The Termite Problem
Termites commonly known as White Ants live in the soil and are found damaging standing crops, seedlings, wooden furniture and building material. Termite lives in large colonies of thousands. Each colony has one or more queen which lay eggs. The egg develops into new colony members. The queen is surrounded by the workers in the colony in several thousands. Worker termites continuously move to and fro from the soil to source of the food including wood and cellulose material which they eat and digest. During the rainy season, a large number of both sexes are produced. They travel distant unhabitated area and excavate small burrows near the soil surface and prefer well aerated place which is well pulverized. This particularly suits the ploughed fields and building sites where during the construction, deep digging is done.

The upper zone of the soil layer is where the termite attack generally takes place. In seedlings, young and mature plants, the root system is completely severed due to the underground feeding by termites on tap roots, and / or lateral roots, resulting in loss of vigour, yellowing, wilting and ultimately leading to its death. Similar effect is noticed in case of ring barking of the tap roots and collar region.

WHY CALIBER – The Termite Terminator
The basis of Termite control is to break the wood-soil contacts, making it difficult for the Termite to reach the wood or cellulose. Our age of chemicals warfare seen the emergence of many deadly poisonous compounds like Aldrin and Chlordane to control termites. These are causing irremediable damage to human existence and to our environment. Keeping this in view, the unique herbal, Non-poisonous, Eco-friendly Termite Terminator CALIBER with “anti fungal characteristics” derived from exclusive plant alkaloids was invented.

Mode of action
CALIBER is an emulsifiable concentrate of plant alkaloids origin. It has broad spectrum action which ensures excellent control of all types of Termites. CALIBER has triple action viz. stomach, contact and vapour action resulting in faster killing of termites. Caliber has longer persistence in soil without any harmful effect on soil or crop, thereby giving protection for longer periods.

Application
Agriculture
Seed Treatment (specially wheat) : Mix 500 ml CALIBER in 5.0 litre water and spray on 100 kg seeds.
With Irrigation : 1200-1500 ml per acre with irrigation (drip by drip)

Forestry & Nursery
Soil Mixing Method: Prepare solution of 750 ml of CALIBER in 50 litre of water. Use this mix with 1 cubic meter of soil in rotary drum. This soil is sufficient for 1000 polyethylene bags of 20 x 10 cm size.

Drenching Polythene Bags: Prepare solution of 750 ml of CALIBER in 50 litre of water. Keep polyethylene bags containing seedlings as close as possible and drench the soil with above solution.

Soil Treatment: Prepare a solution of 15 ml CALIBER in one litre of water. Apply 1 litre solution by digging 15 cm deep trench in approx. 0.2 m2 area encircling the base of a tree.

Bark treatment: Prepare a solution of 15 ml CALIBER in one litre of water. First scrape off earthen sheaths or galleries / run always. Apply CALIBER solution either as spray or paint with brush on trunks.

Building & Construction
CALIBER acts as a barrier around the building protecting it against termites. Its effect in controlling termites lasts for several years. It is best to give CALIBER treatment at the foundation stage itself. The floor and the walls of the foundation are soaked with a solution of CALIBER. Likewise soil below the plinth area should also be treated with CALIBER before tiling or concreting.

Pre Construction Treatment: After digging, CALIBER should be applied to treat the bottom and sides. 5.0 litre of CALIBER spray fluid / meter sq. to reach 30 cm depth.

Post Construction Treatment: CALIBER may be given by drilling holes along the periphery of the building close to the wall and pouring the required quantity of CALIBER solution to completely soak the soil. Similarly, plinth area also to be treated with CALIBER, pouring the solution in drilled holes. Is there any sentence here? The below sentence seems abrupt 7.5 litre CALIBER spray fluid per linear meter in the refill earth on both sides of all built-up walls.

Before Laying Of Floor: Before laying the floor, the top surface of the consolidated earth within the plinth wall may be drenched with @ 5.0 litre of CALIBER spray fluid per square meter.

Note:- Mix 1.0 litre of CALIBER in 20 litre of water or preferably kerosene to prepare spray fluid.

Woodwork & Furniture
Oil, Turpentine or Kerosene of based solution of CALIBER 0.5% concentrate is useful for the treatment of woods and plywood. The solution can be prepared 14 ml in one litre of oil / turpentine / kerosene and coated 2 times with a paint brush.

In case of wooden structure which is affected, inject the spray fluid with hand compressed spray or hypodermic needle in to the wood. For lasting solution, the termite should be located in the vicinity and destroyed by flooding the mound with kerosene based spray fluid.

Timber Plywood Protection
20 ml CALIBER per glue line mixture.
