RATES OF APPLICATION:
IMPORTANT:
Deter Insecticide shouid be Used as part of an overall termite management program as
detailed in the Australian Standard Series AS.3660. A great deal of care is required to
understand the construction details of the building and to apply the product in a manner
which ensures a complete chemical soil bartier. Where necessary, the barier may need io be
fe-applied under ihe oullding. Application equipment must be fitled with a flow meter and
pressure regulator on the application device, The purpose of the chemical soil barrier is to
impede and discourage concealed termite entry into a structure. Barriers may still be bridged
by termites, but their entry can then be more easily detected duting routine inspections. fa
barter is not complete or breached then concealed termite entry may oceur. It is not often
possible to form a complete bartier oround existing structures in which case other termite
management options and for more frequent inspections will also need to be considered.Approved label (draft Aug 28 02) Deter Insecticide Page 8 of 17

Application Equipment:
Hand Spraying:
For hand spraying use a rose head shrouded nozzle, operating at 170 kPa, with a flow meter
‘and pressure regulator fitted to the hand-piece.
Treatment beneath concrete slabs and sealed areas:
Where its not possible or practical to remove the slat to allow direct application to the soil,
use a sU0-Siab injector fitted with multi-cirectiona’ tip (eg. a B & G or similar system) with a 5
degree upward angie (eg. 3 way or 4 way} operated at 170kPa. Ensure a strong seal with the
top of the drill hole to avoid leakage. For the best distribution the injector needs to be held
verlically at right angles to the slab, and rotated during the application through 90 degrees (it
using @ 4 way dispersion tip) or through 120 degrees for a 3 way dispersion tip}.
Injection into soil
Where it is not possible or practicable to trench the soil, use a soil rod with a 3 or 4 way multi-
irectional tip [B&G or similar) operated at 170 kPa. The 4 way tip needs to be rotated during
the application through 90 degrees and the $ way tip through 120 degrees.
Application Volum
To compensate for impervious soils such as heavy clay where application of 5 L/m? would
cause run-oft, it may be necessary to apply @ volume of emulsion less than 5 Lim2, When
reducing the total volume of emulsion used, increase the concentration accordingly to
match the label rate by mixing the required amount of Deter insecticide per m?in a lesser
volume of water. DO NOT use emulsion volumes less than 2 | for every square metre to be
treated.
Note: Use of emulsion volumes otirer than the recommended 5 L/m?is only permitted when
insialling borriers in exposed soil, Its not permitied when injecting through the slab or into
sealed areas.
Existing Structures:
©) Strategic drilling through slab or treated areas.
For treatment of slabs when termites ore entering the building through the slab, where
reticulation do not exist, slab dtillng and injection will be required. In most cases,
unless there is a known severe hazard, grid cling of the slab is not required, Any such
need is to be determined by a licenced Pest Menager.
Treatment needs to be made around the inside of all exterior walls fo complete a
termite banter, along both sides of interior wall partitions, around plumbing/ electrical
oF piping entry points and along major cracks or expansion joints. When treating along
major cracks or expansion joints itis recommended that holes are cilled oltemately
on either side of the crack at the recommended dill hole spacings.
For a sandy base or sandy soil, apply through a row of holes drilled no more than 300,
mm apart and 100-200 mm out from the wal, crack or pipe. For a clay base, apply
through a row of holes dled 150 mm apart and 100 mm from the wall, crack or pipe.
Apply 10 Lof emubion per near metre and ensure the holes are securely plugged

External Barriers
An extemal bortier shouts be installed around the perimeter of the bullding ond

using either a vertical or horizontal barrier, as delermined by Ihe building construction
type and agjeining ground level. An external barrier is of the

Manggement system as per AS 3660,
‘An extemal horizontal barrier is only required when prevention of concealed vertical
‘access by termites is necessary af the perimeter (eg. when ground level is equal 1
the top of the slab, where the slab is also a barrier fo concealed termite movement
info the building}. A vertical barrier is required when prevention of concealed
horizontal access is necessary [eg. where ground level is higher than the building
material vulnerable to concealed horizontal eniry by termites).
i) Horizontal Barrier:
Use a rose head shower nozzle operated at 170 kPa to apply the required rate
of 1.5L of the correctly diluted Deter Insecticide per lineal metre {150 m wide)
10 soll loosened fo a depth of approximately 80 mm (see Application Volume.
section)
i) Vertical Barrier
‘The vertical barrier should be at least 150 mm wide and should reach down to
50 mm below the top of the footings. To achieve this trench to the top of the
footings and where this is not possible, a combination of trenching (preferably
at least 300 mm deep) and rodding into the base of the trench may be
necessary.
Apply Deter Insecticide emuision at 100 L per cubic metre of backfill sit, this
‘equates to 1.5 L of emulsion flinear mee of a trench 150 mm wide and 100
mm deep. Where the required vertical barrier is deeper than 100 mm, ensure
the same rate of application for the extra volume of soil. Use a rose head
shower nozzle operated af 170 kPa to flood the base of the open wrench end.

TERMITE MANAGEMENT
The use of Deter Insecticide in subterranean termite management should be considered port
of an integrated approach,
To mimimise the risk of termite infestation, prior to installation of chemical barriers ensure that:
(a) _ the subfloor area of buiicings is kept free from stored or waste timber and ail other
buiicing materials that attract termites,
(b) Appropriate action should be taken fo efminate any undue dampness caused by
leaking water or sewerage pipes or inadequate drainage. Subtemanean termites need
© constant source of water to survive.
{ce} Adequate ventilation is provided in the subfloor area to help eliminate dampness.
Pest Managers using this product for termite management shoud advise the home owner
that disturbing the treated soi! barrier with subsequent construction or alterations, paths,
sleps, landscaping etc may render the termite management system in place ineffective
unless further management options are considered.
Colonies not in contact with ground
