CAUSES SKIN IRRITATION
Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling
and before eating or smoking. Wear protective clothing, impervious gloves and goggles when
handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. This product has been shown to
be a skin sensitizer in laboratory animal studies. Repeated exposure may cause allergic reaction
in sensitive individuals. If this should happen, discontinue use and consult a physician. Discard
contaminated leather articles, including shoes. Avoid breathing vapours and spray mist. Use with
adequate ventilation. Keep away from food, feedstuffs and water supplies.
FIRST AID:
If swallowed: Contains a petroleum distillate solvent. DO NOT induce vomiting. Call a
physician and/or transport to emergency facility immediately.
If in eyes: Irrigate with flowing water immediately and continuously for 15 minutes. Get
medical attention or contact a poison control centre.
If inhaled: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give oxygen. Call a physician or a poison
control centre.
If on skin: Immediately flush skin with plenty of flowing water for at least 15 minutes while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Call a physician or a poison control centre. Wash
clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes.

(Leatherjackets) after the flight of adult crane flies has ceased for
the year.
Sod Webworms 22.5 mL For sod webworms delay watering or mowing
the treated area for 12 to 24 hours after
treatment.
22.5 mL / 100 m2= 112.5 mL / 500 m2 = 225 mL / 1000 m2 or 2.25 L/ha
PEST CONTROL AROUND NON-RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS:
Apply Dursban Turf insecticide by application as a residual spray around the outside of buildings
as a perimeter soil treatment or localized areas on outside surfaces of industrial plants,
manufacturing plants, warehouses, meat packing plants, food processing plants.
Pest Amount of product Specific Directions
per 100m2
Ants 22.5 mL To help prevent infestation of buildings treat a
Crickets band of soil 2 to 3 m wide around and adjacent to
Earwigs the building foundation to a height of 50 cm to 1
Millipedes m or use as a spot treatment where pests are
Sowbugs active and may find entrance. Dilute in enough
(Pillbugs) water to obtain complete and uniform coverage
and apply as a coarse spray to thoroughly wet the
band area.
Pest Spray Dilution Specific Directions
Spiders 0.48% solution Close all windows. Apply Dursban by
Carpenter Ants (see spray dilution chart) handheld, backpack or hydraulic sprayer to
Wasps nesting sites and other localized areas where
Hornets pests congregate. In order to minimize drift,
Bees apply a coarse spray thoroughly wetting the
Box Elder Bugs surface but not allowing run-off to occur.
Cluster Flies This can best be achieved by utilizing low
gun pressures to generate large droplets.
Avoid repeat applications at intervals less
than 50 days.
NATIVE ELM BARK BEETLE
Restricted Use: To be used only under a provincial Dutch Elm Disease program. Consult
provincial regulatory officials for required authorization.
Prevention of Overwintering: To prevent the adult beetle from overwintering in uninfected
trees and to reduce beetle populations in disease free areas, apply Dursban Turf Insecticide as a
0.48% mixture of chlorpyrifos in water to the bottom 0.5 m of the trunk. Wet the trunk
thoroughly, but do not spray to run off. Care should be taken to apply the spray right to the
base of the root flare. Applications can be made with either backpack mist blower or a
hydraulic pressure sprayer from spring through to the early fall.
1. Make only one application per season.
2. Bystanders should be advised to keep away from treated areas until residues are dry.
3. Do not apply next to water bodies. Highly toxic to fish and other aquatic organisms
Prevention of Branch and Twig Feeding on High Value Elm Trees: To reduce the twig and
branch feeding on uninfected trees deemed to be high in value, apply a 0.48% chlorpyrifos
spray to the tree crown. Application should be made in the spring or early summer using a
sprayer that will give thorough coverage to the tree crown. Make only one application per
season.

