breathing apparatus. Wear full protective equipment. Runoff from
fire control may be a pollution hazard.
M0000496 DuPont Page 3
Material Safety Data Sheet
(FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES - Continued)
If area is exposed to fire and conditions permit, let fire burn
itself out. Burning chemicals may produce by-products more toxic
than the original material. If product is on fire, wear
self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective equipment.
Use water spray. Control runoff.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT during clean-up.
Evacuate personnel, thoroughly ventilate area, use self-contained
breathing apparatus.
Emergency Response - Chemical resistant coveralls, waterproof
gloves, waterproof boots and face/eye protection. If dusting
occurs, use NIOSH approved respirator protection.
Initial Containment
Follow applicable Federal, State/Provincial and Local laws/
regulations. Prevent material from entering sewers, waterways, or
low areas.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Animal Data
DuPont Advion Fire Ant Bait
Oral LD50: > 5000 mg/kg in rats
Dermal LD50: > 5000 mg/kg in rabbits
DuPont Advion Fire Ant Bait is not a skin or eye irritant, and is
not a skin sensitizer in animal tests.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ecotoxicological Information
DuPont Advion Fire Ant Bait contains 0.045% active
ingredient (calculated as the active isomer DPX-KN128) and
is labeled for a maximum single application rate of 1.5 lbs
of Advion fire ant bait per acre (equivalent to 0.0007 lbs
active ingredient per acre). Based on the Advion Fire Ant
Bait application rate, and the laboratory test results
conducted with a higher concentration technical material,
the ecological toxicity risk potential is extremely low for
aquatic and avian species when the product is applied
according to label directions to control red imported fire
ants.
Note that the following results are based on tests conducted
under laboratory conditions using DPX-MP062 Technical as the
test substance. The DPX-MP062 Technical used in the tests
contained 94.5% active ingredient in the form of the
insecticidally active isomer DPX-KN128 and inactive isomer
IN-KN127 in an approximately 75:25 ratio.
(94.5% DPX-MP062)
AQUATIC TOXICITY:
96 hour LC50 - Bluegill sunfish: 0.90 mg/L.
96 hour LC50 - Rainbow trout : 0.65 mg/L.
48 hour EC50 - Daphnia magna : 0.60 mg/L.
Based on the above results for fish and invertebrates, risk
quotients (RQs) were < 0.002 and no levels of concern (LOCs)
were exceeded.
AVIAN TOXICITY:
Acute Oral LD50 - Bobwhite Quail : 98 mg/kg.
Acute Dietary LC50 - Bobwhite Quail: 808 ppm
M0000496 DuPont Page 6
Material Safety Data Sheet
(ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION - Continued)
Acute Dietary LC50 - Mallard Duck : >5620 ppm
Based on the above results for birds, acute RQs were < 0.03
and chronic RQs were < 0.1, and no LOCs were exceeded.

DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Waste Disposal
Do not contaminate water, food, or feed by storage or
disposal. Wastes resulting from the use of this product
must be disposed of on site or at an approved waste
disposal facility.
Do not apply where/when conditions could favor runoff.
Cover, incorporate, or clean up granules that are spilled.
Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water
is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water
mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment
rinsewater.
Container Disposal
For Plastic Containers: Triple rinse (or equivalent).
Then offer for recycling or reconditioning, or puncture
and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or incineration,
or, if allowed by State and local authorities, by burning.
If burned, stay out of smoke.

shaking and tapping sides and bottom to loosen clinging
particles. Empty residue into application equipment.
Then dispose of liner in a sanitary landfill or by
incineration if allowed by State and local authorities.
If drum is contaminated and cannot be reused, dispose of in
the same manner.
