Has anyone used Bifen to kill clover mites and, if so, did it?

It says it kills them. I haven't used it for them specifically but it works for everything I have used it on.

Yes this product does take care of them as well as mealy bugs etc. I have found that sprinkling the product onto the soil and then watering it in works quite well. I had mites as well as aphids on a hibiscus and it worked to eradicate them all.

I've had great success using it in early spring. This is the BEST product ever for keeping our crape myrtles free of crape myrtle aphids. Have not had to deal with that problem since I started using the Bayer Advanced product. Best to know the application AMOUNTS you'll need for the number and size of your plants. I had to buy more the first time I used it.

Yes, Red Clover works very well. The benefits are seen after a couple of months.

I did not have that particular problem. I did not find the product very effective at keeping "critters" away from my garden. I will not purchase it again.

I checked the label and it says that it does kill Japanese Beetles ( adults ) I have not had any here but it has kept all bugs and things off my plants. I love it.

Hello Carol, I have been using Bifen for several years. This stuff is great however I wouldn't say it's a repellant. Many insects will go about their daily lives and for the most part ignore the biffen residue. But once they cross the barrier you have sprayed they will die within a short amount of time.

Randy, From my understanding this may not be the best for spider mites. Try a spray with the active ingredient BIFEN or a home remedy with rosemary. Those will be easier on plants and it may take several applications to get any eggs. Good luck!

Bifen will kill any bug. Just mix 1.oz of concentrate for every two gallons. Spray every 4 days for about 3 weeks and then once a week.

I have a yard that backs up to open space where the voles live. They were going after bulbs etc. in my yard. I had been using warfarin under my deck before I knew what was coming into the yard. Warfarin did not work but the voles loved it. So I used it as a feeding station under my deck since they were coming regularly and feeding on it. (I had a lattice around the deck so our dog could not get to the poison.) I was having a problem with the voles eating the motomco so I sweetened the "pie" by thinning some honey and coating the motomco. I have not gotten rid of the voles but seem to have fewer bothering the yard. I also was fortunate to be able to see some of their burrows out back so I put some motomco in the entrance to their burrow just before a cold period with snow. This also seemed to help. However, I fear it is going to be a battle to get the voles to eat the bait and not the taste things in the garden. I do not put the poison out where the birds or other animals can get to it.

I have not but, I've been using it on moles and it does not work for anything. At first it seemed to have worked but now, all of them are back. This was a total waste of money.

Yes, I had success this past spring with one application on select areas. And, it did not harm my native carpet/St. Augustine but in areas where the "stickers" had taken over I had bare ground, of course the grass soon covered. But, it appears that now (fall) is actually the perferred time to treat as the seeds (spurs) were probably already produced at the time of my application. I'm going to broadcast with my tractor/atv sprayer over the entire yard this month to cover the areas missed earlier by the spot spraying.

This product works great--it works by the plant taking in the insecticide up thru the roots & leaves-- versus spraying it directly on the plant. Probably need to do it again in 12 months as this is a common problem with hibiscus!

I don't honestly know If it were myself and its not I'd put it down ASAP I don't see any real problem . I've sprayed my lawn with diazinon Saturday morn and then put down this grub killer that afternoon harmed , nothing but the bugs as far as I could tell (: They were not at all happy .. Maybe someone here is a chemist or exterminator Pro and can tell you better then I ?

I treated my lawn last year and sprinkled it among my roses and rose of Sharon-they LOVE to MULTI-MATE in the new opening roses--I HATE Japanese beetles!!! I also squish any I can get my hands on-literally- and have also found a direct blast of raid will kill the beetles already on your plants. the treatment did seem to work on the grass. 2 yrs. ago they were SO invasive; last year not quite as bad. I've only seen a couple this year-so far! good luck.

I have a feral community that had a real problem..I was able to eliminate the problem using Conquer and Archer insecticide. To eliminate the larvae I use beneficial nematodes from arbico organics 3x a year in April, July and Oct... FYI I live in the NY area.
