How to use:

General Directions: This product must be applied and tested according to SABS Code of Practice 0124:1995 as amended. All applications must be made with suitable equipment, designed specifically for termite control that is in good working order and correctly calibrated to give the desired coverage for each particular method of application.

PRE-CONSTRUCTION PREVENTIVE APPLICATION

Treatment of existing colonies: All existing active termite colonies situated within 50 m of the structures perimeter (or within the property boundary, whichever distance is the shorter), should be treated with TERMALATE SC (see below). The treatment of surrounding nests will assist in preventing attack on structures subsequently erected on the site.

All cellulose containing material such as wood/timber, paper, cardboard that may serve as a food source for termites should be removed from the site before treatment. No structures should be erected over such food sources (i.e. floors, slabs, paving etc).

Do not apply TERMALATE SC to excessively wet soil. If more than 15 mm rain falls within 24 hours after application, the application should be repeated unless the treated soil was adequately protected. In all cases the treated soil surface should not be disturbed after treatment, as this may damage the treated barrier, allowing termites access to the structure through such areas.

PLEASE SEE TABLE IN THE LABEL FOR PRE-CONSTRUCTION

POST-CONSTRUCTION REMEDIAL APPLICATION

With remedial treatments it is important that the application is carried out in such a way that the TERMALATE SC is distributed in a continuous layer in the soil under existing structures. The most common reason for failures is that the mixture is not distributed in a continuous layer. Any none treated areas in a soil barrier are readily exploited by termites to gain access to the structure. This is particularly important under solid floors where it can be difficult to get the remedy to distribute evenly under the floor due to the compacted soil.
