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.

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.

Seems ok, will know for sure in a couple weeks

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.

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

I bought the Concentrate Indoor and Outdoor Insect Control with high hopes. The label promised to keep those pesky bugs at bay for a long time, both inside and outside the house. So, I mixed it up, sprayed it around, and felt like I had finally found the ultimate weapon in my battle against insects. For about a month, everything was perfect. The bugs disappeared. I felt like the king of the insect-free kingdom, basking in my new-found pest-free glory. Then, a month passed. And, well, it’s like the insects read the fine print and decided the vacation was over. I walked outside, and bam! Ants. Spiders. Mosquitoes. It was like the bugs had RSVP'd to a "welcome back" party, and everyone was invited. The outdoor space was crawling with life, and not the kind I wanted. Indoors wasn’t any better. The bugs didn’t exactly stage a dramatic return, but they were definitely creeping back in, like unwanted relatives after a wedding. I had to spray again—only to realize that the "up to 12 weeks of protection" claim was about as solid as a politician’s promise during an election year. So, yeah, it works for a while—like, a solid month of bug-free bliss—but then it’s like the spray just loses all its power, and the insects are back in full force. It’s like you’re renting peace from the bugs instead of owning it outright. Honestly, if you're looking for a permanent solution to your insect woes, this isn’t it. It’s more of a temporary truce. In conclusion, the Concentrate Insect Control does work—just not for the long haul. If you’re okay with turning your yard or house into a bug-free zone for a month and then repeating the process every few weeks, it might be worth it. But if you want something that actually sticks around and gets the job done without having to reapply every few weeks, you might want to keep looking. After all, I can only deal with so many insect reunions.

Have been using this specific product for a long time now and it never disappoints. Pay attention to the mixing directions printed in the pamphlet attached to the bottle and mix according to the type of insects you are defending against. Best when sprayed in non windy conditions so you don't get it on your skin. I find the residual properties of this being an oil base pesticide very effective. Its effectiveness can last for months depending on how much rain you get when using it for spraying around your foundation of your home.

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
