Flight hole treatment to kill borer and prevent re-infestation.
Benefits
Directions
- Wearing gloves and eye protection fit the straw nozzle into the hole in the spray button. Then with two fingers behind the flange on the end of the nozzle push the nozzle firmly into to the borer flight holes and give the button a short press.
- Inject fluid into borer holes in furniture, skirting boards, window frames, architraves, weatherboards, lintels and any other painted, varnished or polished timbers where borer holes are found.
- For small bare wood areas the fluid can be applied by spraying without use of the nozzle.
Active Ingredients
1 g/L Permethrin in the form of an aerosol.
Tips
- Citrus Tree Borer – inject directly into the holes in the trunk and branches. Effectively controls the Lemon Tree Borer. Apply at any time of year.
- Large areas - For treatment of large areas of uncoated timber use NO Borer Wood Protection Fluid. If timber is not reachable for treatment use NO Bugs Super Fumigators
- Nozzle fitting - 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.

Caution
- 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.
