11. Toxicological Information
Toxicological Information
ORAL: LD50 (rat): >34,000 mg/kg (HDT) (Based on S -Methoprene)
DERMAL: LD50 (rabbit): >2,100 mg/kg (HDT)
4HR. Inhalation:
LC50 (rat) >5.19 mg/L air (Based on (S)-Methoprene) LC50 (rat) > 5 mg/l (Based on Pyrethrins)
TARGET ANIMAL SAFETY: No adverse effects have been observed in groups of dogs and cats, when applied
at 7 day intervals, at levels up to 5 times the recommended rate.
CHRONIC TOXICITY : [(RS)-Methoprene Technical] Methoprene is not considered as an oncogenic
compound. The NOEL for non-carcinogenic effects in an 18 month mouse study was 250 ppm. [PYRETHRINS]
In a 2-year feeding study, rats were fed pyrethrum at dietary levels of 10, 50 and 250 mg/kg/day. The highest
level had no significant effect on growth or survival. Slight though definite liver damage was observed, especially
at higher dosage levels. In a 90-day feeding study, dogs that were fed pyrethrins at a dietary level of 5,000 ppm
showed tremors, ataxia, labored respiration and salivation during the first month of exposure. [PIPERONYL
BUTOXIDE] In rats at a dietary level of 10,000 ppm of Piperonyl Butoxide, (dosage of 650 mg/kg/day), there
was a moderate reduction of weight gain, increased relative weight of the kidneys and increased relative weight of
the liver. A 2-year bioassay of technical rats, lymphomas occurred at incidences that were dose related. In the
male mice, adenomas of the lacrimal gland occurred at incidences that were dose related but were not
significantly higher than hat in the control group. Thus, the occurrence of this tumor in the male mice was not
clearly related to the administration of Piperonyl Butoxide.
MUTAGENICITY : [(RS)-Methoprene Technical] Methoprene is not a mutagenic compound. [PYRETHRINS]
was not found to be genotoxic and did not damage DNA in any study conducted. [PIPERONYL BUTOXIDE]
Piperonyl Butoxide is not considered to be a mutagen.

13. Disposal Considerations
Waste Disposal Method
Do not contaminate water or food by disposal. Do not reuse empty container. Wrap and put in trash. Unused
product, as a waste material, may be classified as a hazardous waste due to ignitability. Recommended disposal is
by an EPA approved hazardous waste management facility.
