If swallowed:

● Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice.

Note To Physician: This product is an organophosphate. Pirimiphos-methyl is a cholinesterase inhibitor. Treat symptomatically. If exposed, plasma and red blood cell cholinesterase tests may indicate significance of exposure (baseline data are useful). Give 2 mg of atropine intramuscularly or subcutaneously and repeat if symptoms of poisoning reappear. Pralidoxime (2 PAM) may be therapeutic if used early; however, use only in conjunction with atropine. In case of severe poisoning, use antidote immediately after establishing an open airway and respiration. Probable mucosal damage may contraindicate the use of gastric lavage.

Directions For Use

It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. The labeling must be in the possession of the user at the time of pesticide application. Do not handle or apply this product in a way that will contact workers or others. Use this product only as specified on the label.

For optimum control and to minimize development of insect resistance, use two tags per animal (one in each ear). All animals in the herd should be tagged. Apply when flies first appear in spring. Replace as necessary. Apply with ALLFLEX^®* Tagging System. Tags remain effective up to 5 months. Remove tags in fall.

Continual exposure of Horn flies to a single class of insecticide (eg, pyrethroids or organophosphates) may lead to the development of resistance to that class of insecticide. In order to reduce the possibility of Horn flies developing resistance, it is important to rotate the class of insecticide used and/or the method of Horn fly control on a seasonal basis. For advice concerning current control practices with relation to specific local conditions, consult resources in resistance management programs such as veterinarian and/or your Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service.

Storage And Disposal

Do not contaminate water, food, or feed by storage or disposal.

Pesticide Storage: Store in cool place away from direct sunlight. Opened pouches containing ear tags should be resealed for storage.

Pesticide Disposal: Pesticides are acutely hazardous. Improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixture, or rinsate is a violation of Federal law. If these wastes cannot be disposed of by use according to label instructions, contact your State Pesticide or Environmental Control Agency, or the Hazardous Waste representative at the nearest EPA Regional Office for guidance.

Container Disposal: Dispose of empty bag in a sanitary landfill or by incineration, or, if allowed by State and local authorities, by burning. If burned, stay out of smoke.
