Swallowed
Contact a physician or Poison Control Center immediately. Do not induce vomiting unless directed by a physician
Vomiting may cause aspiration pneumonia. This product contains petroleum distillate. Aspiration may be a
hazard. Drink promptly a large quantity of skimmed milk, egg white, gelatin solution or if these are not
available, large quantities of water. Do not give anything be mouth to an unconscious person. Avoid alcohol.
Note to Physician
This product contains a pyrethroid and a petroleum solvent. If ingested and vomiting has not occurred, emesis
should be induced with supervision. If symptoms such as loss of gag reflex, convulsions or unconsciousness
occur before emesis, gastric lavage using a cuffed endotracheal tube should be considered.
Do not administer milk, cream or other substances containing vegetable or animal fats. These only enhance
absorption of lipophilic substances.
5. Fire Fighting Measures

Lower Explosive Limit: NE Upper Explosive Limit: NE
Fire and Explosion Hazards
Do not use or store near heat or open flame.
Extinguishing Media
In case of fire, use water spray, CO2, Dry Chemical, or Foam
Fire Fighting Instructions
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand. MSHA/NIOSH approved (or equivalent)
and full protective gear. Keep upwind. Isolate hazard area. Avoid inhalation of smoke and fumes. Use water or
foam to reduce flames. Do not touch spilled material. If possible, move containers from area. Extinguish only
if flow can be stopped. Use flooding amounts of water as a fog. Cool containers with flooding amounts of
water from as far a distance possible. Avoid breathing vapors.
FLAMMABILITY CLASSIFICATION/RATING
II
NFPA/OSHA Class:
NFPA RATING (Fire) 2
6. Accidental Release Measures
General and Disposal:
Use proper protective equipment to minimize personal exposure. Take all necessary action to prevent and
to remedy the adverse effect of the spill. Ensure that the disposal is in compliance with all
Federal, State/Provincial, and local regulations. Refer to Section 15 for applicable Reportable Quantity
and other regulatory requirements.
Land Spill or Leaks
Small Spills: Absorb with an inert absorbent material such as granular clay, saw dust or pet litter.
Sweep up carefully while avoiding the formation of a dust cloud. Place in an approved chemical waster
container for disposal. Rinse spill area with small amount of soapy water. Contain and absorb the
rinsate with inert absorbents and place into the same disposal container. Area can be washed with water
to remove the last trace residue. Do not allow water to contaminate water supplies or sewers.
Large Spills: Eliminate all ignition sources. Stop leak if you can do so without coming into contact with
spilled material. Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. All equipment used to clean up spill
should be grounded. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined area. Inform
appropriate authorities immediately if contamination occurs.
