GENERAL USE DIRECTIONS
• Remove pets and birds. and cover and tum off fish aquariums bafore spraying.
• When using in an enclosed area, do not remain in treated area. Ventilate area after treatment is completed.
• When using this product as a space spray in food processing plants. food should be removed or covered during treatment. Do not apply as a space spray while food processing is underway. Food processing surfaces and equipment must be covered during treatment or cleaned with a suitable detergent and rinsed with potable water bafore reuse. Except in Federally inspected meat and poultry plants, food processing operations may continue when this product is applied as a surface or pin stream Crack and Crevice spray with care and in accordance with the directions and precautions given on this label. USED ALONE: This concentrate can also ba used as a clean-up or a pre-harvest spray where other materials cannot be used because of residue restrictions. Contains natural pyrethrins.
USED IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER INSECTICIDES: TC 245 may be combined with other insecticides and acaricides where resistance may be a problem and to provide a flushing of insects from hiding and into contact with other spray residues for quicker and more complete control. The application must conform to the accepted use precautions and directions for both products. Prior to tank-mixing, a compatibiltty test should be conducted using the proper proportions of chemicals and water to ensure the physical compatibility of the mixture. Tank mix applications must be made in accordance with the more restrictive of label limitations and precautions. No label application rates nay be exceeded. This product cannot be mixed with any product with label prohibitions against such mixing. Apply 2 to 16 ounces per acre and repeat if required to maintain effective control. Use in sufficient water for thorough coverage of upper and lower leaf surfaces unless otherwise noted. This product may be applied by air inno less than 2 gallons of water per acre and by ground in no less than 10 gallons of water per acre. It is recommended that the final spray mix ba buffered to a pH of 5.5-7.0.To avoid possible harm to honey bees. tt is advisable to apply in the early moming or late evening hours.

USE THROUGH IRRIGATION SYSTEMS (CHEMIGATION)
Apply this product only through sprinkler (including center pivot, lateral move, end tow, side (wheel) roll, traveler, big gun, solid set, or hand move) irrigation systems. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water. If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service speCialists, equipment
manufacturers or other experts. Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a public water system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place. A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for the operation or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise. The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low-pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional normally closed, solenoidoperated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from tha supply tank when the irrigation system is eiher automatically or manually shut down. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the pump motor stops. Tha irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure valve which will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the pOint where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
Systems must be a metering pump, such as a posive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. Constant agitation must be maintained in the chemical supply tank during the entire period of insecticide application. Greater accuracy in calibration and distribution will be achieved by injecting a larger volume of more dilute suspension per unit of time.
