Termiticide Applications
Vertical Barriers: Use a minimum of 100 L of spray solution per m³ of soil. Vertical barriers can be applied either by trenching and treating the soil as it is backfilled, or by a combination of trenching and soil rodding at the bottom of the trench. Vertical barriers must extend down to 100 mm below the top of the solid footings. Barriers should be at least 150 mm wide. Apply 1.5 litres of spray solution per linear metre per 100 mm depth of barrier. In most cases, a minimum application rate of 5 litres per linear metre is recommended. When using soil rodding equipment, the distance between each rod insertion should be no greater than 150 mm.
Service Period: Commercial use has shown that a correctly administered application can deter concealed entry by subterranean termites (except Mastotermes) for at least two years and Mastotermes for at least one year.
Re-inspection: Re-inspection within 3 months of treatment is recommended. Regular competent inspection should be carried out at least annually as part of an ongoing termite management programme.