NATURE OF RESTRICTION
This product is to be used only in the manner authorized. Contact local pesticide regulatory
authorities about use permits which may be required.
RESTRICTED USE - MOSQUITOES
MOSQUITOES:
Dursban Turf emulsifiable insecticide mixes readily with water or oil such as kerosene or No. 2
diesel fuel oil. Dursban Turf should be thoroughly mixed with the amount of water or oil
required to give uniform coverage and applied to non-crop areas with suitable equipment such as
hand or power sprayers, mist applicators. Use at rates given in the following table.
LARVAL CONTROL (MOSQUITOES):
Temporary Pools (e.g. shallow, grassy depression, flooded woodlands, industrial parks,
roadway ditches, railway marshalling yards, small temporary sloughs).
NOT TO BE USED IN PERMANENT WATER BODIES SUCH AS: LAKES, DUGOUTS OR
FISH PONDS.
GROUND: Apply uniformly to standing water. Spot applications may be made to catch basins,
culverts, and similar areas where mosquitoes may breed. Application should be made when
larvae are first noticed. Spray equipment must be properly calibrated to deliver the required
amount of insecticide. Application equipment giving medium to coarse spray droplets should be
used for mosquito larval control. The high rate (53 gai/ha) should be used only if algal content
or aquatic vegetation does not allow thorough penetration of spray solution or if multiple
generations or asynchronous hatching of mosquitoes is expected. Use the lower rate (13 gai/ha)
if aquatic vegetation is not dense and thorough penetration of spray solution is expected.
1. Do not repeat more often than once every two weeks.
2. This pesticide is very highly toxic to fish and other aquatic organisms such as aquatic insects
and crustaceans. Do not apply to permanent water bodies as these may contain fish and other
aquatic organisms.
3. Apply only in accordance with federal provincial and local laws and regulations governing
chemical treatment of bodies of water for control of mosquitoes.
4. Do not apply in areas where there may be potential exposure to bystanders.
5. This product should be applied at an appropriate distance from residences, hospitals, schools,
parks, playfields, and playgrounds. This distance should be established by
municipality/province.
Consult provincial pesticide regulatory officials for required authorization.
ADULT CONTROL (MOSQUITOES)
OUTDOOR AREA:
Restricted Use: GROUND: Mix with the proper amount of water or oil (kerosene, No. 2 diesel
oil) required to give uniform coverage and applied to non-crop areas with suitable equipment
such as hand or power sprayers of mist applicators. Apply to wet grassy or wooded areas when
adults first become a nuisance. Equipment giving fine sprays, mists or aerosol droplets will give
best results. Retreat as required. Use the higher rate where vegetation is too dense to permit
adequate penetration, the spray swath should be reduced to 50 m. Use 26-g/ha for light to
medium vegetative cover, 53 g/ha for medium to heavy vegetative cover.
ONLY TO BE USED AFTER CONSULTATION WITH
FEDERAL/PROVINCIAL/TERRITORIAL REGULATORY AUTHORITIES TO ADDRESS
PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERNS.
Consult provincial pesticide regulatory officials for required authorization.
SPECIFIC APPLICATION EQUIPMENT:
For mistblowers, calculate application rates as in this example. For mistblowers calibrated to
deliver 350 L per hour covering a spray swath of 100 m at a vehicle speed of 9 km per hour, use
5 to 10 L of Dursban Turf in 350 L of water. Use the higher rate where vegetation is dense.
Where vegetation is too dense to permit adequate penetration, the spray swath should be reduced
to 50 m. (See table following for rate of application.)

*The higher dosage of Dursban Turf should be used only where vegetative cover is dense or
where larval aquatic areas are high in organic matter. The use of this rate under conditions of
little or no vegetation cover or low water organic content is harmful to fish or crustaceans and
should be used where kill of these species can be tolerated.
RESTRICTED USE - FORESTRY - Western Canada only
Mountain pine beetle
For ground use only to control small infestations of mountain pine beetle in lodgepole pine forest
stands. Monitor stand in the period mid-June to mid-July to determine the trees which are
infested. Apply treatment to infested trees within a few weeks of the expected beetle emergence,
usually early July, in order to kill the adult beetles. Avoid spraying when conditions favour drift
from spray area.
Use 1 L of Dursban Turf in 24 L of water (42 L in 1000 L of water) to make a spray containing
2% active ingredient by weight. Apply at a rate of 1 L spray/m2 bark prior to adult beetle
emergence. Treat boles from ground level up to a height of at least 3 metres or until a bole
diameter of 12.5 cm is reached.
