Bifen IT Description:

Bifen I/T is a professional strength insecticide/termiticide that can be used to control pests indoors and outdoors on residential, institutional, public, commercial and industrial buildings, lawns, ornamental, parks, recreational areas and athletic fields.

To establish an effective insecticidal barrier with this product the service technician must be familiar with current Termite control practices such as: trenching, rodding, sub-slab injection, coarse fan spraying of soil surfaces, crack and crevice (void) injection, excavated soil treatment, and brush or spray applications to infested or susceptible wood. These techniques must be correctly employed to prevent or control infestations by subterranean Termites such as: Coptotermes, Heterotermes, Reticulitermes and Zootermopsis. The biology and behavior of the species involved should be considered by the service technician in determining which control practices to use to eliminate or prevent the termite infestation. Choice of appropriate procedures should include consideration of such variable factors as the design of the structure, location of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, water table, soil type, soil compaction. grade conditions, and location and type of domestic water supplies and utilities.

Subterranean Termite Control with Bifen IT:

Contamination of public and private water supplies must be avoided by following these precautions: Use anti-backflow equipment or procedures to prevent siphon age of insecticide into water supplies. Do not contaminate cistern or wells. Do not treat soil that is water saturated or frozen or in any conditions where runoff or movement from the treatment area is likely to occur. Note: Crawl spaces are to be considered inside of the structure. Critical Areas: Critical areas include areas where the foundation is penetrated by the utility services, cracks and expansion joints, bath traps and areas where cement construction have been poured adjacent to the foundation such as stairs, patios, and slab additions.

Structures with Wells/Cisterns Inside Foundations:

Structures that contain wells or cisterns within the foundation of a structure can only be treated using the following techniques:

1.Do not treat soil while it is beneath or within the foundation or along the exterior perimeter of a structure that contain a well or cistern. The treated backfill method must be used if soil is removed and treated outside/away from the foundation. The treated backfill technique is described as follows:

• Trench and remove soil to be treated onto heavy plastic sheeting or similar material or into a wheelbarrow.

• Treat the soil at the rate of 4 gallons of dilute emulsion per 10 linear feet per foot of depth of the trench, or 1 gallon per 1.0 cubic feet of soil. Mix thoroughly into the soil taking care to contain the liquid and prevent runoff or spillage.

2. Treat infested and/or damaged wood in place using an injection technique such as described in the Control of Wood Infesting Insects.

Structures with Adjacent Wells/Cisterns and/or Water Bodies:

Applicators must inspect all structures with nearby water sources such as wells, cisterns, surface ponds, streams, and other bodies of water and evaluate, at a minimum, the treatment recommendations listed below prior to making an application.

1. Prior to treatment, if feasible, expose the water pipe(s) coming from the well to the structure, if the pipe(s) enter the structure within 3 feet of grade.

2. Prior to treatment, applicators are advised to take precautions to limit the risk of applying the termiticide into subsureface drains that could empty into any bodies of water. These precautions include evaluating whether application of the termiticide to the top of the footer may result in contamination of the subsurface drain. Factors such as depth to the drain system and soil type and degree of compaction should be taken into account in determining the depth of the treatment.

3. When appropriate, the treated backfill technique can also be used ot minimize off-site movement of termiticide.
