ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

This product is toxic to fish. To protect the environment, do not allow pesticide to enter or run off into storm drains, drainage ditches, gutters or surface waters. Applying this product in calm weather when rain is not predicted for the next 24 hours will help ensure that wind or rain does not blow or wash pesticide off the treatment area. Rinsing application equipment over the treated area will help avoid runoff to water bodies or drainage systems.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.

USE RESTRICTIONS

• Do not enter or allow others to enter treated areas until
  sprays have dried.

• Do not exceed the maximum application rates specified
  on this label or apply this product more often than this label specifies.

• Do not spray wet plants.

• Do not apply this product when the temperature is above 90°F or below 40°F.

• Do not apply this product during periods of prolonged high temperature combined with high humidity. Horticultural oils interfere with or slow plant transpiration and respiration during the period of evaporation.

• Do not spray plants that are under stress from drought or disease.

• Do not apply this product to oil-sensitive plant varieties.

• Do not mix this product with sulfur or sulfur-containing products.

• On Grapes, do not apply sulfur within 10 days before or after use of this product. On other crops, do not apply sulfur within 14 days before or after use of this product.

USE PRECAUTIONS

Keep the oil container tightly closed in storage to prevent entry of water. All horticultural oils interfere with or slow plant transpiration and respiration during the period of evaporation. Therefore, do not spray plants under stress (i.e., drought, disease) and do not apply during periods of prolonged high temperature combined with high relative humidity.

• Certain plant species may be sensitive to oil. Test-spray 1 to 3 plants and observe their responses to treatment for several days before general spraying.
• Use caution when spraying open blooms. Bleaching and spotting of open blooms have been observed.
• The effectiveness of this product may be reduced if prolonged temperatures below 50° F are experienced due to the reduced respiration rate of insects at such temperatures.
• Protect painted surfaces, carpets, and furnishings from overspray. This product may cause discoloration.

MIXING DIRECTIONS

Make sure the spray equipment to be used is clean, dry and odor free.

1. Fill the spray tank or bottle ½ full with water.

4. Fill the remaining ½ of the spray tank or bottle with water and shake again. The solution should look milky. If it does not, do not use it.

5. . During application shake the solution frequently. Do not apply to plants if the solution has been sitting for more than 10 minutes without shaking it before resuming application.

6. Do not premix Safer® Brand Horticultural & Dormant Spray Oil and water. Mix just enough for immediate use.

7. 2 tablespoons = 1 fluid ounce.
   4 tablespoons = ¼ cup = 2 fluid ounces.
