DeltaPro 25 Professional Insecticide

Tips For Use

Restraints: 

• Do not apply spray treatment outdoors if rain is imminent.

Mixing:

• Before pouring, shake the container vigorously, then add the required quantity of DeltaPro 25 to the water while stirring.
• Do not store diluted insecticide. 
• Prepare a fresh solution as necessary. 
• Do not spray the moving parts of any machinery, electric motors or switchgear with the water-based product.

Note on application to carpets:

• Excessive liquid application may produce water stains when carpets are regarded as porous surfaces. 
• The non-porous surface rate should be used. 
  • For short pile carpet, the maximum 5 L dilution rate (per 100 m2) should be sufficient.
  • For a long pile or shag carpet, a maximum of 10L dilution (per 100 m2) may be required to ensure effective penetration and application to the entire carpet pile. 
• Since carpets vary in thickness, colour and material, it is highly recommended that a small, inconspicuous area of carpet be sprayed and allowed to dry first to ensure the application volumes are appropriate and that staining will not occur.

Note on application to ornamental plants:

• DeltaPro 25 has been used on various ornamental plant species without damage. 
• Some species and varieties are particularly sensitive to chemical sprays. 
• As sensitivity is often related to local conditions, it is advisable to treat only a small number of plants first to ascertain their reaction before treating larger numbers.

Use As A Residual Surface Treatment For Control Of Stored Product Pests:

• The following measures should be observed:
  • Ensure food items in the store are not exposed to spray – if necessary, remove food items from the area to be treated. 
  • Allow all treated surfaces to dry before replacing food items – where possible, avoid spraying actual surfaces with which food is likely to contact directly.
  • Do not allow spray to contact food packaging material.
  • Discard any foodstuff accidentally contaminated with the spray solution.

General Precautions:

• For surface treatment only – do not spray into the atmosphere using foggers or other devices designed to create an aerosol.
• Allow treated carpets to dry before resuming activity on them.
• Avoid contact of spray with timber to which a stain or other finish is 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.
• Avoid contact with food, utensils or surfaces on which food is prepared.
• Before use;
  • Remove or cover all exposed foodstuffs. 
  • Cover all dishes and utensils and surfaces where food is prepared.
• After use;
  • Thoroughly ventilate the treated area. 
  • Clean up thoroughly before processing/serving resumes.

Protection Of Wildlife, Fish, Crustaceans And Environment:

• Dangerous to fish. 
• Cover fish tanks before using. 
• Do not contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used container.

Precaution – Rehandling

• Allow the spray to dry thoroughly before handling materials (e.g. cut flowers and sawn logs) that have been treated with the product. 
• If prior handling is necessary, wear chemically resistant gloves. 
• Gloves must be washed after each day’s use.

Precaution – Re-Entry:

• Do not enter treated areas until the spray has dried.

Storage:

• Store in the original container in a cool, well-ventilated area. 
• Do not store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight.

Safety Directions:

• Harmful if swallowed. 
• It may cause skin sensitisation by skin contact. 
• Facial skin contact may cause temporary facial numbness. 
• It will irritate the eyes and skin. 
• Avoid contact with eyes and skin. 
• When opening the container, preparing spray and using the prepared spray, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist, a washable hat, elbow length chemical resistant gloves and a face shield. If the product is on the skin, immediately wash the area with soap and water. 
• After use and before eating, drinking or smoking, wash hands, arms, and face thoroughly with soap and water. 
• After each day’s use, wash gloves, face shield and contaminated clothing.
