Paint/chemical for kill/stop ants eating the wood?

Featured Replies

Can anyone recomend some paint(i was told there is such), or another spray/chemical that stops the ants(i believe) eating the wood in the house??  Is it enough to spray on the wood with ars/baygon to make them stop? 

Do you mean Termites ? , try  Chaindrite  you can get

it in spray can,

supermarkets and hardware stores have plenty of evil looking, and probabaly banned in the west, products for insect control. not expensive just try a few out.

Yes, Chaindrite they do liquid also that you can get from places like Do-Home, Home Hub, before we hung the door's we painted them in this, then varnished when dried. 

Yes Chaindrite in the big cans for painting directly onto wood, I have used it for years, once painted on the the ants wont go near it.

No that's a spray that you dilute 14:1 and spray all around outside the house, the stuff to buy is Chiandrite wood preservative it comes in 1.8 ltr cans with a screw top

If you can translate here is a picture of the back. I believe that there were cans when we were building our house, this bottle was bought for a external door on mother in-law rice shed, we just painted it straight on, they ain't touched yet.

Can anyone identify the active chemical from the label? I have some woodworm fluid I bought in UK a long while ago; when I checked online I found the active chemical had been banned under the Stockholm Convention 20 years ago! Good stuff: when I inject into woodworm holes the little critters come scuttling out!

This is the correct stuff for treating inside or outside wood in a house. 

It is clear and absorbs into the wood quickly with very little smell
