1. Shake the can for at least 10 seconds.

Injecting (on coated or painted wood with holes): 

1. Lift the long, thin nozzle upwards until it sits at a 90°C angle to the can (and can't lift any higher).
2. Insert the injector nozzle firmly into the borer flight holes and hold it in place.
3. Press down on the ridged button on the lid for 1 – 2 seconds.
4. Repeat in all holes in the timber.
5. When finished spraying, return the spray nozzle to the downwards position.
6. Wipe surface with a soft cloth to remove residual liquid.
7. Once dry, the holes can be filled in and painted over.

Spraying (for bare wood protection): 

1. Fold the long, thin nozzle downwards, so that it sits parallel against the can, spray the bare wood liberally until the surface is wet by pressing down on the ridged button on the lid.
2. Leave to dry before painting or varnishing. A second coat will give deeper penetration and longer lasting protection.

Safe disposal of containers and chemicals

Safe storage of home and garden products

• Read instructions thoroughly before use and retain instructions label for future reference.
• To assist in eradicating borer, use as part of the 1–2–3 Borer Control Programme. 
• For large areas of the bare timber such as sub–floors, use NO Borer Total Wood Protection.
• To control adult beetles that have emerged from timbers that cannot be accessed, use NO Bugs Super Fumigator.
• Ensure timbers are protected from leaks and are kept dry and well–ventilated.
• Can also effectively control borer on lemon trees. Apply at any time of year.
• If you have difficulty fitting the straw / nozzle into the hole in the aerosol spray head, we suggest placing the straw / nozzle in the freezer for a few minutes. This will shrink the tube a little and make it stiffer which is found to make it fit more easily.
• Always trial a small inconspicuous area first. If there is reaction, it will be evident within the hour. If a reaction occurs, strip back your furniture to bare timber before treatment. When dry, resurface with varnish. Wear eye protection during use as liquid may squirt back from adjacent flight holes.
