Frequently asked questions

Is it for cockroaches and mosquitoes? The primary use stated on the package is termite control in buildings, soil and timber. Do not use outside the label directions.

Can it be used before construction? Yes, for soil barriers beneath and around foundations before floors are poured, preferably by a specialist.

Can it treat an existing house? Label methods include drilled holes and injection points to reach soil below floors and beside walls. This requires suitable equipment and technical experience.

Can it be applied to timber? Follow the labeled dilution for affected or at-risk timber, wear protective equipment and prevent treated timber from contacting food or children.

How much area does a pack cover? There is no fixed area based only on bottle size. Coverage depends on the treatment, solution volume per meter, soil and trench or injection depth.

Which pack should I choose? The 200 ml pack suits limited treatments, 500 ml suits medium tasks, and 1 L suits larger treatments. Calculate the final quantity from the treatment plan and label rate.

Can I apply it without a technician? Structural trenching, injection and below-floor treatments require building knowledge, solution calculations and protective equipment. Use a qualified pest-control technician.
