+Dear Eliot Harrison:
+The Agency, in accordance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), 
+as amended, has completed reviewing all the information submitted with your application of 
+the above referenced product in connection with the NMFS’ Biological Opinion (BiOp) on the 
+effects of carbaryl on federally listed endangered and threatened species and designated 
+critical habitat in accordance with section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as 
+amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The Agency has concluded that your submission is 
+acceptable. The label referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under FIFRA, 
+as amended, is acceptable.
+Should you wish to add/retain a reference to the company’s website on your label, then please 
+be aware that the website becomes labeling under the FIFRA and is subject to review by the 
+Agency. If the website is false or misleading, the product would be misbranded and unlawful to 
+sell or distribute under FIFRA section 12(a)(1)(E). 40 CFR 156.10(a)(5) list examples of 
+statements EPA may consider false or misleading. In addition, regardless of whether a website 
+is referenced on your product’s label, claims made on the website may not substantially differ 
+from those claims approved through the registration process. Therefore, should the Agency find 
+or if it is brought to our attention that a website contains false or misleading statements or

+to the EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance. 
+A stamped copy of your labeling is enclosed for your records. This labeling supersedes 
+all previously accepted labeling. You must submit one copy of the final printed labeling 
+before you release the product for shipment with the new labeling. In accordance with 
+40 CFR 152.130(c), you may distribute or sell this product under the previously 
+approved labeling for 12 months from the date of this letter. After 12 months, you may 
+only distribute or sell this product if it bears this new revised labeling or subsequently 
+approved labeling. “To distribute or sell” is defined under FIFRA section 2(gg) and its 
+implementing regulation at 40 CFR 152.3. 
+The Agency received the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (FWS) BiOp on the effects of 
+EPA’s national registration of carbaryl and posted it on the website on April 9, 2025. The 
+Agency plans to incorporate and implement this FWS BiOp when issuing the interim 
+decision for carbaryl. EPA will notify the registrants of any need to submit label

+ENGINEERING CONTROLS 
+Pilots applying applications under the auspices of the Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Rangeland Grasshopper and Mormon 
+Cricket Suppression Program or related state programs must use an enclosed cockpit in a manner that is consistent with the WPS for Agricultural 
+Pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(6)]. In addition, the cockpit air intake must be located above the bait release point and the bai t bin must be 
+completely separate from the cockpit. 
+Flaggers supporting aerial applications permitted above must use an enclosed cab that meets the definition in the WPS for Agric ultural 
+Pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(5)] for dermal protection. In addition, flaggers must: 
+• wear long-sleeved shirt, long pants, shoes and socks, 
+• either wear a NIOSH-approved dust/mist filtering respirator with NIOSH/MSHA approval number prefix TC-21 or a NIOSH-approved respirator 
+with any N, R, P or HE filter or use an enclosed cab that is declared in writing by the manufacturer or by a government agency to provide at 
+least as much respiratory protection as this type of respirator, 
+• be provided and have immediately available for use in an emergency when they must exit the cab in the treated area : chemical-resistant 
+gloves and chemical-resistant headgear and, if using an enclosed cab that provides respiratory protection, a respirator of the type specified 
+above, 
+• take off any PPE that was worn in the treated area before reentering the cab and 
+• store all such PPE in a chemical-resistant container, such as a plastic bag, to prevent contamination of the inside of the ca b. 
+When applicators use enclosed cabs in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the WPS for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d) 
+(5)], the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS. 
+ 
+USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS 
+Users should: 1) Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. 2) Remove clothing/PPE immediately 
+if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. 3) Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the 
+outside of the gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing. 
+ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS 
+This product is extremely toxic to aquatic invertebrates. For terrestrial uses, do not apply directly to water or to areas wher e surface water is 
+present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate. 
+Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from the area treated. Drift and runoff may kill aquatic invertebrates in water adjacent to treated 
+areas. 
+To protect the environment, do not allow pesticide to enter or run off into storm drains, drainage ditches, gutters or surface waters. Applying this 
+product in calm weather when rain is not predicted for the next 48 hours will help to ensure that wind or rain does not blow or wash pesticide off 
+the treatment area. Sweeping any product that lands on a driveway, sidewalk, or street, back onto the treated area of the lawn or garden will 
+help to prevent run off to water bodies or drainage systems. 
+ 
+Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. 
+

+USE INFORMATION 
+CARBARYL 5% BAIT is used for the control of Cutworms, Armyworms, Darkling beetles, Field crickets, Grasshoppers, House crickets , Mole 
+crickets, Sowbugs and Ants (except Carpenter ants, Fire ants, Harvester ants and Pharaoh ants). 
+RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 
+CARBARYL GROUP 1A INSECTICIDE 
+This product contains a Group 1A insecticide. Insect biotypes with acquired resistance to Group 1A may eventually dominate the insectpopulation 
+if Group 1A insecticides are used repeatedly in the same field or in successive years as the primary method of control for targ eted species. This 
+may result in partial or total loss of control of those species by this product or other Group 1A insecticides. To delay insect icide resistance, 
+consider: 
+• Avoiding the consecutive use of this product or other Group 1A insecticides that have similar target site of action on the same insect species. 
+• Using tank-mixtures or pre-mixes with insecticides from a different target site action Group as long as the involved products are all registered 
+for the same use and have different sites of action. 
+• Basing insecticide use on a comprehensive IPM program. 
+• Monitoring treated insect populations for loss of field efficacy. 
+• Contacting your local extension specialist, certified crop advisors and/or manufacturer for insecticide resistance management and/or IPM 
+recommendations for specific site and resistant pest problems. 
+ 
+IMPORTANT PRE-HARVEST AND GRAZING INFORMATION 
+Tolerances established under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act permit the sale of crops bearing probable Carbaryl residue s when 
+Carbaryl is used in accordance with the label directions. 
+If Carbaryl is used in accordance with label directions, Carrot tops, Corn forage and Sugar beet tops may be grazed or harvested for use as feed 
+for Dairy and Meat animals without resulting in illegal residues in Milk or Meat.

+Rangeland USDA APHIS REDUCED AREA AND AGENT TREATMENTS (RAATS): 
+The RAATs approach takes advantage of grasshopper movement to allow Drexel 
+Carbaryl 5% Bait to be applied at reduced rates on a reduced treated area while 
+maintaining acceptable protection against grasshopper. Under this program, Drexel 
+Carbaryl 5% Bait may be applied to as little as 50% of the infested area (treating a 100 
+ft swath, skipping a 100 ft swath), up to 100% of infested area. The amount of area 
+treated will depend on grasshopper age, density and plant canopy. By leaving 
+untreated swaths, the RAATs program provides reserves for natural biological control 
+agents. This strategy fully utilizes an Integrated Pest Management approach for 
+grasshopper. Apply 20 pounds per acre by ground application. Do not apply more than 
+once per year. For Aerial application, apply 4 pounds per acre per application. 
+Maximum yearly usage is 8 pounds per acre on 50 – 100% of infested area for 
+grasshopper nymphs between the 2nd and 5th instar. Minimum retreatment interval is 
+14 days. Do not apply more than 2 times per year. The rate to use per acre will depend 
+on grasshopper age, population density, and plant canopy. Use the higher rates on 
+more mature grasshoppers, severe infestations and dense vegetation. Use the lower 
+rates on younger grasshoppers, light to moderate infestations and sparse vegetation. 
+Consult with the local grasshopper control experts in your area for the proper rate and 
+swath width to use under your conditions. Use of flaky cereal grain bait for aerial 
+application is prohibited.
