Pest-Bor Industrial Wood Preservative and Remedial Timber Treatment

Used as a termiticide, insecticide and a fungicide, Pest-Bor is ideally applied for the protective and curative treatment of wood.
Targets such wood destroying pests as Subterranean, Drywood and Dampwood termites, Carpenter ants, Old House Borers, as well as a variety of beetles including Furniture, Deathwatch, Longhorn and Powder Post Beetles.

Used in its powder form, Pest-Bor effectively kills ants, cockroaches and silverfish.

Insects like borers and termites are exposed to the active ingredient by eating treated wood or by ingestion while grooming. Borates are a contact toxicant to fungi. The borates prevent metabolism of food by insects and fungi causing death.

 

Remedial Applications:
For the control of common wood boring insects, Anobium, Hadrobregums, Leanobium, Ambeodontus, and termites (Kalotermes brouni).
Use at rate of 10 kg Pest-Bor mixed in 100 L of warm water. Apply 25 L of mixed solution per 100 square metres of dry timber surface per coating.

Application:
Apply two coats at least 1 hour apart. Ensure all accessible dry wood surfaces are thoroughly wetted with the treatment solution.
Penetration and diffusion is better if temperature is above 13°C.
Do not apply to painted, varnished or coated surfaces.
Do not apply to timber exposed to continuing dampness or seeping moisture, UNLESS coated with suitable sealant like HomeSafe CopperTreat.
Internal treatment can be made using HomeSafe Rot Stop paste, or Industrial Timber Protector. If surface very dry (below 10% MC) either wet surface prior to applying Pest-Bor solution or use HomeSafe Protectimber or TimberFrame Defender instead.
Note: A noticeable reduction in borer activity might take up to 9 months.

Industrial Timber Preservation:
Use Pest-Bor as a dilute solution in water at concentrations from 0.5 to 40% depending on application method (spray, dip, vacuum pressure), the species of timber and required level of treatment. Timber treated to H1.2 must comply with the penetration and concentration requirements of NZS 3640: Chemical Preservation of Round and Sawn Timber.
