Product Information

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. I can also report that I noticed far fewer spiders coming into the home during the autumn months, a time of year when I usually see quite a few. Spiderex can be used outdoors, but I was able to scrub it off timber and plastic with a sponge, so I believe it will need to be reapplied more frequently if it’s sprayed onto a surface that’s subjected to a lot of rain. It’s not 100% waterproof, but it did not wash off with just a splash of water; I had to scrub it with reasonable effort to get it off. I would describe Spiderex as water-resistant. Odour Stop woodlice coming inside your home by filling any obvious points of entry with decorators caulk or a similar product, and spray the outside area with a long lasting residual spray such as Dethlac or Digrain C40 WP woodlice killer.

The product did leave a slight sheen on my dark brown window and door frames but I scrubbed it off and it didn’t leave any permanent stains. The second thing I noticed was that it took a while to dry. It was touch-dry on the plastic and timber doors/window frames after about 30 minutes. I’m 100% sure Spiderex is effective and I noticed a drop in the number of spider incursions, but I was very thorough in treating the entrance points; I even sprayed around cable and pipes that entered the property and the insides of all the window and door frames.

It did leave a slight sheen on my plasterboarded walls which were painted with matt emulsion and were very absorbent – but it was barely noticeable and only from an angle. Waterproofness I did find that it was more visible on the brown uPVC and timber door and window frames, where it left a slight sheen, but as part of my test, I wanted to see if the sheen was permanent, so I scrubbed it with a sponge and water – the product washed off but only after some scrubbing and it didn’t leave any persisting marks on the plastic or timber.

Dethlac Gerhardt Pharmaceuticals Ltd. - Dethlac

Woodlice are fascinating insects and when it comes to finding out what they eat, their name speaks for itself. Woodlice are not particularly harmful outdoors but can be if they end up indoors. They may occasionally nibble young seedlings, but they are generally more interested in dead leaves and decaying material.Once sprayed, Dethlac dries to a hard clear film, which remains fully effective for months, even when it rains (for ants in the garden) or if the surface is washed with detergents (for ants in the kitchen and around the home). Dethlac can be used indoors and outdoors and may be applied on any firm non-absorbent surface, ie doors, window frames (not upvc), skirting boards, shelves, concrete & patios etc. It didn’t mark my cream carpets but did soak into my plasterboard walls and left a sheen mark – the next time I use it, I’ll be a little more careful around absorbent surfaces but even here it was barely visible. No. As with most aerosols, Dethlac® has a shelf life of two years. Expiry date is at the base of the can.

I can only recommend Dethlac as an alternative to Spiderex if y ou only use it in inconspicuous areas, but it does work out much cheaper.
