Application equipment used to inject Fivestar Termite Controller through pre-drilled holes in an interior situation must be in good working order, free of any leaks and the injector must have tip shut-off to prevent nozzle dripping. Lateral dispersion tips are recommended. Drill holes must be resealed following injection of the Fivestar Termite Controller emulsion. The decision and/or need for drilling concrete floor slabs should only be made after a thorough inspection of the building. The degree of termite activity should also be taken into consideration.

Treatment in Conjunction with Physical Barriers:- In situations where the termite protection system is to consist of a combination of both physical and chemical barriers, each certified system must be installed according to the relevant and appropriate product specification and the Australian Standard AS 3660 Series.

Reticulation Systems: Fivestar Termite Controller can be used through reticulation systems to form horizontal and vertical barriers under and around structures and all service penetrations. The reticulation system must be certified and be capable of distributing the termiticide emulsion according to the product label and the Australian Standard AS 3660 Series.

In situations using reticulation systems to form barriers around the perimeter and/or service penetrations, only a full pre-construction soil applied Fivestar Termite Controller horizontal barrier is recommended. It is the responsibility of the builder and all relevant sub-contractors to ensure that all termite barrier systems are installed in accordance with the relevant product installation directions and the Australian Standard AS 3660 Series.

Service Requirements: Service requirements are to be determined as a result of at least an annual inspection by a licensed Pest Control Operator. More frequent inspections may be required in high-risk termite areas. In determining the need for service, factors such as the need for annual termite pressure, breaches of the barrier and termiticide longevity should be considered. Subterranean termites are on occasions capable of bridging termite barriers and therefore regular inspections, as detailed in the Australian Standard AS 4349.3, will significantly increase the probability of detection of termite activity before any damage or costly repairs are required.

Several factors contribute to longevity of the termite treatment and must be considered when evaluating the need for retreatment. The actual protection period will depend on the termite hazard, climate, soil conditions and rate of termiticide used. Refer to Table A for the expected protection periods provided.

PRECAUTIONS DO NOT spray into the air or directly on humans, pets or animals. Avoid contact with food, food utensils or preparation surfaces.

RE-ENTRY PERIOD Post-Construction and General Pest Control: Allow treated areas to dry completely (normally 3-4 hours) and ventilate buildings before re-occupying. When prior entry is necessary, When prior entry is necessary, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck, wrist and elbow-length PVC, neoprene or nitrile gloves and chemical resistant footwear. Clothing must be laundered after each day's use.

Crops, Ornamentals, Turf – The operator should wear suitable protective clothing (ie water proof boots, overalls and gloves) when walking on or handling newly sprayed turf before the spray deposits have dried or been watered-in or before re-entering treated crops.

CRITICAL APPLICATION DETAILS - TERMITES The application of Fivestar Termiticide and Insecticide to form both horizontal and vertical chemical barriers must be in accordance with the Australian Standard AS 3660 Series. For treatment of new and existing buildings, both horizontal and vertical barriers may be required around and under the building. Exterior perimeter barriers and where required, internal perimeter barriers, are an essential part of this treatment. The purpose of a chemical termite soil barrier is to provide a continuous, no gap barrier between the building and the termite colony. It is therefore essential that the Pest Control Operator is familiar with the construction details of the building. For further details, refer to the "Horizontal Barrier Treatments" and "Vertical Barrier Treatments" statements in this leaflet and to the Australian Standard AS 3660 Series.

Horizontal Barrier Treatments: Use 5 L of emulsion per m² of soil. Apply the termiticide emulsion evenly to the soil surface area to ensure the provision of a continuous barrier with no gaps. To minimise drift, use low pressure, high volume spray equipment delivering large coarse droplets. On impervious soils where the application of 5 L/m² would cause excessive run-off, the application volume may be reduced provided the concentration of the emulsion is increased by a corresponding amount. For example, the volume of applied concentrate must remain constant at 25, 50 or 75 mL/m² depending on the location and the situation. Do not apply emulsion volumes below 2 L/m².

In situations where the soil surface is very dry and conditions are conducive to rapid drying, the area to be treated should be moistened prior to the termiticide application.

It is important to note that when applying a horizontal barrier to the perimeter of a building or structure the chemical barrier is deemed to have a depth of 80 mm. In situations where the emulsion will not readily wet the soil to the required depth, loosen soil to a depth of 80 mm by 150 mm wide and apply 1.5 L of emulsion per lineal metre.

Vertical Barrier Treatments: To install a vertical barrier use a minimum of 100 L of emulsion per m³ of soil. Vertical barriers must be a minimum of 150 mm wide, extend down to 80 mm below the top of the footing and be complete and continuous. Vertical barriers can be installed by trenching and treating the soil as it is backfilled, by soil rodding or by the use of certified reticulation systems, as described in the Australian Standard AS 3660 Series. The preferred method of installing a vertical barrier treatment is either by trenching and treating the soil as it is backfilled or by delivery via a certified reticulation system. When using the soil rodding method to establish a vertical barrier the distance between rod spacings should be as per the following table. To improve soil penetration, the soil should be loosened to a depth of 150 mm.

