Stedfast SC 1L

a Suspension concentrate contact and stomach insecticide for the treatment of soil to protect buildings against Subterranean Termites that attack wood.

Directions for Use:

Half fill the spray tank with clean water. Shake the container of Stedfast well immediately before use. Measure the required volume of Stedfast and pre-mix this with at least 10l water and add to the contents of the spray tank. Fill the spray tank with water to the required level while maintaining agitation to ensure thorough mixing of the spray mixture before spraying commences. Prepared spray mixture must not be left in the spray tank for any length of time, e.g. overnight.

• Pre-treatment building sites: Wood eating subterranean termites: 1l per 100l water or 2l per 100l water, depending on infestation. Trench treatment for foundations: Apply the prepared mixture at the rate of 6l per linear meter. Ensure thorough application along the insides of the foundation walls. Suspended floors: Treat the entire surface area below the floors, at the rate of
  5l per m2. Concrete floors: After the ground has been filled but before the concrete slab is cast, the hardcore and soil are treated with the prepared mixture at the rate of 5l per m². If the filling material is gravel, increase the application rate to 7,5l per m².
• Treatment of existing structures: Wood eating Subterranean Termites: 1l per 100l water or 2l per 100l water, depending on infestation. Outdoor application: Dig a 300mm wide trench around the exterior perimeter of the foundations. Apply the prepared mixture to the bottom of this trench at a rate of 6l per linear meter. Backfill the trench. Treat lengths of 3 to 6 meters at a time. Indoor applications: Suspended floors: Ideally a trench should be dug around the inside of the foundation walls and treated as described above. Solid floors: Holes can be drilled through concrete floors around the inside perimeter of the building, 30 to 45cm apart and not more than 10cm from the wall. Flood the prepared mixture into these holes at 3 to 4,5l per hole and seal the holes with mortar, after the mixture has drained away.
