Furniture treatment kit - surface and injection treatment for Woodworm in furniture

 

Furniture Woodworm Treatment Kit contains three treatment products, as follows;

Wood worm treatment of furniture

 

1. Boron Ultra Gel - surface treatment and to inject into holes - no smell, no vapour

 

For unpainted, unvarnished, bare wood, by brush or using the syringe provided

A unique Boron based Gel in glycol, designed to treat timber by brush or by injection. It avoids the hazard problems of many liquid preservatives by using only glycol as a carrier. By brush, apply as one thin coat, allowed to soak in and then wipe to remove any excess with a wet cloth. If injected, apply to each insect hole to refusal and wipe off all excess with a damp cloth or paper. Do not apply to surfaces that you might want to paint or varnish afterwards - some modern coatings contain glycol and may not dry properly.

What does the enemy look like?

Hole size - 1mm to 2mm in diameter.

Life Cycle - Common furniture beetle, Anobium Punctatum, has a 5 year life cycle, but the adult only lives for a few weeks and cuts the hole you see in order to exit and find a mate. Eggs are laid onto the timber surface or in old holes. The baby grubs bore back in and the cycle repeats.

WOOD PRESERVATIVE AND BIOCIDE SAFETY

Use Wood Preservatives and Biocides safely. Always read the label and product information Data Sheet before use.

Wear the correct safety equipment and keep unprotected people and animals out of the treated area for the statutory period given on the label, or until surfaces are dry, which ever is the longer.

All products have some hazards and the COSHH Regulations (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) apply to ALL building repair and construction products that we sell, even Cement.

If in doubt consult us for free technical help. Take care not to contaminate soil, waterways or the environment with the product or the waste and packaging. These can be returned to us for disposal.

Avoid using any type of chemical in your home if any of the following are likely to come into contact with the spray or treated surfaces: animals, fish, birds, babies, young children, asthmatics, pregnant women or those vulnerable due to ill health.

On-going European reclassification of Pesticides has resulted in our Borax product having to carry a warning label (for the first time since 1890) on all products used at over 5.5% BAE concentration. This label is a warning that if you eat the product and then became pregnant you might give birth to a slightly underweight baby, or, if you are a male, suffer a slight reduction in the size of your testes. The tests, on rats, required them to eat the human equivalent of 18 level teaspoons full of Borate (DOT) per day for 2 years. We believe that you are unlikely to do this and the lack of any other negative evidence, despite the severe European Review process, suggests that this product is very safe indeed.

Woodworm treatment products do not need to even reach the 5% concentration level to be effective, so are not subject to any additional labelling, because of their unblemished safety record.

See our Technical section for more information.


'Boron' is a generic term (more correctly used for the Element Boron) applied to a range of Boron Compounds known as Borates and sold under the names D.O.T., Timbor, Tim Bor and Borax, all made by the company U. S. Borax, of '20 Mule Team Train' fame.
