Bifenthrin for Spider Mites - Shelf Life once Mixed? Female
Default Bifenthrin for Spider Mites - Shelf Life once Mixed?

Hello OB - For a year and a half I battled Flat/False Mites. They went through my Bellina collection like wild fire! Thanks to you folks here at OB, I found Bifenthrin. I applied it twice and voila, mites disappeared.

Now almost 9 months later, at the other end of my grow room, I see a few scarred leaves looking VERY much like the same old mite damage. Once again, I will pull out the big guns -- because they worked so well last time.

Here is my question: Does anyone know the shelf life (effectiveness) of Bifenthrin AFTER it has been mixed with water. [Thinking I need to keep a batch handy for the next several months.]

Thanks, ROBB

I don't think pesticides are very stable in water dilution. The labels all say to mix just before use.

Every pesticide I’ve used has said to use within 24 hours of mixing. After looking into specific pesticides and their stability in water, I now only use RO for mixing pesticides because our war is very hard and that can cause adverse reactions in the tank and reduce the effectiveness.
