APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS – TERMITE MANAGEMENTAPPLICATION EQUIPMENTHand Spraying For hand spraying use a rose head shrouded nozzle operating at 170 kPa and with a flow meterand pressure regulator fitted to the hand-piece.Injection Through Concrete Slabs or Sealed Areas Use a sub-slab injector fitted with multi-directional tip (a B & G or similar system) with a 5 degreeupward angle (e.g. 3 way or 4 way) and operated at 170 kPa. Ensure a strong seal with the top ofthe drill hole to avoid leakage. For the best distribution, the injector needs to be held vertically atright angles to the slab and rotated during the application through 90 degrees if using a 4 waydispersion tip, or through 120 degrees for a 3 way dispersion tip.Injection into Soil Use a soil rod with a 3 or 4 way multi-directional tip (B&G, or similar) operated at 170 kPa. The 4way tip needs to be rotated during the application through 90 degrees and the 3 way tip through120 degrees.APPLICATION VOLUME To compensate for impervious soils such as clays where application of 5 L/m2 would cause run-off,it may be necessary to apply a volume of emulsion less than 5 L/m2. When reducing the volume ofemulsion used, increase the concentration accordingly to match the label rate by mixing therequired amount of Pidgeon’s Pest Controller 500 Termiticide and Insecticide per m 2 in a lesservolume of water. DO NOT use emulsion volumes less than 2 L for every square metre to betreated.Note: Use of emulsion volumes other than the recommended 5 L/m2 is only permitted when installingbarriers in exposed soil. It is not permitted when injecting through the slab or into sealed areas.Existing Structuresa) Strategic Drilling Through Slab, or Sealed AreasFor treatment of slabs when termites are entering the building through the slab and wherereticulation systems do not exist, slab drilling and injection will be required. In most cases, unlessthere is a known severe termite hazard, grid drilling of the slab is not required. Any such need is tobe determined by a licensed Pest Control Operator.Treatment needs to be made around the inside of all exterior walls to complete a termite barrier,along both sides of interior wall partitions, around plumbing / electrical or piping entry points andalong one side of major cracks or expansion joints.For a sand base or sandy soil, apply through a row of holes drilled 300 mm apart and 100-200 mmout from the wall, crack or pipe. For a clay base, apply through a row of holes drilled 150 mmapart and 100 mm from the wall, crack or pipe. Apply 10 L of emulsion per linear metre andensure the holes are securely plugged after treatment.b) External BarrierAn external barrier should be installed around the perimeter of the building and should circumferenceall pipes and service facilities. External barriers should be created by using either a vertical orhorizontal barrier, as determined by the building construction type and adjoining ground level. Anexternal barrier is an essential part of the treatment when relying on a chemical soil barrier toprovide the full termite management system as per AS 3660.An external horizontal barrier is only required when prevention of concealed vertical access by termitesis necessary at the perimeter (eg, when ground level is equal to the top of a slab, where the slab is alsoa barrier to concealed termite movement into the building). A vertical barrier is required whenprevention of concealed horizontal access is necessary (eg, where ground level is higher than buildingmaterial vulnerable to concealed horizontal entry by termites).i) Horizontal Barrier not for use in home,garden,residential or publicly accessible spaces: Usea rose head shower nozzle operated at 170 kPa to apply the required rateof 1.5L of the correctly diluted Pidgeon’s Pest Controller 500 Termiticide per lineal metre (150mmwide) to soil loosened to a depth of at least 80mm (see APPLICATION VOLUME Section).

