Specifying
All Permagard timber preservatives are approved for use under the HSE Control of Pesticides Regulations 1986 for use as directed.
All Bats are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Before treating and structure used by Bats, consult English nature, Scottish Natural Heritage or the Countryside Council for Wales.

For the pre-treatment and remedial treatment of timber where access is restricted or where treatment by conventional fluid methods may not be adequate ie.
1. Timber which is particularly prone to decay ie wall plates, joists and
rafter ends, gutter boards, soffits, lintels etc.
2. Large cross section beams particularly in old buildings.
3. Timbers permanently in contact with the ground.

Method of use
Apply Permatreat to the timber by using a caulking gun or by brush, trowel or gloved hand liberally covering the surface. Injection into the timber can also be used and is particularly recommended when treating Death Watch Beetle.

Preparatory works
Check the structural integrity of the timbers to be treated and remove any severely infested timber. Ensure that any new timber is treated with a suitable preservative. Ensure that cut ends of timber are also fully treated.
In areas affected by fungal decay take all necessary actions to eliminate the source of dampness and to promote drying out.
Thoroughly clean all timbers – vacuum cleaning preferred.
Permatreat Paste does not ‘dry’ out but continues to penetrate over a long period of time depending on the rate of application and the absorption characteristics of the timber.
Can leave a slight deposit on the surface of the treated timber.
Not for use on timbers to be painted or glued.

User friendly
Higher safety – Permethrin products have a very low mammalian toxicity and offer a higher degree of safety during and after use than many other Wood Preservatives and are of low environmental impact.
