The product may only be used in buildings where people stay for a long time (residences, office buildings and workplaces) where people generally only occasionally and briefly come into contact with treated wood (e.g. roof structures, skunk rooms and joists in basements and under floor structures ).

Since ProtoxInsekt contains both a combating and preventive effect, you avoid having to treat with multiple agents to stop ongoing attacks and secure the woodwork against future attacks.
