Bifenthrin I/T 7.9F
Bifenthrin I/T 7.9F
Bifenthrin I/T 7.9F, manufactured by Quali-Pro, is a flowable liquid insecticide that also works as a termiticide product to eliminate numerous pests such as termites infesting the inside and outside of your home, livestock areas, and lawn.
This flowable product belongs to the pyrethroid chemical class meaning it is a man-made version of pyrethrin, which attacks the central nervous system of the pest leading to a faster elimination.
Bifenthrin I/T 7.9F is a long-lasting residual product that is compatible with most herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, and liquid fertilizer products. This is further seen with its no-odor formulation with no visible residue decreasing the amount of damage inflicted upon plants.
Tools Needed
Bifenthrin I/T 7.9F may be used with either a hose-end sprayer, sprinkling can, or handheld pump sprayer. For trench treatments, you will need to use a bucket, wheelbarrow, and a piece of digging equipment like a shovel or pick-axe.
Do not apply by air.
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how much Bifenthrin I/T 7.9F to use by calculating the square footage of the treatment area. To find this, measure the length and width of the treatment site in feet and multiply (length X width = square footage). The application rate for indoor structures and buildings and on modes of transportation uses 0.02% to 0.06% suspension (0.33 to 1 oz. of Bifenthrin I/T 7.9F per gallon of water). Applications to lawns will use 1 oz. of product per gallon of water per 1,000 sq. ft. Subterranean termites use the 0.06% emulsion rate (3 quarts of product with 99.25 gallon of water). Refer to the label for specific application rates. Do not apply as a broadcast application to the interior surfaces of homes.
- Step 2: In your selected sprayer, fill halfway with the required amount of water, add the measured amount of Bifenthrin I/T 7.9F, and pour in the remaining half of water. Close the sprayer lid and agitate until solution is evenly mixed.
- Step 3: All outdoor applications must be limited to spot or crack and crevice treatments except for treatments to soil, vegetation around structures, lawns, turf, other vegetation, and building foundations up to a maximum height of 3 feet. Indoor treatments must be applied with low-volume application equipment as a general surface, spot, or crack and crevice treatment. During indoor surface applications, do not allow dripping or run-off to occur. Keep all children and pets off the treated area until dry.
Where to Use
Bifenthrin I/T 7.9F can be used in and around homes, commercial and industrial buildings, recreational areas, athletic fields, lawns, ornamentals, greenhouses, in livestock and poultry houses, sidewalks, driveways, patios, porches, food handling establishments, warehouses, grain mills, hospitals, structural surfaces (eaves, windows, doors), around foundation walls, crawl spaces (inside of structure), on flowers, foliage plants, non-bearing fruit and nut trees, shrubs, ornamental trees in interior and exterior plantscapes including those in hotels, office buildings, shopping malls, and others, basement floors, carports, entrance platforms, and slabs.
Do not apply in nurseries, sod farm turf, golf course turf, grass grown for seed, pets, crops, sources of electricity, firewood, food, milkrooms, foodstuffs, food-contacting surfaces, food utensils, water supplies, areas where food is exposed, in patient rooms, any rooms occupied by the elderly or infirm, in classrooms, libraries, sport venues, other institutional facilities, plants being grown for sale or other commercial use, and plants used in commercial seed production.
When to Use
Use Bifenthrin I/T 7.9F when sites are not occupied and all food-handling equipment is removed prior to application. This product can be used as a preventative against pest activity, which is typically during the spring and summer months.
Apply this product on calm, warm days when rainfall and wind is not forecasted for at least 24 hours after application. When treating indoors, we recommend waiting several hours to allow the product to have enough time to dry before allowing children, pets, and other individuals from reentering.
Safety Information
Bifenthrin I/T 7.9F is safe to use around children or pets when applied according to the product label instructions. Always wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when mixing or applying this product.
Do not allow people or pets to contact contaminated areas or reoccupy contaminated areas of the structure until the cleanup is complete and until sprays have dried on treated surfaces.
All equipment, benches, shelving, and other surfaces in food-processing plants, bakeries, cafeterias, and other facilities which food will contact must be washed after treatment. Clean food-handling equipment or processing equipment and rinse completely with fresh clean water.
Special Considerations
Bifenthrin I/T 7.9F is not intended as a space spray. This product will not discolor or otherwise harm surfaces that water along will not discolor or otherwise harm.

Keith's Pro Tips | "Bifenthrin I/T 7.9F can be tank mixed with insect growth regulators and other pesticides. Physical compatibility may vary with different combinations of products, so prepare a small-scale (pint or jar) test sample. Try reversing the order of addition or increasing the amount of water if the combination is not compatible using the listed order. After increasing the amount of water, if the mixture is found to be compatible, it is necessary to recalibrate the sprayer for a higher volume application." |
