,-'here surface water iG p;t'esent, or to intertidal areas below the 
mean high water mark. Do not apply where runoff is likely to 
occur. Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from 
areas treated. Do not contaminate water by cleaning of equipment 
or disposal of wastes. Apply this product only as specified on 
this label. 
BEE CAUTl:ON. MAY KILL BOIlEYBEES IN SUBSTANTIAL NUMBERS 
This product is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment 
or residues on crops. Protective information may be obtained from

important than insect control. Before applying warn beekeepers to 
locate hives beyond bee flight range until 1 week after 
application or to take other equally effective precautions.

GENERAL INFORMATION: 
Carbaryl 4 oil Insecticide is a dispersion of finely ground 
technical carbaryl in a non-aromatic, low volatile oil. It is 
designed for air application as a low volume or ultra low volume 
spray. It may also be applied by ground mist blower or cold 
fogging, if diluted with diesel fuel, kerosene OT '2 fuel oil. 
READ 'l'Bl:S LABEL BEFORE USE. USE IN STRICT ACCORDANCE NUB 
DIRECTIONS AND CAUTIONS. 
PRBIIARVEST AND GRAZING USE INFORMATION AND LDnTATIONS 
Tolerances established under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic 
Act, permit the sale of crops bearing probable carbaryl residues 
when this product is used in accordance with label directions. 
If used as directed, treated forage may be grazed or used as feed 
for dairy and meat animals without causing illegal residues in 
meat or milk. This product may be applied up to and including the 
day of harvest or grazing of forage crops. 
MIXING AND APPLICATION 
1. Carbaryl 4 oil thickens during storage. Roll or agitate drums 
or recirculate product in bulk tanks before use to reduce 
viscosity and restore homogeneity. Carbaryl 4 Oil may be held 
prior to use and transferred in any materials of construction 
suitable for use with fuel oil, kerosene or diesel oil. 
Protect from water. 
2. Before and after use, flush nurse tanks, pumps, lines, hoses 
and entire systems with diesel fuel, kerosene or '2 fuel oil 
until clean. Water, scale, rust and other residue must be 
removed from pumps, mixing and spray systems before use. 
3. Carbaryl 4 Oil is not compatible with and should not be mixed 
with water, alcohol or aromatic solvents, but can be diluted 
with aliphatic oil (diesel fuel, kerosene, or '2 fuel oil). 
Compatibility with other pesticides has not been thoroughly 
tested. DO NOT USE IN TANK MIX COMBINATIONS UNLESS YOUR 
EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT THE MIXTURE IS EFFECTIVE AND WILL 
NOT RESULT IN PLANT INJURY OR MECHANICAL DIFFICULTY. 
4. For best mixing when preparing diluted Carbaryl 4 Oil, add 
diluent oil to mix tank before adding proper volume of 
Carbaryl 4 Oil. Provide periodic circulation to maintain 
uniform suspension if diluted. 
5. Calibrate eql1ipment to deliver the desired spray volume. Fla~ 
fan nozzles Ly be used to apply both undiluted and diluted 
Carharyl 4 Oi~, Rotary atomizing and hollow cone nozzle are 
not recommended for applying undiluted Carbaryl 4 Oil but can 
be used if 1. to 1 d_il1.ltion is made. Use of a high-volume 50-
mesh in-line strai:ler is suggested, Use of screens behind 
nozzles is not recommended.

