With its extensive label recommendations Ficam® D is easy and ready to use and comes in a re-sealable pack.
It is a biodegradable product with no risk of environmental contamination. It is ideal to use where liquid-based formulations are unsuitable.

Directions for use
Application
Apply Ficam D by hand shaker or puffer, bellows or piston type gun or rotary blower at a dose rate of 10 – 20 g Ficam D per m2.
Wasp and hornet control
Ficam D may be used alone for wasp and hornet control in buildings. It should be applied to all areas where insect pests are found, particularly hiding places and runways.
More usually, Ficam D is used in conjunction with a suitable spray treatment such as Ficam W. Exposed areas and cracks and crevices should be treated with the spray and Ficam D should be applied to inaccessible areas such as service ducts, roof voids and around electrical equipment where spraying is undesirable. Where access is particularly restricted, such as behind wall or bath panelling, drill a small hole, blow in Ficam D and reseal.
Wasps and hornets
Apply Ficam D to the nest entrance and surrounding area. Although Ficam D will not excite them, care should be taken as the presence of the operator may do so.
