DESCRIPTION
Fungicide & Insecticide Gel ;is a special boron-based, brushable and injectable gel for use in high-risk areas to treat against dry and wet rot as well as wood destroying insects. It has been designed for use on all timbers at high risk of damage or decay such as joist ends, purlins, wall plates, cut ends and rafter ends. It leaves no surface residues after treatment, is non-staining and can be overpainted in time.
NB On rare occasions a surface residue will remain on the timber and if the conditions are right this may attract mould. This can be removed by wiping with a moist soapy cloth.
Bats: The active ingredients have been accepted by the Nature Conservancy bodies as suitable for the treatment of roof voids where bats roost. However it is a legal requirement to notify the Nature Conservancy Council prior to any treatment of roof spaces where bats have been identified. Treatment must not be carried out whilst bats are at roost.
How to Use
How to Use
METHOD
Treatment of wood boring insects and fungal decay:
Clean all wooden surfaces using a brush or vacuum cleaner.
To aid brushing out on any timbers that are very dry or remain dusty, apply a little water to the surface before the application of Fungicide & Insecticide Gel.
Apply a generous brush coat of Fungicide & Insecticide Gel; taking care to ensure that end grains, corners and joints are well treated. Brush apply to any surfaces exposed by cutting after initial treatment.
Brush the Fungicide & Insecticide Geln well into the surface taking care not overload the brush with the product, particularly on overhead, horizontal faces.
Fungicide & Insecticide Gel may be used in outdoor conditions provided that the timber treated is then protected from weathering by an appropriate coating or sealant.
As a surface application the gel will not penetrate through paint, varnishes or other coatings and these should be removed before treatment.
Fungicide & Insecticide Gel can be injected through predrilled holes in areas where paint and coatings cannot be removed. Clean all tools, brushes and equipment with water.
