Q- I have some very old Dethlac in the garage, is it still safe to use?
No. As with most aerosols, Dethlac has a shelf life of two years. Expiry date is at the base of the can.

Q- How does it work and how will it keep ants and insects out of the kitchen?
Dethlac is a lacquer, containing an insecticide, which dries to a hard clear film. Dethlac should be sprayed where the ants are in the kitchen (please read directions, as it should not be sprayed onto food preparing surfaces). The ants crawl over the lacquer and take it back to the nest and your kitchen should be free of ants.

Q-How far away do you have to be when spraying a doorstep for example?
Spray 15-23cms (6-9") directly at surface, in bands of 8-15cms (3-6").

Q- Will I need to wear a mask?
It is not a requirement to wear a mask, but you should not breathe the spray mist.

Q- Where do I throw the empty container away?
The aerosol should be disposed of in a safe way, the same way as you would dispose any other aerosol.

Q- How do I know if it is working, what difference will I see?
The ants will have gone!

Q- Will it affect fish?
Yes it is harmful to fish. Remove or cover fish tanks and bowls before application.

Q-What happens if my children or pets go near the affected area?
It is perfectly safe once the spray is dry, which is normally within a few minutes. However, we would recommend that children and pets are kept away whilst spraying.

Q- Does it smell?
Hardly at all.

Q-Where can I buy it from?
Please see our stockists page for a list of retailers or use the 'online ordering' link to order straight away.

Q- I have sprayed it on my kitchen worktop by mistake, how do I remove it?
To remove Dethlac, you can use Methylated Spirit, IPA (Iso Propyl Alcohol) or Baking Soda ( mix 1 part to 9 parts of quite hot water). Please always try a small patch first in case of discolouration. Wash over with warm/hot soapy water afterwards.

Q- Can I use Dethlac in my kitchen and in the garden?
Yes it can be used inside and outside. It will not be affected by the rain and will remain effective even when the kitchen floor is washed. Dethlac is not a space spray and is also not designed to be sprayed on plants, soil or grass; but on any firm non-absorbent surface.