Soil Type	Rod spacing (mm)
Heavy clay	150
Clay loams	200
Loams	250
Sands	300

Perimeter Barrier Treatments: Perimeter barriers consist of horizontal barriers at least 150 mm wide adjoining a vertical barrier of at least 150 mm in width. A perimeter barrier must completely surround all buildings, pipes, piers and service penetrations. In buildings with suspended floors with greater than 400 mm crawl space, perimeter barriers should be installed to surround piers, stumps and service penetrations and completely abut all substructure walls. To ensure provision of a continuous barrier use a minimum of 100 L of emulsion per m³ of soil. This equates to a delivery volume of 5 L of emulsion per linear metre for a 300 mm vertical barrier, or 10 L of emulsion per linear metre for a 600 mm vertical barrier. Termites may gain access behind engaged piers against single brick walls unless the soil is treated on both sides of the wall down to the footing.

Post-Construction Under Slab Treatments: For concrete slabs, the emulsion needs to be injected through pre-drilled holes through the slab, at intervals between 150 mm and 300 mm. The following table shows the recommended hole spacing and recommended volume of spray solution required per hole, depending on the soil type.

Pest	Situations	State	Rate	Critical Comments
Ants (including Red Imported Fire Ants), Cockroaches, Mosquitoes, Fleas, Flies, (excluding the paralysis tick Ixodes holocyclus) (Adults & Nymphs)	Internal & External Areas & Surrounds of Domestic, Commercial, Public & Industrial buildings and structures	All states	65 - 125 mL/10L	On non-porous surfaces apply as a coarse spray at the rate of 1L of emulsion per 20 m². When treating non-porous surfaces do not exceed the point of run-off. On porous surfaces or use through power equipment, spray at the rate of 1L of emulsion per 10 m². When treating porous surfaces do not exceed the point of run-off. Use the higher rate in situations where pest pressure is high, when rapid knockdown and/or maximum residual protection is desired. The lower rate may be used for follow-up treatments. For indoor use, pay particular attention to dark protected areas such as cracks and crevices, behind and under sinks, stoves, refrigerators, furniture, pipes, cornices, skirting boards and other known hiding or resting places. Do not use as a space spray. To control fleas and ticks apply prepared emulsion to outside surfaces of buildings and surrounds including but not limited to foundations, verandahs, window frames, eaves, patios, garages, pet housing, soil, turf, trunks of woody ornamentals or other areas where pests congregate or have been seen. To control flies and mosquitoes apply prepared emulsion to surfaces where insects rest or harbour. Reapply as necessary.
Subterranean Termites	Domestic, Public, Commercial & Industrial areas	All states, except Tas	Refer to Table A	For perimeter treatments apply the prepared emulsion to a band of soil or vegetation two to three meters wide around and adjacent to the structure. Also treat the foundation of the structure to a height of 500 mm. Use a spray volume of 5 L/10 per 100 m². Higher volume of water may be needed if organic matter is present or foliage is dense. Refer to Table B.

The need for retreatment is to be determined as a result of at least an annual inspection, or more frequently in high risk areas, by a qualified Pest Control Operator. The actual protection period will depend on the termite hazard, climate, soil conditions and rate of termiticide used.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS General Pest Control - Fivestar is a powerful knockdown and residual pesticide. Ants, cockroaches, fleas, flies, mosquitoes, spiders, ticks and wasps are controlled by direct contact with spray and also by residual action as they come into contact with treated surfaces.

Termites - The use of Fivestar will help prevent and control subterranean termite infestations in and around buildings and structures when used in accordance with the Australian Standard AS 3660 Series, Termite Management. A dilute termiticidal emulsion must be adequately dispersed into the soil to establish a barrier between the building and subterranean termites in the soil. The purpose of a termite barrier is to prevent concealed termite entry into the building. The biology and behaviour of the termite species involved, should be considered by the Pest Control Operator in determining which control measures are most appropriate to control and prevent termite infestation.

Crops, Ornamentals, Turf – This product can be used as a protective treatment when applied at regular intervals or as a knockdown treatment to control existing pests. Best results are obtained when the product is applied before pest populations build up to damaging levels.

APPLICATION – Turf, Ornamentals, Crops Fivestar is a suspension concentrate requiring dilution with water prior to use. Applications should be made with ground application equipment calibrated to deliver a fine spray in a suitable volume to ensure thorough coverage. Use suitable application equipment and preferably cone nozzle combinations to deliver appropriate spray volume and a droplet size of 150-200 microns. Do not apply as a fog or mist.

INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING GROUP 3A INSECTICIDE For insecticide resistance management Fivestar is a Group 3A insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to Fivestar and other Group 3A insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if Fivestar or other Group 3A insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of Fivestar on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, PCT Holdings Pty Ltd. accepts no liability for any loses that may result from the failure of Fivestar to control resistant insects. Fivestar may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information contact your local supplier, PCT representative or local agricultural department agronomist.

