Best-Practice Recommendation:
Estimate area of surface which needs to be
treated.
Calibrate spray equipment to identify volume of
spray necessary to achieve coverage of target
area.
Measure out required volume of
Temprid
®
75
Residual Insecticide
and mix according to
General Instructions below.
When applying this product, DO NOT exceed the
point of run-off.
When applying this product to non-porous
surfaces, apply as a coarse spray.
Ants
DIRECT NEST TREATMENT:
Where possible locate the nest and spray directly
into nest entrances. Penetration of insecticide can be
assisted by pre-wetting sandy and porous soils with
water. A thorough soaking treatment with insecticide
mixture is required to destroy the nest.
TREATMENT WHEN NESTS CANNOT BE
LOCATED:
Apply to all ant trails and areas where ants are
foraging. Search for ants underneath materials (e.g.
rocks, timber) and apply to these areas.
Where indoor infestation has been identified it is
recommended that an external perimeter treatment
be installed (refer below) and that indoor areas are
treated with a suitably registered bait product such
as one from the
Maxforce
®
ant bait range.
EXTERNAL PERIMETER TREATMENTS:
Apply to all potential entrance points of the structure
(e.g. cracks and crevices in brickwork and gaps in
timber weatherboards).
Treat the outside of the structure; walls and around
doors, windows and other areas where ants are
active or may enter or hide.
Ensure application in wall voids or other enclosed
cavities is made with spray nozzle adjusted to
produce a fine mist in order to avoid run-off.
Treat the soil, turf or other ground covering
adjacent to the structure (in a band up to 3 metres
wide) where ants are seen, have been found, or
can find shelter.
TREATMENT OF FOOD SOURCES:
Certain species of ants are commonly found on
plants, tending honey-dew producing insects such as
aphids and mealybugs. Controlling these insects will
assist in ant management programs. Apply
Temprid
®
75 Residual Insecticide
to tree trunks,
flowers, shrubs, or ornamental plant beds adjacent to
the structure where ants may find food or forage.
DO NOT apply to edible plants and plants likely to be
visited by bees.
