Solfac Duo Residual Insecticide

Tips For Use

Application:

• Mix Solfac Duo and water together in a suitable backpack or garden sprayer and apply in an even band to the point of run-off along walls and surfaces where pests live, rest and travel.
• After use, thoroughly ventilate treated areas.
• Do not apply spray treatment outdoors if heavy rains are expected to occur within 48 hours of application or if the area is about to be irrigated.
• Do not spray the moving parts of any machinery, electric motors or switchgear with the water-based product.
• When using in animal houses, do not spray directly onto livestock, their food, water, litter, feed bins, or surfaces that are accessible to the stock.

Restraint:

• Do not apply spray treatment outdoors if heavy rains are expected to occur within 48 hours of application or if areas are about to be irrigated.

Precautions:

• Do not apply using spraying equipment carried on the back of the user.
• For surface treatments only. 
• Do not spray into the atmosphere using foggers or other devices designed to create an aerosol.
• When using in animal houses, do not spray directly onto livestock, their food, water, litter, feed bins, or surfaces that are accessible to the stock.
• Do not spray directly on humans, exposed food or food utensils or food preparation areas.
• Do not spray clothing.
• Avoid contact of spray with timber to which a stain is subsequently to be applied unless the owner is notified that the timber will need additional preparation, consistent with that if water alone had contacted the timber.  (Evidence of water contact on timber is sometimes only evident once the stain has been applied).
• Before use, remove or cover all exposed foodstuffs. 
• Cover all dishes and utensils and surfaces where food is prepared.
• After use, thoroughly ventilate treated areas. 
• Clean up thoroughly before processing/serving resumes.

Note on application to carpets.

• Whilst carpets are regarded as porous surfaces, excessive liquid application may produce water stains, and therefore, the non-porous surface rate should be adopted if possible. 
• Hence, the 5L dilution rate (per 100m²) should be sufficient for short-pile carpet.
• However, for long-pile or shag carpets, the 10L dilution rate (per 100m²) may be required to ensure effective penetration and application to all of the carpet pile. 
• Since carpets vary in their thickness, colour and material, it is recommended that small, inconspicuous areas of carpet be sprayed and allowed to dry first to ensure that staining will not occur.
• Allow treated carpets to dry before resuming activity on them.

Re-Entry Period:

• Do not enter treated areas until the spray has died unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical-resistant gloves. 
• Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.

Storage:

• Store in a tightly closed, original container in a safe, well-ventilated area, as cool as possible. 
• Do not store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight.

Safety Directions:

• Harmful if swallowed.
• It may irritate the skin and eyes. 
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
• When preparing the product for use and using the prepared spray, wear cotton overalls over normal clothing buttoned to the neck, wrist, and elbow-length chemical-resistant gloves.
• Wash hands after use.
• After each day’s use, wash gloves and contaminated clothing.

First Aid:

• If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre. Phone Australia 131 126. 
• If skin contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and wash the skin thoroughly.
• Additional information is listed in the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