MIXING Add the required quantity of Fivestar to water in the spray tank and thoroughly. Maintain agitation during both mixing and application. For termites - to facilitate even application of the termiticide emulsion over the area to be treated, the addition of a marker dye at label rates is recommended. On hard to wet soils, the penetration of the termiticide emulsion may be improved by the addition of a soil surfactant at label rates.

Turf – to aid in even coverage a minimum spray volume of 200L/ha is recommended. High volumes can be used as in all cases the insecticide needs to be incorporated into the turf thatch and upper soil.

COMPATIBILITY Fivestar is compatible with commonly used fungicides such as Dithane M45, Antracol, Bravo 500 and Kocide.

SURFACTANTS Fivestar contains a surfactant. Additional surfactant may be only necessary on hard to wet plants and in high volume situations.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: RESTRAINTS: DO NOT use in situations or orchards where predatory mites are established and providing effective mite control. DO NOT apply if rainfall is expected before spray deposits have dried on leaves.

TABLE B: CRITICAL COMMENTS for use against SUBTERRANEAN TERMITES

Situations	Critical Comments
Perimeter Barriers for existing buildings	♦ Perimeter barriers (both horizontal and vertical, external and where required, internal) are an essential part of termite protection and must be installed on the known infestation of the building. Perimeter barriers should be installed around slabs, piers, substructure walls and external penetration points.
Post-Construction Treatments for the protection of existing buildings	♦ Apply by using suitable application equipment to form a continuous chemical barrier (both vertical and horizontal) around the structure and to a depth reaching to 80 mm below the top of the footings, where appropriate. The formation of the barrier may require a combination of several application techniques, including trenching and rodding and opening of internal floor walls or expansion joints.
	♦ Chemical barriers beneath concrete slabs and paths will require concrete drilling. Recommended drill hole spacings are between 150 and 300 mm. Drill holes must be drilled to the slab edge, to the footing or to the soil. Inject emulsion per linear metre. To ensure formation of a continuous barrier holes should be drilled no more than 150 mm from walls or expansion joints.
	♦ For areas beneath suspended floors that have inadequate access (eg less than 400 mm clearance), the entire sub-floor area should be treated as a continuous horizontal barrier, which completely an abut an internal or external wall. Otherwise, install perimeter barriers around all stumps, piers, penetration points and along all substructure walls.
	♦ Chemical barriers that have been disturbed by construction, excavation and/or landscaping activities will need to be reapplied to restore continuity of the barrier.
Protection of Service Poles and Posts	♦ Create a continuous termiticide barrier 450 mm deep and 150 mm wide around the pole or post by soil injection or rodding. For new poles and posts, treat backfill and the bottom of the hole. Use 100 L of emulsion per m³ of soil.
	♦ Regular inspections should be undertaken to determine when and if retreatment is necessary. If disturbance of the barrier has occurred, reapplication of the barrier should be carried out.
	♦ Posts and poles may also be drilled and injected with spray solution.
	♦ Note: For existing poles and posts, it is impractical to treat the full depth and underneath of such posts and therefore the possibility of future attack from below the treated area cannot be ruled out.
Eradication of Termite Nest	♦ Locate nest and flood with insecticide emulsion. Trees, poles and stumps containing nests may require drilling prior to treatment with termiticide emulsion. The purpose of drilling is to ensure the termiticide emulsion is distributed throughout the entire nest. Drill holes in live trees should be sealed with an appropriate caulking compound after injection.

Note: The termiticide barrier provided by this product has a finite life. This together with the recommendation to undertake annual inspections must be stated on the durable notice required by the BCA, B1.3(j)(ii).

CROP	PEST	STATE	RATE	CRITICAL COMMENTS
Turf (eg lawns, commercial turf farms, parks, recreational areas, bowling greens, sports fields)	Lawn armyworm (Spodoptera mauritia) (larvae)	All states	1.5L/ha (15mL/100m²)	Mix product in water and apply evenly over the area to be treated using suitable application equipment. Use a minimum total volume of at least 200L/ha (2L/100 m²) of water to ensure the insecticide is incorporated into the turf thatch. Treat the treated areas with up to 4mm of water soon after application. Inspect treated areas for re-infestation and re-apply as required. Where a rate range is indicated use lower rates under low insect pressure and higher rates under higher insect pressure. Apply after mowing to minimise loss of chemical on clippings.
	Argentine stem weevil adults (Listronotus bonariensis)		1.5L/ha (15mL/100m²)	Mix product in water and apply evenly over the area to be treated using spray equipment. Apply when adult weevils are active. Where possible spray directly into the nests. Use the spray directly into the nests. Use the lower rate for maintenance of the area or to control light infestations and theh maximum rate for heavy infestations. Apply with funnel ants from a particular site will generally require more than one application. Initial applications should be broadcast over affected areas. As the initial numbers of active colonies is reduced, repeat applications should be targeting active mounds. Apply spray directly to the mound and in the area immediately surrounding active mounds (300mm radius).
	African black beetle (Heteronychus arator)		3.0 to 4.5L/ha (30 to 60mL/100m²)
	Billbug adults (Sphenophorus brumipennis)		1.5L/ha (15mL/100m²)
