TermiForce 100SC Termiticide and Insecticide

Tips For Use

Turf Pest Control:

• Apply with suitable low-set boom spray equipment.
• Do not apply with aircraft or through irrigation equipment.

Ant Control:

• Termi-Force 100SC Termiticide and Insecticide will control ants through direct contact and residual activity on treated surfaces.
• When applied as a surface spray as directed, TermiForce 100SC Termiticide and Insecticide will provide up to 3 months of control of ants and is best applied as ant activity increases in early spring.
• A follow-up application during summer may be required.
• Do not apply more than 2 applications per year for ant control.

Termite Control:

• Chemical treatment for termite control around existing buildings should be considered to be part of an integrated approach to reduce the risk of termite attack and should be conducted by Licensed Pest Control Operators.

The steps below best describe the procedure for optimum termite management:

• The building owner should try to minimise water entering under and around the buildings and improve drainage to reduce moisture accumulation in these areas.
• Ventilation of sub-floor areas should also be optimised to reduce moisture accumulation.
• The area under the floor should be kept free of any debris-timber such as off-cuts of wood or firewood.
• Treat with a residual chemical soil zone treatment such as Termi-Force 100SC Termiticide and Insecticide in compliance with AS3660.2
• Regular inspections should be carried out (at least annually as recommended by AS3660 Series).
• If any additional subsequent building or landscaping work causes disruption to the chemical soil-treated zone, it must be restored to maintain protection.

Period Of Protection:

• When applied as a soil-treated zone treatment in accordance with this label, the product will be effective at deterring concealed entry into a building or structure by subterranean termites for a minimum period of eight years.
• Delayed mortality effects may be observed, meaning termites may live and continue to be active for several weeks after penetrating the treated zone.
• To re-establish the treated zone after the 8-year period of protection, re-application at full rates is required.

Re-Inspection:

• As with all chemical termiticides, regular inspections (at least annually) by a competent Licensed Pest Control Operator are recommended, as bridging and breaching of treated zones can occur.
• The need for re-treatment should be determined as a result of these inspections.

Restraints:

• Do not apply to excessively wet soils immediately after or during heavy rain to avoid run-off of the chemical.
• Do not apply if heavy rains are expected to occur within 48 hours of application.
• Do not apply at less than label rates.

Precautions:

• Residents and pets should not be allowed in a room being treated.
• Any spills should be cleaned up before leaving the room (refer to the SDS).
• Ensure all heating/air conditioning ducts, air vents, plumbing pipes, sewer lines, floor drains, heating pipes and electrical lines/conduits are known and identified before commencing any application of termiticide.
• Do not puncture or contaminate any of these.
• Avoid application around edible plants.

Re-Entry Period:

• Do not re-enter treated areas until the spray has dried.

Protection Of Crops, Native And Other Non-Target Plants:

• Do not apply in weather conditions or from spraying equipment that may cause spray to drift onto non-target plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures.

Protection Of Livestock:

• Dangerous to bees.
• Do not apply where bees from managed hives are foraging, and weeds are in flower at the time of spraying or are expected to flower within 28 days.
• Before spraying, notify beekeepers to move hives to a safe location with an untreated source of nectar if there is potential for managed bees to be affected by the spray or spray drift.
• If an area has been sprayed accidentally in which weeds were in flower or subsequently come into flower, notify beekeepers in order to keep managed bees out of the area for at least 28 days from the time of spraying.
• Where the owner of managed hives in the vicinity of a crop to be sprayed is not known, contact your State Department of Primary Industries/Agriculture, citing the registration number, for assistance in contacting the owner.

Turf – Do not graze treated turf or feed turf clippings from any treated area to poultry or livestock.

Protection Of Wildlife, Fish, Crustaceans And Environment:

• Very toxic to aquatic life.
• Do not apply to areas where surface water is present.
• Rinse waters and run-off from treated areas must be prevented from entering drains or waterways. Do not contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers.

Storage:

• Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well-ventilated area.
• Do not store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight.

Safety Directions:

• It will irritate the eyes and skin.
• Repeated exposure may cause allergic disorders.
• Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
• Wash hands after use.
• When opening the container, preparing spray and using the prepared spray, wear chemical-resistant clothing buttoned to the neck and wrist, a washable hat, a half-face piece respirator with combined dust and gas cartridge, and elbow-length PVC or nitrile gloves.
• After each day’s use, wash gloves, contaminated clothing and respirator, and if rubber, wash with detergent and warm water.

First Aid:

• If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or the Poisons Information Centre. Phone Australia 131 126.
• For further information, refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
