DANGERS & PRECAUTIONS

Contents under pressure. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Do not puncture or incinerate container, even after use. Exposure to temperatures above 130°F may cause bursting. Protect from sunlight. Store in a well-ventilated place. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.

Do not allow adults, children or pets to enter the treated area until sprays have dried, and the vapors, mists, and aerosols have dispersed, and ensure the treated area has been thoroughly ventilated. Do not apply this product in a way that will contact adults, children, or pets, either directly or through drift. Be sure to remove pets, birds, and cover fish aquariums and ornamental fish ponds before spraying, and turn aquarium systems off. In the home, cover all food processing surfaces and utensils during treatment or thoroughly wash utensils before use. Cover exposed food and remove utensils in serving areas, and do not apply when food is present. Do not water the treated area to the point of run-off, and do not make applications during rain.
