Compare-N-Save 7.9% Bifenthrin Concentrate for Insect Control, 8-ounce

I purchased the 32 ounce concentrate back in October 2023 after reading many reviews. I live in NC where we have tons of crane flies that lay their larvae in our grass. I also purchased a 2 gallon ELECTRIC spray tank (got tired of needing to pressurize my other one every 5 minutes--well worth the price and time saving). I wanted something that wouldn't injure bees or birds. After reading through the very confusing directions on what concentration to use in certain areas, I just decided to use the 1ml/gallon. I sprayed every inch of my Bermuda grass, the entire perimeter of our home, the faux stone on our home, around each entry door of our home, our rosebushes, perennials (azaleas, hibiscus, gardenias, daylillies, etc). It has now been 6 weeks since I spent 2 solid days doing only the outside of our home. We have zero grass bugs, flies, spiders, ticks, aphids or crane flies! Hooray! I can now lay down on our lawn and play with my dog without having bugs crawl all over me. Bees, hummingbirds and other birds are all doing well. ***I made sure to spray only the bug sensitive perennials BEFORE any blooms appeared as well as the mulch around the plant to kill the beetle larvae from emerging. I have not done any internal house spraying, but I haven't seen any bugs or spiders inside at all. Very happy with result so far. I'm not sure how long the results will last, (has already lasted 6 weeks and they said "the results will vary," but a 32 ounce concentrate did 5,000 sq feet of lawn, external house, stone, etc. and I have about 8 ounces left. All my neighbors are now looking at this product too! Less bugs for us equal less frogs and snakes attracted to our yard so that our kids can play worry-free.

I live in a bug-prone area (Texas humidity = roach heaven), and I was losing the battle — ants, spiders, fleas, even some wasps hanging around like they pay rent. I got this after a friend swore by it, and now I’m swearing too — just not the same way 😆 Mixed it up in a pump sprayer (1 oz per gallon), hit the baseboards, windows, and the whole perimeter of the house. Within a few hours, dead bugs everywhere. It’s like a massacre happened on my porch. It doesn’t stink like some sprays, dries clear, and doesn’t bother my dogs once it’s dry. Best part? It keeps working. I haven’t seen a live ant in weeks. Not even the bold ones that walk across the kitchen counter like they own it. If you’ve got a pest problem and don’t want to spend $$$ on pest control services, this is a no-brainer. Just use it safely, and don’t let it near fish or water runoff — it’s serious stuff. But damn... it works.

Better priced than many of the others - just as effective. It only leaves white residue on sprayed areas when you don't dilute it properly (instructions on bottle). I worked for a lawn company for a summer and and we used the same chemical (much larger drum) mixed in the tanks on the back of the truck. This was what they sprayed the yards with to control ticks, fleas, mosquitoes (they sprayed the trees and outside walls of house as well). Be careful around your pets and make sure you do your own research. It's effective. I add some dish soap (do a web search for mixing amount) to the mix for the yard to take care of the army worm outbreak as well.

I have been using this for some time and love it. I mix it with distilled water (maybe that's overkill, but I have hard water) and it never leaves stains or residues on all the various surfaces I have sprayed it on. The type of bottle this comes in is the best -- it makes it just so easy to measure out and pour the needed amount. I actually bought a bunch of these bottles to use with other chemicals as well, but they are not cheap. So great value to get it already in this bottle! BUT the listing here is just incorrect or something. I mean, it says 176 gallons from this 32 fl oz bottle -- the standard mixture rate is 1 fl oz makes 1 gallon; doing the math that is... 32 gallons from this 32 fl oz bottle. I guess they are showing you use the minimum mixture rate there, so be aware. I use this product as a general home defense product. Applied at the typical 1 fl oz to 1 gallon rate, spread around the foundation 2 feet in each direction where the foundation and grade meet. Also 2 ft around every doorway and window, spray the eaves and soffit too. Don't forget your garage doors as well, as insects love to get in there. I don't use it indoors, because I don't want to unless absolutely needed, but I am starting to experiment with using it in the garage, as that is a sort-of outdoors location and there is all kinds of random spots bugs love to collect. When applying this way, and comparing to neighbors, it seems very effective. Don't have issues with insects like wasps under the eaves for example. I apply at least once a month, but when there is a lot of insect activity I do it every other week (instructions say you could do it as often as every week, but every other week seems effective enough to me). I try to apply when there will be no rain in 24 hours in each direction (before and after application) to make sure it doesn't get washed off.

Killed our infestation of red wasps fast. One treatment. Great stuff.

Saving me tons of money. Works great. I applied a couple of times because I think it takes a day or two to work but it worked great.

For mole crickets

It didn't work,,,killing them "don't see um" bitting mites ,cos they are still here bitting me,,,,

I had some very small white insects on my plants and found some on my cloths too. I used this and signigicantly the insects have reduced after the useage.

Not very effective against ticks
