Bifen 7.9F Select is a liquid insecticide containing the active ingredient bifenthrin. It controls ants and carpenter ants. For indoor carpenter ant control, apply a dilution to surfaces, cracks, and crevices, or use a spray, mist, or foam in voids; for outdoor carpenter ant control, apply as a soil drench or injection, or treat tree trunks, wood piles, and trails.
