We recommend Demand G Granules to control springtails and they can be used as a perimeter application or over your entire lawn.

Both Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules and Talstar PL Granules contain the exact same active ingredient, which is Bifenthrin 0.2%. Neither are labeled for any type of spiders. We would recommend using Onslaught FastCap Spider and Scorpion Insecticide. It is labeled for various types of spiders, as well as other pests. You will need to spray in the areas where the spiders are. They need to come in contact with the product in order for the spiders to die. This can be used indoors and outdoors.
Bifen Granules are an excellent option for ticks in your lawn.

We apologize, but we don't have the exact spreader setting for your model spreader. The easiest way to determine the correct setting to apply Bifen Granules is as follows:
If you need to use 3lbs of product per 1,000 sq ft you would add 3 lb of product to spreader, start with a medium setting, then apply product to a 20 x 50 ft area (1,000 sq ft). If you have product left, your setting is too low. If you run out of product, your setting is too high.
Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules would be considered a repellent as far as social insects, such as ants, are concerned. This is because the product kills insects quickly which come in contact with treated areas, as opposed to the slower action in non-repellent products which allow the active ingredient time to transfer among social insects. This product is not specifically labeled to kill eggs but will affect the larvae of labeled pests.
We are not sure why this product does not have roaches on the label, but it is the same product as Talstar PL Granules, and roaches are listed on the Talstar granule product label.
