How much Woodfume is required to treat a utility pole with an original circumference of 28 inches?

• A. 1 pint distributed in 4 holes
• B. 2 pints in 4 holes
• C. 1/2 pint in 2 holes
• D. 1 pint in 2 holes

Answer: (A)

The idea is to get the fumigant to flow through the wood from several entry points, so the interior is evenly exposed. For a pole with an original circumference of 28 inches, a total of 1 pint of Woodfume distributed among four holes spaced around the pole provides that even distribution. Spreading the same amount into fewer holes would leave parts of the pole under-treated, while using more than 1 pint or concentrating it in fewer holes isn’t necessary for this size and would exceed typical label guidelines. So, 1 pint in 4 holes best ensures complete, uniform treatment.
