WATER-BASED
LOW TOXICITY
APPROVED FOR
LOW ODOUR
INSECTICIDE
8 HOUR RE-ENTRY

DESCRIPTION:
A concentrated micro-emulsion based contact insecticide, designed for the prevention and eradication of wood destroying insects,
incorporating the low toxicity contact insecticide Permethrin. It’s concentrated, water-based micro-emulsion system is approved for use under
the HSE control of pesticides regulations to allow re-entry into a treated property just 8 hours after the treatment has been applied. Being a
water-dilutable system eliminates any flammability risks from this product and reduces airborne odours to a barely perceptible level.
PREPARATION:
The product is supplied as a concentrate to be diluted with water by adding 1 part of concentrate to 24 parts of water will yield 25 litres of ready-to-use woodworm killer. Ensure all timber surfaces are clean and free from previously applied painted coatings and are in a condition, which readily allows the treatment to penetrate. In large-scale applications, where there are signs of previous infestation, a full structural assessment will be necessary to determine any timbers, which are irreversibly decayed and therefore in need of replacement before treatment begins. APPLICATION: Apply the diluted product using either a brush or low-pressure spray pack, giving a coarse droplet application. The timber should be saturated to refusal, paying particular attention to holes confirming signs of insect emergence; exposed grain ends and ensuring locations such as sub-floor joists and reverse stairboards are exposed to allow sufficient access for a completely effective treatment. Ready to use WOODWORM KILLER 8 when diluted will cover at the rate of about 3 to 4 square metres of timber surface per litre, making a single 1 litre pack when diluted to 25 litres sufficient to cover a maximum of 100 square metres of exposed timber. Coverage rate will depend greatly upon the texture, shape and porosity of the wooden structure being treated. As a general guide it has been found that the roof void timbers in a typical large three bed semi-detached property will require up to 4 x 1 litre packs of WOODWORM KILLER 8 for a fully comprehensive treatment of all roof timbers. To hasten drying times, provide as much natural ventilation as possible into the treated area. FOR USE ONLY AS A WOOD PRESERVATIVE. Engineering controls of operator exposure must be used where reasonably practicable in
