How did the Bifen-IT work out for your carpenter bees?I bought some Bifen-IT for a carpenter bees problem we had, and it worked great and fast. Used 2-1/2ozs /gallon of water for bees. I tried it on about 50 fire ant mounds my from lawn had which was maybe an acre or two.
I mixed approx 1-2 ozs Bifen-IT to 8 gallons of water in my water tank sprayer behind my garden tractor. I just drove around and sprayed a couple feet around each mound and then stuck the sprayer into the center of each mound and pushed it in while spraying while saturating the mound. That took care of them but I need to do that again each year to keep them in check.
If I was really fanatical about it I could just spray the whole lane with a good soaking but this method slows them way down, well enough for me.
We have 'em and have only found hitting them squarely in the head with a 16oz hammer works
