   * POTW.

   * Before treatment, fruit in bins must be protected on top with plastic liners, cardboard sheets or Kraft sheets. Fruit directly in front of the fogging equipment should also be protected with liners or sheets from top to bottom. In rooms that are less than 75% filled, calculate the dosage of ecoFOG-180 by adding a tonnage value of 20% of the empty Volume to the real tonnage of the fruit.

   * Do not breathe the fog.  Turn off room cooling systems and humidifiers 12 hours prior to and during treatment. Turn off room circulation fans immediately prior to and during treatment. Allow the fog to stay overnight or until the fog has totally disappeared (about 5 hours post-treatment) before restarting fans and cooling systems
