ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS:
This pesticide is extremely toxic to aquatic organisms, including fish and invertebrates. To protect the environment, do not allow pesticide to enter or run off into storm drains, drainage ditches, gutters or surface waters. Applying this product in calm weather when rain is not predicted for the next 24 hours will help to ensure that wind or rain does not blow or wash pesticide off the treatment area. Rinsing application equipment over the treated area will help avoid run off to water bodies or drainage systems.
This pesticide is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment on blooming crops or weeds. Do not apply this product or allow it to drift to blooming crops or weeds while bees are foraging the treatment area.
KEEP CONTAINER SEALED WHEN NOT IN USE.
Directions For Use
For both indoor and outdoor use.
It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
RESISTANCE-MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
For resistance management, Permectrin CDS contains a Group 3A insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Permectrin CDS. The resistant individuals may dominate the insect population if this group of insecticides are used repeatedly in the same sites. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed. Contact your local extension specialist advisors for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for the specific pest problems in your area. Do not allow to enter indoor or outdoor drains.

Application is prohibited directly into sewers or drains, or to any area like a gutter where drainage to sewers, storm drains, water bodies, or aquatic habitat can occur. Do not allow the product to enter any drain during or after application.

All outdoor applications must be limited to spot or crack-and-crevice treatments only, except for the following permitted uses:
1. Perimeter band treatments of 7 feet wide or less from the base of a man-made structure to pervious surfaces (e.g., soil);
2. Applications to underside of eaves, soffits, doors, or windows permanently protected from rainfall by a covering, overhang, awning, or other structure;
3. Applications around potential exterior pest entry points into man-made structures such as doorways and windows, when limited to a band not to exceed one inch;
4. Applications to vertical surfaces (such as the side of a man-made structure) directly above impervious surfaces (e.g., driveways, sidewalks, etc.), up to 2 feet above ground level;
5. Applications to vertical surfaces directly above pervious surfaces, such as soil, or other vegetation) only if the pervious surface does not drain into ditches, storm drains, gutters, or surface waters.
