L-Drint-20TC Chlorpyriphos 20% E.C.
Termiticides
Subterranean termites usually causes damage to Furniture, Wood work, Window frames, Books, Carpets, Leather Goods and other stored commodities.
They
are known as white ants, live in colonies with assembly of millions.
They also damage building constructions entering from ground level to
upper level through joints gaps in floors, wall cavities, intersperse
of bricks and wood work. The damages caused by termites are likely to
be 35% to 40%.
How To Protect
In
highly infested areas, the building can be seriously effected within a
short span of construction. The effective and novel approach to provide
complete protection is at the time of planning and construction of
building.
The best way to control
termites is to establish chemical barrier between termites and the
assets. The only alternative is to select and use the quality product
L- drint in order to control / minimize / kill the termites.
Salient Features

- Highly Effective
- Longer Residual Control.
- Broad Spectrum Control.
- High Speed Of Killing
- Low Toxicity To Non-target Species
- No Leaching & Maximum Absorbing Capacities.
- Cost Effective.
RECOMMENDED DOSES
Mix 1 litre L-Drint with 19 litre of water to make 1% a.i. emulsion and to be applied in following stage.
Pre Construction Treatment (For New Structure)
Stage 1. (During foundation Preparation)
Apply
the emulsion on the bottom surface and sides of foundation pits to the
height of 30 c.m. @ 5 litre/sq. mtr. of surface area.
Stage 2. (After Completion of foundation).
On
both sides of all built up walls, treat the refill earth (approx. width
30 cm & depth 45 cm) @ 7.5 litre per linear metre.
Stage 3. (Before laying of floor).
The entire leveled surface to be
treated @ 5 litre per square meter.
Stage 4. (After completion of building)
Treat the earth along the external
perimeter of the building @ 7.5 litre of spray per linear meter.
Post Construction Treatment (For Existing Building)
Make
a complete inspection of termite infestation and route of entry into
the building. After careful inspection of termites infested area,
inject 1% of L-Drint emulsion in the soil which is in contact with the
external wall of the building, at the rate of 7.5 litre per sq. Meter
upto a depth of 30 cm & 15 cm apart.
Inside
the building, drill 12 mm holes at the junction of floor and wall,
along the cracks on the floor, and along constructional joints at 30 cm
intervals to reach the soil below. Squirt the emulsion @ 1 litre per
hole or till refusal and seal the holes properly with the cement.
Treatment Of Wood Works
Mix
1 litre of L-Drint in 19 litre of kerosin oil / terpentine oil and
brush all the surface of timber. If termite infestation is there, drill
3 mm holes in existing wood work with a downward slant. Liberally
infuse L-Drint emulsion till refusal. Repeat the same application after
drying. For new and replacement timber, dipping overnight in L-Drint
kerosin emulsion will ensure deep penetration and better protection
against difficult to control wood boring insects such as powder post
beetle, pin hole borers, furniture beetle etc. L-Drint is also very
commonly used in wood seasoning plants and handicraft industries.
Forestry / Nursery
Prepare
0.3% (active ingredient) emulsion of L-Drint, mix with soil at the rate
of 50 litre of emulsion per cubic meter of soil. for planting nursery
plants, use rotary drum to mix the soil and emulsion properly.
alternatively, drench the soil in polythene bags with the above
emulsion at the rate of 1 litre of emulsion per 20 polythen bags of
normal size (20 cm x 10 cm).
For
grown up trees, dig a trench of 25 cm radius and 15 cm deep around the
base of a tree and apply the above 0.3 % emulsion @ 1 litre per tree.
Alternative, apply the above emulsion on trunk of the tree @ 1 litre
per tree. the emulsion can be applied on trunk either by spraying or
with a paint brush.
Precaution
Avoid skin
contact, Wear face mask, gloves & shoes at the time of application.
Wash hands & exposed portion of applicator in running water.
Don’t eat, smoke or drink at the time of application. Keep out
of the reach of children and animals. Do not pour unused solution into river, pools or ponds.
Recommendations
Central
insecticides Board & Registration Committee Faridabad has approved
Chlorpyriphos 20 % E.C. for Pre & Post Construction Termite control
in buildings, forestry agriculture and wood works. Indian Agricultural
Research Institute (IARI), New Delhi has recommended the use of Chlorpyriphos 20% EC for white ants in agriculture & civil works.
