MaxumPro 125 SC Insecticide

Tips For Use

Restraints:

• Do not apply spray treatment outdoors if rain is imminent or if the area is about to be irrigated (unless indicated in the Directions for Use).
• Use in food processing areas is limited to only crack, crevice and barrier strip treatments.

Mixing:

• Before pouring, shake the container vigorously, or for large containers, stir the container rapidly, then add the required quantity of MaxumPro 125 SC Insecticide to water while stirring.

Application:

• Do not spray the moving parts of machinery, electric motors, or switch gear with this water-based product.

Note on application to carpets:

• Whilst carpets are regarded as porous surfaces, the excessive liquid application may produce water stains and therefore, the non-porous surface rate should be adopted.
• Hence, the 5 L dilution rate (per 100 m²) should be sufficient for short pile carpet.
• However, for a long pile or shag carpet, the 10 L dilution rate (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 recommended that a small, inconspicuous area 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.

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 the 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 have direct contact.
• Do not allow spray to contact food packaging material.
• Discard any foodstuff accidentally contaminated with the spray solution.

Precautions:

• For surface treatment only – do not spray into the atmosphere using foggers or other devices designed to create an aerosol.
• Use in food processing areas is limited to only crack, crevice and barrier strip treatments.
• When applying in animal houses, do not spray directly onto livestock, their food, water, litter, feed bins or surfaces accessible to the stock.
• Do not spray directly on humans, exposed food, food utensils or food preparation areas.
• Avoid contact of spray with timber to which a stain is subsequently 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 seen 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 or serving resumes.

Re-Entry Period:

• Do not enter treated areas until the spray has dried.
• To be used by licensed pest control managers only.
