Product: Dethlac® Insecticidal Lacquer, Barcode: 5 014009 022616
No. As with most aerosols, Dethlac® has a shelf life of two years. Expiry date is at the base of the can.
Dethlac® is a lacquer, containing the insecticides Deltamethrin and Natural Pyrethrum, which dries to a hard clear film after a few minutes. Dethlac should be sprayed where the ants appear in the kitchen (please read directions, as it should not be sprayed onto any food preparing surfaces). The ants crawl over the lacquer, carry it back to the nest and your kitchen should be free of ants.
One application remains fully effective for several weeks, even when it rains. You can wash the surface (with or without detergents) and Dethlac® will go on killing insects.
Spray 15-23 cm (6-9 inches) directly at surface, in bands of 8-15 cm (3-6 inches) wide.
It is not a requirement to wear a mask, but as directed on the can: Do not breathe the spray mist.
The aerosol should be disposed of in a safe way, the same way as you would dispose any other aerosol.
You won’t see any ants or crawling insects!
Yes the insecticides in Dethlac® are toxic to fish. Remove or cover fish tanks, bowls and aquariums before application.
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.
Hardly at all.

To remove Dethlac, you can use Methylated Spirit, IPA (Isopropyl 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.
Yes Dethlac® may be used indoors & outdoors. 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 (e.g. for the control of flying insect pests) and is also not designed to be sprayed on plants, soil or grass; but on any firm non-absorbent surface.
Dethlac® Insecticidal Lacquer is a ready to use insecticide for amateur and professional use against ants, woodlice, cockroaches, fleas and other crawling insects. To be used only on hard, non-porous surfaces indoors and outdoors (not upvc).
