 Decision Number: 499144 
Dear Kelly Rahn, 
The amended label referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under the Federal 
Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, as amended, is acceptable. This approval does not 
affect any conditions that were previously imposed on this registration. You continue to be 
subject to existing conditions on your registration and any deadlines connected with them. 
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 18 months 
from the date of this letter. After 18 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. 
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 Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide 
Act 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 claims substantially differing from the EPA approved registration, 
the website will be referred to the EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance.

GENERAL DIRECTIONS 
This product may be used to limit browsing by white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and black-tailed or mule deer (O.
hemionus), on apple and pear trees, soybeans, peanuts, carrots, nursery stock, ornamental trees and shrubs, annual and 
perennial flowers.
This product may also be used to discourage feeding by cottontail rabbits (Sylvilagus floridanus) and black-tail jack rabbits 
(Lepus californicus) on home gardens and on the trunks of nursery stock and ornamental trees. 
When considering use of this product during cold weather, note that a temperature of at least 40° F for a four hour period is 
needed to allow proper drying time.

-508.20150417.mixing updates Page 3 of 4
Do not apply this product in undiluted form. Do not apply this product with sprayers previously used for herbicides UNLESS 
that sprayer has been sufficiently cleaned to avoid crop injury. Do not spray this product on wilted plants. Do not allow spray
to drift from the application site and contact people, structures people occupy at any time and the associated property, parks 
and recreation areas, nontarget crops, aquatic and wetland areas, woodlands, pastures, rangelands or animals. Apply only when 
wind speed is not more than 10 mph. For sprays, apply the largest size droplets possible. 
Check relevant sections of application directions for information on phytotoxicity and other specific limitations on treatments.
DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system. 
CHEMICAL COMPATIBILITY: Hinder is not chemically compatible with most strongly ionized metallic salts such as zinc 
sulfate, manganese sulfate and iron sulfates. Do not use with strongly acidic spray materials. Hinder is compatible with most 
commonly used organophosphate, carbamate, neonicotinoid and pyrethroid, insecticides and miticides and with neutral micro-
nutrient material. 
APPLICATION DIRECTIONS 
SHAKE CONTAINER WELL BEFORE MIXING OR APPLYING ITS CONTENTS. Hinder may be applied by conventional 
spraying equipment ranging from small hand-held sprayers to commercial sprayers. This product may be applied by aircraft 
only on soybeans, peanuts and carrots.
Under reasonably dry conditions, Hinder should be reapplied every 10 - 14 days for as long as plant protection is needed and 
the treatments appear to be effective. 
Rains may wash Hinder off treated vegetation. Treatment should be repeated after heavy rains. DO NOT apply Hinder when 
rain is expected within the next 24 hours.
For best results, apply Hinder before the animals start feeding on the plants to be protected. Hinder makes treated plant tissues
less palatable to deer and rabbits and can influence them to leave the treated plants alone in favor of other forage. Under 
conditions of severe hunger, treated plants may be damaged substantially. In some cases, protection of plants from deer 
damage may be enhanced by providing a secondary food source such as baled hay just outside the treated area at the time of 
treatment. In other cases, permanent fencing or temporary enclosures may be needed. 
Consult specific directions (below) for the target species and type of treatment involved in your control situation.
DEER
Apple and Pear Trees: To make spray mixture, mix 3 – 5 gallons of Hinder per 100 gallons of water (3.8 – 6.4 fluid ounces per 
gallon). Using ground rig equipment, treat outer vegetation on all lower branches up to 6 - 8 feet above the ground surface. 
Apply spray until all vegetation to be protected has been made wet. 
DO NOT apply during bloom period as treatments may result in phytotoxicity. Applications made between petal fall and 
harvest on fruit bearing apple and pear trees may cause cosmetic damage to the fruit. When treating fruit bearing trees, use 
equipment that provides uniform coverage and no droplet formation on the fruit. Rings may form on fruit in areas of dried 
droplets.
Nursery Stock and Ornamental Trees and Shrubs: For treating large plantations, mix 2 – 4 gallons of Hinder per 100 gallons of 
water. For smaller treatment programs, such as ornamental plants in a yard or garden, mix 1 – 2 pints of Hinder per 5 gallons 
of water (3.2 - 6.4 fluid ounces per gallon). Apply as a full coverage spray using application volumes up to 100 gallons per 
acre to treat foliage that is within reach of browsing deer. DO NOT irrigate from overhead for at least 24 hours after treatment.
Annual and Perennial Flowers: Mix 1 – 2 pints Hinder per 5 gallons of water (3.2 to 6.4 fluid ounces per gallon). Apply as a 
full coverage spray using application volumes up to 100 gallons per acre to treat flowers and foliage that are within reach of 
browsing deer. DO NOT irrigate from overhead for at least 24 hours after treatment. Note: A preliminary trial is 
recommended to determine plant tolerance. Open flowers (e.g., petunias, impatiens and begonias) may show spotting and petal 
fall after treatment. Foliage on some sensitive plants (e.g., impatiens, zinnia, bleeding heart, roses and columbine) can show 
minor marginal burning. New foliage growth and flower buds that open after treatment usually will be unaffected (except for 
salvia and possibly some other types). 
Carrots: Mix 2 – 4 gallons of Hinder per 100 gallons of water (2.6 to 5.1 fluid ounces per gallon). Apply by ground or aerial 
equipment at rates of 50 - 100 gallons of spray solution per acre. 
Soybeans and Peanuts: Mix 1 to 2 quarts of Hinder per 10 gallons of water. Apply by ground or aerial equipment at rates of 
10 - 20 gallons of spray solution per acre.

RABBITS
Trunks of Nursery Stock and Ornamental Trees: Mix equal parts of Hinder and water and apply by brush to trunks of plants to 
be protected. Apply to just above the height that rabbits might reach. 
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL 
DO NOT contaminate water, food or feed by storage or disposal.
PESTICIDE STORAGE: Keep pesticide in original container. Do not put concentrate or dilute into food or drink containers. 
Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a locked storage area. 
PESTICIDE DISPOSAL: Pesticide wastes are acutely hazardous. Improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixture, or 
rinsate is a violation of Federal Law. If these wastes cannot be disposed of by use according to label instructions, contact your
State Pesticide or Environmental Control Agency, or the Hazardous Waste representative at the nearest EPA Regional Office 
for guidance.
CONTAINER DISPOSAL: Nonrefillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Triple rinse as follows: Empty the 
remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank and drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Fill the 
container ¼ full with water and recap. Shake for 10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank or store 
rinsate for later use or disposal. Drain for ten seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this procedure two more times.
Then offer for recycling or reconditioning, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or incineration, or if allowed by
burning. If burned, stay out of smoke.