6. Apply by air undiluted, or diluted with kerosene, diesel fuel 
or #2 fuel oil. At temperatures below 50 degrees F. 
(10 degrees C.) dilution of 4 _olumes of Carbaryl 4 Oil with 1 
volume of diluent oil is recomm~nded to assure uniform flow 
and s~ra'l dis':ribut:'on. Dilu'::.ons greater than 1 to 1 by 
volume are noc recomme~dcd; cigher dilucions will reduce 
residual properties. Dilute 1 to 1 by volume when applying 
with ground equipment. 
7-. Apply only when weather conditions are favorable. wind and 
rising air currents may cause undesirable spray drift and 
reduce insect control. 
DIRECTIONS FOR USE

INSECT CONTROL 
5 
The directions on this label are based on tests and field 
experience relating to (a) effectiveness; (b) possible injury to 
plants and animals: and (c) residues in food, feed, meat and 
milk. Follow directions for most effective use. DOSAGES LISTED 
REFER TO QUARTS OF CARBARYL 4 OIL PER ACRE, NOT TO VOWME OF 
FINISHED SPRAY PER ACRE. Refer to Steps 4 and 6 under STORAGE 
AND APPLICATION FOR INSTRUCTION ON DIWTION. 
COlUf (Pield. Pop) INSECT CONTROL _ 
For corn rootworm beetles: Apply 1 quart of Carbaryl 4 Oil per 
acre as needed at first silking if populations are at economic 
levels and/or apply later when needed to control adult popUlation 
buildup to reduce larval damage to next year's crop. Do not make 
more than two applications. 
For western Bean Cutworm: Apply a single application of 2 quarts 
of Carbaryl 4 Oil plus 2 quarts diesel fuel, kerosene or '2 fuel 
oil per acre when an average of 1 in 7 plants have western bean 
cutworm egg masses or newly hatched larvae and 90 to 100% of the 
tassels have emerged. Application after 100% of the silks have 
emerged will reduce effectiveness. 
For Japanese Beetle: Apply 1 quart Carbaryl 4 Oil per acre when 
adult beetles are present. 
For Grasshoppers: Apply 1/4 to 1-1/4 quarts Carbaryl 4 Oil per 
acre. Lower rate is suggested for nymphs on small plants. Use 1 
to 1 1/2 quarts when grasshoppers or foliage are mature and 
greater coverage is required. 
FOREST INSECT CONTROL 
For control of Gypsy Moth, Fall and Spring Cankerworms, Saddled 
Prominent, Forest Tent caterpillar, Elm Spanworm, Oak Leafroller 
Complex and Japanese Beetle: Apply 1 quart Carbaryl 4 Oil per 
acre when larvae are in early ins tars and leaves are at least 1/3 
grown, or when adult Japanese Beetles are present. 
For Spruce Budworm and Western Spruce Budworm: Apply 1 quart 
Carbaryl 4 Oil per acre for foliage protection. East of the Rock 
Mountains apply when larvae are in third and fourth instars. In 
the Rocky Mountains and west of the Rocky Mountains apply when 
larvae are in third through fifth instars. 
For Douglas Fir 'l'ussock Moth: For maximum foliage protection 
apply 2 quarts Carbaryl 4 oil per acre when larvae are in first 
and second instars. Application to later instars will provide 
control but wi til reduced foliage protection. 
CARB40IL.DOC 9/17/93

6 
For population control and foliage protection of high value trees 
using g~ound mist blower application, apply 4/5 pint of spray 
mixture containing equal volumes of Carbaryl 4 oil and diesel 
fuel, kerosene or ~2 fuel oil per 20 to 30 foot trees (1/5 lb. 
ai/t~ee) when larvae are in early instars. Cover foliage 
t~orcughly, bu~ avoid r~~o~=. 
PASTURE, RANGELAND AND WASTELAND INSECT CON'l'ROL . 
For Grasshoppers: Apply 1/2 to 1-1/2 quarts of Carbaryl 4 oil 
per acre. Lower rate is suggested for nymphs on small plants or 
sparse vegetation. Use higher rate when grasshoppers are mature 
or vegetation is thick. 
For Range caterpillar: Apply 1/2 to 1 quart of Carbaryl 4 Oil 
per acre. Use the lower rate when larvae are in early instars 
and the higher rate for later instars. 
For Japanese Beetle: Apply 1 quart of Carbaryl 4 Oil per acre 
when adult beetles are present.
