[Note: For products with both occupational and consumer homeowner uses, the more restrictive language from these labeling tables mEntry Restrictions for products except those products that contain any directions for uses when people are permitted to be present in the treated area (e.g. . applications to pets) 

Entry Restriction for products applied as a spray except for sprays applied directly to 

domestic animals: “Do not allow adults, children, or pets to enter the treated area until sprays have dried.” Entry Restriction for products applied dry: “Do not allow adults, children, or pets to enter the treated area until dusts have settled.” Entry Restriction for products applied as a space spray or as a fog: “Do not allow adults, children, or pets to enter until vapors, mists, and aerosols have dispersed, and 

the treated area has been thoroughly ventilated.” Total release foggers labeled for indoor use must contain the following entry restriction: 

“Wait two (2) hours after application, then open windows, vents and doors for two hours. In an odor is still detected additional ventilation is required.” Note to Registrant: If there is information that justified a change in the duration after application (2 

hours), submit the information to the Agency.

Environmental hazard statements on Liquid Concentrate consumer outdoor products (e.g., liquids mixed with water by the user for a tank sprayer or hose-end attachment) 

“This pesticide is toxic to aquatic organisms, including fish and invertebrates. 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 to 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 run off to water bodies or 

drainage systems.  “This product is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment on blooming crops or weeds. Do not apply this product or allow it to drift to blooming crops or weeds while bees are actively visiting the treatment area.” 

Environmental hazard statements on Dusts consumer outdoor products (e.g., for garden or ornamental)
