per the recommendations of the manufacturer.

B. Application of chemical treatment shall be done with the shortest possible

interval between soil treatment and concrete slab pouring, in order to
preserve the quality of the treatment against deterioration from ultraviolet
radiation and heat.

C. Anyone who handles Dursban 4TC concentrate must wear a respirator (for
organic vapor, mist, dust and fumes), rubber gloves, fully protective clothing
including long sleeved shirt, and safety shoes during the dilution process.

D. Anyone who applies the diluted product to the soil must wear fully protective
clothing including a hat, a dust/mist mask or a respirator and rubber gloves.
Do not allow the chemical product to drift onto any person.
