PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Applicators and other handlers must wear the following:

● Long-sleeved shirt and long pants;

● Chemical-resistant gloves made of barrier laminate, nitrile rubber ≥ 14 mils, neoprene rubber ≥ 14 mils, or Viton ≥ 14 mils when mixing/loading or when using handheld equipment

● Shoes and socks

● Chemical-resistant apron for persons cleaning equipment and for handlers performing animal dip applications

USER SAFETY REQUIREMENTS: Follow manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry. Discard clothing and other absorbent materials that have been drenched or heavily contaminated with this product’s concentrate. Do not reuse them.

USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

Users should:

● Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.

● Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS: This product 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. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate. 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. See Directions for Use for additional precautions and requirements.

Pollinator Advisory: This product is highly toxic to bees and other pollinating insects exposed to direct treatment or to residues in/on blooming crops or weeds. Do not allow this product to drift to blooming crops or weeds while bees are actively foraging the treatment area. Protect pollinating insects by following label directions intended to minimize drift and reduce pesticide risk to these organisms.

Directions For Use

It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.

USE RESTRICTIONS:

● For both indoor and outdoor use.

● Apply this product only as specified on the label.

● Only for use on beef cattle and calves.

● Not for use on veal calves or dairy cattle.

● Not for use in commercial animal premise automatic misting systems.

● Removable chemical extraction probes (also knows as “stingers”) used in suction/extraction systems must be rinsed within the pesticide container prior to removal.

● Do not apply this product to face of beef cattle or calves.

● Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application.

● Do not apply the product into fish pools, ponds, streams or lakes. Do not apply directly to 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.

● For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.

RESISTANCE-MANAGEMENT: For resistance-management, please note that Starbar^® Inhibidor™ Insecticidal Pour-On (Inhibidor™) contains both a Group 15/diflubenzuron and Group 3A/lambda-cyhalothrin insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Inhibidor™ and other Group 15 or Group 3A insecticides. The resistant individuals may dominate the insect population if these insecticides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.

To delay insecticide/acaricide resistance, take the following steps:

● Rotate the use of Inhibidor™ and other Group 15 or Group 3A insecticides within a growing season, or among growing seasons, with different groups that control the same pests.

● Use tank mixtures with insecticides from a different group that are equally effective on the target pest when such use is permitted. Do not rely on the same mixture repeatedly for the same pest population. Consider any known cross-resistance issues (for the targeted pests) between the individual components of the mixture. In addition, consider the following recommendations provided by the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC):
• Individual insecticides selected for use in mixtures should be highly effective and be applied at the rates at which they are individually registered for use against the target species.
• Mixtures with components having the same IRAC mode of action classification are not recommended for insect resistance-management.
• When using mixtures, consider any known cross-resistance issues between the individual components for the targeted pest(s).
• Mixtures become less effective if resistance is already developing to one or both active ingredients, but they may still provide pest management benefits.
• The insecticide/acaricide resistance-management benefits of a mixture are greatest if the two components have similar periods of residual insecticidal activity. Mixtures of insecticides with unequal periods of residual insecticide activity may offer an insect resistance-management benefit only for the period where both insecticides are active.

● Adopt an integrated pest management program for insecticide use that includes scouting, uses historical information related to pesticide use, crop rotation, record keeping, and which considers cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.

● Monitor after application for unexpected target pest survival. If the level of survival suggests the presence of resistance, consult with your local university specialist or certified pest control advisor.

● Contact your local extension specialist for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for the specific site and pest problems in your area.

● For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Central Garden & Pet Company at 1-800-347-8272 or at www.starbarproducts.com.
