzles so silly persons don't blow through them with their mouths.
what would you alternate it with?
Depends on what you want to control
@@DRK_BBQ the same mites. I have been seeing some dark mites(?) what I can only describe as antennas coming out of their heads under my bermuda and I think they are eating my lawn. Seeing dead brown spots with the dead bermuda blades clumped together. When I would take my dog out, I can feel them jumping on my legs.
@@Alex-ss4bk that sounds like chiggers or fleas. You would need to check the label for those
@@DRK_BBQ thank you, can they do damage to my lawn?
@@Alex-ss4bk it really depends on what the insects you're describing actually are. If they are fleas, midges, or something like that (pest to humans) they will not hurt your your lawn. If they are chinch bugs, they will 200% wreck grass. See if you can snag either a pic of one or grab one and take it to your local extension office.
I hate to break it to you but using bifen alone will not solve your problem. You will have minimal results spraying bifen out of a flow zone or any other back pack for that matter. You need to add in along with the bifen a product the alternator breaks the life cycle of mosquitoes and other insects. Most of these liquid insecticides are better applied with a mister blower. Still and solo make mister blowers used by most professionals. You will get more distribution of the product applied and more coverage in trees and shrubs were the pests live.
Thanks for the info. So far the bifen is working but I need to do some research to figure out what these gnat things are, then get a product that works best for them. I will still be using the FlowZone since I already have it and cant afford a mister or fogger.
Fish Duck what other product do you recommend besides the Biden?
Lazy Lawns ... I found something called a fungus gnat but they seem a little to big from what your talking about. I’m sure I have the same thing, they are very tiny, black and are all in your face when you cut the grass. They say the fungus gnat goes for the nose, mouth and eyes when cutting grass because of the warmth and moisture from your breath. Unless the photos are really blown up to show detail they just seem to big.
So bifen does kill millipieds
@@PatroneBambino Its suppose to,mix it with Nyguard IGR,it's an insect growth regulator...
