Totality Wood Treatment is a wood preservative designed for use by licensed or registered individuals or firms to protect wood and cellulosic materials from subterranean termites and other wood-destroying insects. The active ingredient is Bifenthrin at a concentration of 23.4%. It is intended for use in commercial, industrial, institutional, and residential buildings. The product can be applied via spray, brush, or roller to treated wood surfaces. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, including structural lumber, sill plates, joists, studs, and various wood components. The treatment is effective against subterranean termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees, powderpost beetles, and wood-boring insects. Handling requires specific personal protective equipment (PPE), including long-sleeved shirts, long pants, shoes, and chemical-resistant gloves. If used in a non-ventilated area, respiratory protection such as a NIOSH-approved organic vapor respirator may be required. Users must avoid contact with food, water, or feed during and after application. The product is a dual/emulsifiable concentrate that must be diluted with water according to specific application needs.
