** PRECAUTIONS TO REDUCE EXPOSURE **

- Pay attention to notices about spraying found through newspapers, websites, automated telephone messages or notices distributed by municipal, county or state agencies.

- Plan your activities to limit time spent outside during times of possible insecticide treatments.

- Move your pets, their food, and water dishes inside during ULV application. Also bring clothing and children’s toys inside.

- Stay away from application equipment, whether in use or not.

- Whenever possible, remain indoors with windows closed and with window air conditioners on non-vent (closed to the outside air) and window fans turned off during spraying.

- Avoid direct contact with surfaces that are still wet from pesticide spraying.

- Do not allow children to play in areas that have been sprayed until they have completely dried (approximately one hour).

- If you must remain outdoors, avoid eye and skin contact with the spray.

- If you get spray in your eyes or on your skin, immediately flush and rinse with water.

Thank you for your anticipated cooperation!
