No cases of human poisoning are known. FIPRONIL is a reversible GABA receptor inhibitor.
During intoxication, it will induce neurological stimulation with possible convulsions.
FIRST AID TREATMENT
IF IN EYES: Wash immediately with plenty of water. Washing must be prolonged (at least 15 minutes).
SEEK MEDICAL ADVISE:
IF SWALLOWED: Try to induce vomiting. Seek medical advice (show the label to the doctor). Keep the victim under medical control. In case of consciousness disorders, do not try to induce vomiting.
IF ON SKIN: Wash immediately with water and if possible soap. Washing must be prolonged (at least 15 minutes).
Note to physician
FIPRONIL is slowly absorbed through the gut. Absorption may be reduced by the use of gastric lavage, saline purgative and activated charcoal (possible entero-hepatic recirculation). No specific antidote is known. Phenobarbital, but not benzodiazepines, have been shown experimentally to be active on convulsions induced by FIPRONIL.
For resistance management, FIPRONIL 96g/L SC an IRAC Group Code 2B insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to FIPRONIL 96g/L SC and other Group Code 2B insecticides. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population, if these insecticides are used repeatedly and exclusively in programmes. These resistant insects may not be controlled by FIPRONIL 96g/L SC, or any other Group Code 2B insecticides.
To delay insecticide resistance: Avoid exclusive repeated use of insecticides, from the same insecticide group code. Alternate or tank-mix with products from different insecticide group codes.
Disclaimer: The registration holder cannot guarantee efficacy under all conditions due to various factors such as soil, climate, storage, water quality, and application method, nor do they accept responsibility for damages or lack of performance resulting from failure to follow label instructions or unforeseeable conditions.
Dosage 100L water to 275ml Fipronil
For tank mixing, or alternation with products in other insecticide group codes, refer to applicable individual product labels. Integrate other control methods (chemical, cultural, biological) into pest control programmes.
All applications must be made with suitable equipment, designed for applications for termite control, that is in good working order and correctly calibrated, to give the desired coverage for that particular method of application.
Foundation and service trenches and foundation walls
The bottom and sides of foundation and service trenches, must be treated at the rate of 5L mixture per linear metre. Service trenches must be treated for their full length, inside the building. All inner foundation walls must be treated on both sides and outer foundation walls on the inside, at a rate of 5L mixture per linear metre.
Soil surface under floor slabs
Apply 5L mixture per 1m2 on the soil surface, where the floor will be cast. Ensure that the coverage is good where cables and / or piping enter the building.
Suspended floors
The surface of the crawl space and the enclosing walls must be treated at a rate of 5L mixture / 1m2. Ensure that the coverage is good where cables and / or piping enter the building.
Pile and beam construction
The bottom surface of pile and beam foundations, must be treated at the rate of 5L mixture / 1m2. after compaction and before the concrete is cast.
Unexposed soil surfaces
Apply 5L of the mixture per 1m2 on the soil surface, where paving. entrance steps, verandas etc. will be connected to the structure.
POST CONSTRUCTION REMEDIAL APPLICATION
Permeter treatment
Dig a 30cm wide trench, around the exterior perimeter of the foundations and as deep as the top of the footing. Apply 5L mixture / linear metre of the trench. Both the sides and bottom of the trench must be adequately covered by the application. The trench must be backfilled and compacted. This treatment must be done in sections of 3 - 6m at a time, in order not to weaken the foundations.
Solid floors
Drill holes approximately 1m apart through the floor, around the inside perimeter of each room, and around the outside perimeter of the structure. Holes should be drilled to the top of the footing of the foundation. If the design of the building is such, that vertical holes cannot be drilled through the floor along with outside perimeter, then horizontal holes, approx. 1m apart, must be drilled from the outside through the foundation wall, into the soil underneath the solid floors. Apply 5L mixture / hole. Holes should be suitably sealed after application.
Suspended floors
Where possible, a 30cm wide trench should be dug around the inside of the foundation walls, as deep as the top of the footing and treated with 5L mixture per linear metre. The trench must be backfilled and compacted. This treatment must be done in sections of 3 - 6m at a time, in order not to weaken the foundations. Treat the surface of the crawl space and the enclosing walls, at a rate of 5L mixture/m2. The treated surfaces should not be disturbed. If there is no access to the sub-floor, access openings should be cut into the floorboards and the treatment carried out as described above. The removed sections must be replaced after application and sealed. Where no crawl space exists, holes can be drilled through the floor at regular intervals and the soil surface flooded with the mixture at a rate of 5L mixture/m2. The holes must be plugged and sealed after application.
Wear protective clothing, eyewear, gloves, faceshield and respirator.
When handling, wear hand gloves, respiratory equipment, and suitable protective clothing. Avoid inhaling, keep away from naked flames, hot surfaces, food, drink, animal feed, and plant life. Wash immediately any splashes from skin or eyes before meals and after work. Do not contaminate water storage tanks or waterways, drains, streams, etc. with this content or its container. Store in original container tightly closed in a safe place out of reach of children. Dispose of the empty container safely. Keep unprotected persons and animals away from treated area for at least 48 hours.
Shelldrite Fipronil 96g/L is a Group 2B Insecticide.
