TREATING WOODWORK OF BUILDINGS AND FURNITURE 
PREVENTING DAMAGE BY LYCTUS POWDER-POST BEETLES 
In the case of powder-post damage to the timbers, interior woodwork, or 
furniture in buildings, the infested wood should be drenched with Termitgas with 
a brush, saturated rag, or mop, or if this is impracticable, the timbers should 
be sprayed with this liquid. 
If Termitgas is used as a spray, it is advisable to open up the house, since 
there is an odor to the chemical which may prove disagreeable in a closed 
room. Also, in spraying timbers overhead care should be taken not to let the 
liquid drip down, since it might slightly burn the face and hands and would 
be especially injurious if it got into the eyes. 
The Termitgas treatment is likely to remove the finish from the woodwork 
or furniture. After the treatment, if no further evidence of the insects appears, 
the wood can be refinished if necessary. 
Avoid getting TERMITGAS or its mixtures on your skin or eyes. Should any 
accidentally contact your skin or eyes, bathe them with Boric Acid Solution (the 
eyes) and to relieve a mild skin irritation, apply solution of Bicarbonate of 
Soda in water. Rubbing alcohol mixed with equal part of water is very 
beneficial.
