FAQs
Can I use this woodworm killer on exterior wood?
No, this product is specifically formulated for interior wood applications only and is not designed for exterior use.
How long does it take for the woodworm killer to work?
The product works by killing woodworm, eggs, and larvae on contact. Visible results and full protection develop as the product penetrates and dries, typically within a few days, with long-term protection provided afterward.
Do I need to prepare the wood before applying?
Yes, for best results, the wood should be dry, clean, and free from dust or loose material. Remove any existing paint, varnish, or polish to allow for deep penetration.
Can I paint or varnish over the treated wood?
Yes, you can paint or varnish over the treated wood once the product has dried completely. Ensure adequate drying time has passed.
What is the coverage rate?
Coverage varies depending on the porosity of the wood. Always aim to apply generously to ensure deep penetration.
How should I store the product?
Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition, with the container tightly closed.
What safety precautions should I take?
Always use in a well-ventilated area. Wear protective clothing, gloves, and eye protection during application. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Troubleshooting
Woodworm activity continues after application.
Ensure the product was applied thoroughly and that all affected areas were treated. Heavily infested wood may require a second application after drying. Check that the product has had sufficient time to penetrate and dry.
Product not penetrating the wood.
Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from paint, varnish, or polish. Surface coatings can prevent proper absorption. Reapply to bare wood if possible.

Ensure the treated area is well-ventilated during and after application. The odor should dissipate as the product fully cures. If the odor is strong and persistent after several days, ensure adequate airflow.
