Safety Information

Technical Details
- Home Defense contains 0.5g/L bifenthrin, a new technology insecticide that is not a scheduled poison and is of very low toxicity to humans, animals and birds
- The chemical in Home Defense, bifenthrin, works in two ways: by killing when sprayed directly on to insects and spiders (contactkilling) & by direct contact with the chemical when it is sprayed on to surfaces around the home that insects and spiders may travel across (residual effect)
- Residual control on non-porous surfaces (timber, fibre cement, ceramic, glass, aluminium, painted surfaces) may last for up to 9 monthsprovided the surface is not exposed to weather or other factors that may disturb it.
- On porous surfaces (bricks and concrete, for example) residual effect will be significantly shorter.
