Safety Information:

Use this product only as directed. The withholding period for all crops is one day between the last application and harvest. Handle with care, as it may cause slight eye irritation and is moderately toxic to fish and toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Do not apply directly to open water. GF 120 is relatively harmless to bees and beneficial insects such as parasites, predatory mites, coccinellidae, and neuroptera. Its ammoniac-type compound attracts fruit flies but repels bees, reducing the risk of bee exposure. However, avoid applying it directly to foraging bees or bee colonies. Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from food, feedstuffs, children, uninformed persons, and animals. Do not allow it to freeze, and store it only in its original labeled container. Wear gloves and a face shield while handling the product, avoid inhalation of spray mist, and prevent contact with the skin and eyes. If eye contact occurs, rinse with running water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention if irritation persists. Wash hands and face after use or accidental contact, and avoid eating, drinking, or smoking while handling or applying the product. Clean applicators before using them for other remedies, and dispose of rinse water in a way that prevents contamination of crops, ponds, and rivers. Empty containers should be rinsed and disposed of in a refuse bin. Prevent contamination of food, feedstuffs, drinking water, and eating utensils during handling, storage, or disposal.
