Note
Permethrin is highly toxic to bees and extreme caution must be taken to avoid contact by spray or spray drift with the bees, hive, or any other surfaces that bees may contact.When hives are present, applications may only be made with a sprinkler can. Hand pump sprayers may only be used when hives are not present and only for pre-placement cleanup of apiary. Do not contaminate any water or food source that may be in the area or apply during windy conditions. For better soil penetration and improved efficacy, cut grass around hive prior to application.** Do not apply dilutions for premise treatment directly on livestock or poultry. Ensure that feed and water are not contaminated by spray drift. For space spraying, do not remain in treated areas and, upon reentry, open windows and ventilate the area for at least 2 hours. Animals should be removed from area prior to treatment. The use of any residual fly spray should be supplemented with proper manure management and general sanitation to reduce or eliminate fly breeding sites.
Storage And Disposal
Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage or disposal.
Pesticide Storage And Spill Procedures
Store upright at room temperature. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures. In case of spill or leakage, soak up with an absorbent material such as sand, sawdust, earth, fuller’s earth, etc. Dispose of with chemical waste.Pesticide Disposal
Pesticide wastes 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
