Work/Hygienic Procedures: Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, using the toilet or applying cosmetics.; Remove Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) immediately after handling this product. Before removing gloves clean them with soap and water. Remove soiled clothing immediately and clean thoroughly before using again. Wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.

SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

General Protection: Follow all label instructions. Train employees in safe use of the product.; Follow manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables, use detergent and warm/tepid water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.

Eye/Face Protection: Tightly fitting safety goggles

Hand protection: Chemical resistant nitrile rubber gloves

Body Protection: Wear long-sleeved shirt and long pants and shoes plus socks.

Respiratory protection: When respirators are required, select NIOSH approved equipment based on actual or potential airborne concentrations and in accordance with the appropriate regulatory standards and/or industry recommendations.

SECTION 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Only acute toxicity studies have been performed on the formulated product. The non-acute information pertains to the technical-grade active ingredients, imidacloprid and beta-cyfluthrin, an enriched isomer mixture of cyfluthrin. Further toxicological information on technical-grade cyfluthrin can be obtained by calling the Product Information Number, which is listed in Section 1 of this MSDS.

Acute oral toxicity: female rat : LD50 : > 1,044 mg/kg

Acute dermal toxicity: rat : LD50 : > 2,000 mg/kg

Acute inhalation toxicity: rat : LC50 : > 2.03 mg/l
Exposure time: 4 h
Determined in the form of liquid aerosol.

Skin irritation: rabbit : slight irritation

Eye irritation: rabbit : Mild eye irritation.

Sensitisation: guinea pig : Non-sensitizing.

Chronic toxicity: Imidacloprid caused thyroid and/or liver effects in chronic dietary studies in rats and dogs. Cyfluthrin, a racemic mixture containing beta-cyfluthrin, caused no long term effects in rat, mice or dogs.

Assessment Carcinogenicity

Imidacloprid was not carcinogenic in studies in rats and mice.

Cyfluthrin was not carcinogenic in studies in rats and mice.

ACGIH: None.

NTP: None.

IARC: None.

OSHA: None.

Reproductive toxicity: REPRODUCTION: Imidacloprid was not a reproductive toxicant in a multigeneration study in rats.

Beta-Cyfluthrin was not a reproductive toxicant in a multi-generation study in rats.

DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Imidacloprid is not considered a primary developmental toxicant in rats and rabbits. Developmental effects were observed at doses that caused maternal toxicity.

Beta-cyfluthrin was not a primary developmental toxicant in rats. Developmental effects were observed but were considered secondary to maternal toxicity.

Neurotoxicity: Imidacloprid showed slight behavioral and activity changes only at the highest dose tested in neurotoxicity studies in rats. There were no correlating morphological changes observed in the neural tissues.; Beta-cyfluthrin produced slight transient neurobehavioral effects in acute, subchronic and developmental neurotoxicity screening studies in rats. These effects occurred at the highest dose tested and without correlating morphological changes in the neural tissues.

Mutagenicity: Imidacloprid was not mutagenic or genotoxic based on the overall weight of evidence in a battery of in vitro and in vivo tests.; Beta-cyfluthrin was not mutagenic or genotoxic in a battery of in vitro and in vivo tests.

SECTION 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Environmental precautions: Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Drift and runoff from treated areas may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in adjacent sites. Do not contaminate surface or ground water by cleaning equipment or disposal of wastes, including equipment wash water. Do not apply this product or allow it to drift to blooming crops or weeds if bees are visiting the treatment area.
