Totality Wood Treatment

Totality Wood Treatment, manufactured by FMC Technologies, is an excellent wood preservative insecticide and termiticide designed to provide long-lasting protection for up to 2 years against destructive pests like termites, carpenter ants, deathwatch beetles and more.

This product is formulated with bifenthrin, a highly effective pyrethroid insecticide. This active ingredient creates a strong barrier that eliminates and repels a broad range of wood-infesting insects such as subterranean termites, powder-post beetles, and old house borers. Unlike traditional insecticides that break down quickly, bifenthrin remains active in treated wood for several years, ensuring continued protection with minimal reapplication.

Totality Wood Treatment is an economical solution penetrating deeply into wood fibers, ensuring complete coverage for small to large scale wood treatment projects for residential, commercial, and industrial structures.

Tools Needed

This product can be applied with a handheld pump sprayer, backpack sprayer, foamer, paint brush, of type of injection tool.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much Totality Wood Treatment to use by figuring out what type of application method you intend to use and the treatment area as the rate varies. A surface application method for totality wood treatment must be applied at a minimum rate of 3.2 oz. of product per 1 gallon of water (this creates a 0.6% solution). Refer to the product label for specific application rates and restrictions.
• Step 2: Fill a mixing container or spray tank with half the amount of water, add the proper amount of product, then pour in the last half of the water. Stir or agitate the solution until well-mixed.
• Step 3: Apply one coat of diluted Totality Wood Treatment solution up to the point of runoff by brush, spray or foam application. Full absorption of the 0.6% sprayed solution will vary on the wood species, relative moisture, and degree of sapwood in the wood being treated. At the level of surface saturation, a 0.6% dilution applied via surface application provides the optimal level of protection for treated wood.

Where to Use

Totality Wood Treatment can be used for wood and other cellulosic materials in commercial, industrial, institutional, public, and residential buildings.

It is intended to be applied only to bare wood, plywood, particle board, or other cellulose-based building materials in the absence of paint, stains, or sealers. Such materials will prevent the product from properly adhering to cellulose surfaces.)

Firewood is not to be treated.

When to Use

For best results, apply the product solution to dry wood.

Apply Totality Wood Treatment to wood or other cellulosic materials during the dried-in stage of construction. Apply when access to wooden or cellulosic components is optimized and when no further framing modifications, cuts, notches, or access holes (for plumbing, ventilation, electrical, etc.) will be made, such as after final framing inspection. Treating prior to the installation of other construction components that may hinder proper treatment (insulation, electrical, heating and cooling systems, exterior wraps, etc.) will help ensure more complete protection.

Safety Information

Totality Wood Treatment is safe to use around children and pets when applied according to the product label instructions. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when mixing and applying this product. 

Do not apply to pets, crops, or sources of electricity.

Special Considerations

Do not use for new construction treatments if the total linear footage of the cellulosic base plates is less than 60% of the total linear footage of all base plates to include exterior and interior walls. In new construction with 60% or more lineal footage of base plates, but without continuous wood on every exterior wall, Totality Wood Treatment must be applied to all other exterior construction materials, including brick or block, to a height of 2 feet and extended out onto the slab at a minimum of 2 inches to a maximum of 8 inches.

Use only in well ventilated areas.
