PRODUCT INFORMATION 
STORED GRAIN: For protection of the listed stored food, feed and oil grain commodities against injury from insect pests 
including, but not limited to, lesser grain borer, Indianmeal moth, and angoumois grain moth, rice moth, almond moth, 
confused flour beetle, and flat grain beetle. Additional pests such as rice weevil, granary weevil, maize weevil, red flour 
beetle, sawtoothed grain beetle, and rusty grain beetle are suppressed to low levels. Protection is achieved by breaking 
the pest life cycle through control of adults and/or immature life stages. 
For optimum results, thoroughly clean and treat grain storage areas prior to storage of grain. If grain is insect infested, 
fumigate with a registered insecticide to control existing populations and apply SECURETM Dry Insecticide for residual 
protection. 
STORED SEED USED FOR PLANTING: This use is restricted to those crops listed on this label, but includes all non-crop 
seeds including, but not limited to, flower seed, ornamental seed, and grass seed. 
SECURETM Dry Insecticide may also be used in conjunction with registered fungicides or other insecticide seed 
protectants. Seed treated with other seed protectant products may be required to be colored and tagged. Requirements 
for coloring and tagging can be found on the product labels. Seed treated with SECURETM Dry Insecticide alone is 
considered grain.

Specific Use Directions: SECURETM Dry Insecticide when grain is in the truck or wagon prior to binning. To determine 
the amount in the truck or wagon, multiply the length by width by depth (all in feet) and multiply this total by 0.8 to get the 
number of bushels. Measure out the correct amount of SECURETM Dry Insecticide and spread evenly over the surface of 
the grain in the truck or wagon. Cut into the grain with a shovel. SECURE Dry will become mixed with grain as it is 
dumped from the truck or wagon into the hopper. Further mixing will occur when the grain is augered or blown into the bin. 
Mixing is completed as the SECURE Dry and grain roll down the cone shaped pile in the bin. 
Application per Ton of Grain or Seed: For crops typically treated per ton (2,000 Ibs.), i.e., bird seed or any crop listed in 
the table above, apply 0.4 Ibs. per ton to deliver 1 ppm of active ingredient. 
RECOMMENDATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS: 
• International tolerances and residue limits for crops and commodities treated with this product may not yet be 
established in one or more countries outside the United States. For this reason, this product should be used only on 
crops and commodities intended for consumption in the United States or on crops and commodities that will be 
imported to a country(ies) where you have confirmed the specific import residue policies and applicable residue limits 
permit such imports. 
• Avoid application at extremely dusty sites. 
• When drying grain, apply SECURE Dry Insecticide after grain has cooled. 
• Do not use a top dressing treatment with a grain mass treatment. 
• Do not treat grain more than once. 
• Maintain accurate records, especially if commodity is destined for export. 
• Calibrate application equipment and grain flow rates daily and when significant changes occur to ensure proper 
application rates. 
• Always start with clean storage bins that have been treated with a protectant with a different mode of action. 
• For resistance management purposes, rotate modes of action yearly. 
• No withholding period is required for grain used for food, feed, oil or seed purposes.
