AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard (WPS), 40 CFR Part 170. This standard contains the requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries and greenhouses and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instru ctions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE), restricted-entry interval (REI) and notification to workers. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered in the WPS. Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the REI. The REI for Carbaryl is 12 hours unless otherwise specifi ed in the directions for use associated with each crop. PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the WPS and that involves contact with anything that has been treated such as plants, soil or water is: Coveralls over long-sleeved shirt and short pants, chemical-resistant gloves made of any wate rproof material, chemical-resistant footwear plus socks, chemical-resistant headgear if overhead exposure. When the REI for a crop is 7 days or longer, you must notify workers of the application by warning them orally and by posting w arning signs at entrances to treated area. 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.