ii) Vertical Barrier: The vertical barrier should be at least 150mm wide and should reach down to50mm below the top of the footings. To achieve this trench to the top of the footings, and where thisis not possible, a combination of trenching (preferably at least 300mm deep) and rodding into thebase of the trench may be necessary.Apply Pidgeon’s Pest Controller 500 Termiticide and Insecticide emulsion at 100L per cubic metreof backfill soil, this equates to 1.5L of emulsion/linear metre of a trench 150mm wide and 100mmdeep. Where the required vertical barrier is deeper than 100mm, ensure the same rate of applicationfor the extra volume of soil. Use a rose head shower nozzle operated at 170 kPa to flood the baseof the open trench and also to treat the backfill soil as it is replaced into the trench to ensure evendistribution. Where rodding is necessary, rod before the trench is treated using the spacings in thefollowing table.Rod Spacings:Heavy Clay150 mmClay Loams200 mmSands300 mmInsert the rod to the foundation foot as close as possible to the house wall ensuring thechemical is applied during insertion and withdrawal. (See APPLICATION EQUIPMENT Section,Injection into Soil).c) Suspended FloorsInstall horizontal and vertical barriers as specified in Australian Standard Series 3660 to abut allsubstructure walls, stumps, piers, pipes and wastes using the techniques described for externalbarriers around concrete slabs. (See Existing Structures Section.) Not for use in home, garden,residential or publicly accessible spaces.GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS – Termite ManagementTermite managementTo minimise the risk of termite infestation, the subfloor area of buildings should be kept free of storedor waste timber and all other building materials that attract termites. Appropriate action should also betaken to eliminate any undue dampness caused by leaking water or sewerage pipes, or inadequatedrainage. Subterranean termites need a constant source of moisture to survive. Provision of adequateventilation in the subfloor area also helps eliminate undue dampness. Pest managers using this productfor termite management should advise the home owner that disturbing the treated soil barrier withsubsequent construction of additions or alterations, paths, steps, landscaping, etc, may render thetermite management system in place ineffective unless further management options are considered.Colonies not in contact with the groundOccasionally subterranean termites establish a colony in a building without having contact with the soilbecause they have access to a continuous supply of moisture (eg. from a faulty plumbing fixture orleaking roof). Such colonies are not affected by chemical soil barriers and should be treated asrecommended for established colonies, as per Australian Standard Series AS 3660. Pidgeon’s pestController Termiticide and Insecticide may be applied directly to the termite colony in such situations.Service requirementRegular, competent inspections by a licensed Pest Manager are recommended as part of an overalltermite management program to determine the prevailing termite pressure and environmentalconditions and consequent requirement for further termite management options. Inspections should beperformed at least on an annual basis, but more frequent inspections are strongly recommended.At the 1% application rate, Pidgeon’s Pest Controller Termiticide and Insecticide can provide aneffective chemical soil barrier in subfloor regions for 4 years or more north of the Tropic of Capricorn,and 10 years or more south of the Tropic of Capricorn. At the 1% application rate, Pidgeon’s pestController Termiticide and Insecticide can provide an effective chemical soil barrier in exposedsituations for 2 years north of the Tropic of Capricorn, and up to 5 years or more south of the Tropic ofCapricorn.The actual period of efficacy will depend on many factors such as termite hazard, climatic conditions,soil types and soil disturbance and gardening/landscaping practices.

MANAGEMENT OF SUBTERRANEAN TERMITES (All States, except Tasmania)RATES OF APPLICATIONIMPORTANT: Pidgeon’s Pest Controller 500 Termiticide and Insecticide should be used as part of an overall termite management program as detailed in AustralianStandard Series AS 3660. A great deal of care is required to understand construction details of the building and to apply the product in a manner which ensures acomplete chemical soil barrier. Where necessary, the barrier may need to be re-applied under the building. Application equipment must be fitted with a flow meterand pressure regulator on the application device. The purpose of a chemical soil barrier is to impede and discourage concealed termite entry into a structure.Barriers may still be bridged by termites, but their entry can then be more easily detected during routine inspections. If a barrier is not complete or breached, thenconcealed termite entry may occur. It is often not possible to form a complete barrier around existing structures in which case other termite management optionsand/or more frequent inspections will also need to be considered.SITUATIONInstalling a chemical soilbarrier around and underbuildings.RATECRITICAL COMMENTSHorizontal Barriers:100mL/m2Vertical Barriers:2L/m3Horizontal Barriers: Use 100mL of Pidgeon’s Pest Controller 500 Termiticide and Insecticide per 5Lof water and apply the mixture (emulsion) at a rate of 5L/m2.Vertical Barriers: Use 2L of Pidgeon’s Pest Controller 500 Termiticide and Insecticide per 100L ofwater and apply the mixture at a rate of 100L/m3.See APPLICATION VOLUME section in GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS for further information.2L/100L is equivalent to a 1% active ingredient emulsion.See Service requirement in GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS for expected barrier life.200mL/10L of wateror creosoteTrench (preferred) or rod and puddle-treat backfill, ensuring a complete and continuous treated soilbarrier is provided around the pole or post, to a minimum depth of 300mm and minimum width of150mm. Use 100L of emulsion per m3 of soil. In addition, infested poles may be drilled near groundlevel and the cavity flooded with the emulsion. This allows seepage to form a treated soil barrier.Note: A 50mm gap between fence palings and soil will reduce termite attack and fungal decay. Onlysoil in contact with palings should be treated. Replenishment is recommended within 2 years north of the Tropic of Capricorn and 5 years inother areas. If the barrier is disturbed, or rain falls immediately after application, retreat to restore continuity andcompleteness of the barrier.Refer to Australian Standard Series AS 3660.Note: Not inresidential/home/publicspacesInstalling a chemical soilbarrier around new andexistingpoles,eg.transmission and buildingpoles, fence posts andpalings.Note: Not inresidential/home/publicspaces
