RONSEAL WOODWORM KILLER

Ronseal Woodworm Killer is specially formulated to kill wood boring beetles, their larvae and eggs. The low
viscosity, water based formulation penetrates deep into wood providing long term protection.
COVERAGE
INTRODUCTION
Insect attack can be recognised by small round flight holes on the surface of the timber and the gritty bore-dust that is left behind. These holes are most likely to be found near joints or on the undersides or backs of furniture. Whilst flight holes indicate some beetles have emerged, it is likely that larvae remains in the wood, Ronseal Woodworm Killer contains permethrin, an effective woodworm killer, which will prevent the infestation and spread of woodworm thus avoiding the associated damage. Ronseal Woodworm Killer has a low viscosity formulation to provide good penetration into the timber. It dries to a clear finish that is specifically designed to be over-coated with paint, varnish or woodstain. The water based formulation means equipment can be washed out in water and the product has a low inoffensive odour. Coverage may vary with the properties of the substrate. COMPOSITION
