Active Ingredients:

Permethrin 20% w/w

Permethrin is a synthetic neurotoxin that belongs to the pyrethroid family, used in pest control. In the case of woodworm treatment, such as Woodguard Insecticide, it works by disrupting the nervous system of the larvae of wood-boring beetles when they ingest treated wood. The affected larvae eventually die, halting the infestation cycle. This formulation of Permethrin (20% w/w) is designed to be potent against woodworms yet safe for application on timber, when used as directed.
