DIRECTIONS FOR USE 
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. 
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL 
Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage or disposal. 
PESTICIDE STORAGE: Store in original container only. In case of leak or spill, contain material with absorbent materials 
and dispose of as waste. 
PESTICIDE DISPOSAL: Wastes resulting from the use of this product may be disposed of on site according to label use 
directions or at an approved waste disposal facility. 
CONTAINER HANDLING: Rigid, Non refillable containers small enough to shake (i.e. with'capacities less than 5 gallons). 
Non-refillable container. Do not reuse 
or refill this container. Clean container promptly after emptying. Triple rinse container (or equivalent) promptly after 
emptying. 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 1/4 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 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this procedure 
two more times. Once container is rinsed, offer for recycling if available or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill or 
by incineration. 
Rigid Non-refillable containers that are too large to shake (i.e., with capacities greater than 5 gallons or 50 Ibs). 
Non-refillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Refer to Bottom Discharge IBC or Top Discharge lBe, 
Drums, Kegs information as follows. 
Bottom Discharge IBC (e.g. - Schuetz Caged IBC or Snyder Square Stackable) 
Pressure rinsing the container before final disposal is the responsibility of the person disposing of the container. To 
pressure rinse the container before final disposal, empty the remaining contents from the IBC into application equipment 
or mix tank. Raise the bottom of 
the IBC by 1.5 inches on the side which is opposite of the bottom discharge valve to promote more complete product 
removal. Completely remove the top lid of the IBC. Use water pressurized to at least 40 PSI to rinse all interior portions. 
Continuously pump or drain rinsate into application equipment or rinsate collection system while pressure rinsing. 
Continue pressure rinsing for 2 minutes or until rinsate becomes clear. Replace the lid and close bottom valve. 
Top Discharge IBC, Drums, Kegs (e.g.- Snyder 120 Next Gen, Bonar B120, Drums, Kegs). 
Triple rinsing the container before final disposal is the responsibility of the person disposing of the container. To triple 
rinse the container before final disposal, empty the remaining contents from this container into application equipment or 
mix tank. Fill the container at least 10 percent full with water. Agitate vigorously or recirculate water with the pump for 2 
minutes. Rinse all interior surfaces. Pour or pump rinsate into application equipment or rinsate collection system. Repeat 
this procedure two more times. 
Once container is rinsed, offer for recycling if available or puncture and dispose of in a sani~ary landfill or by incineration. 
SECURE II is a 2 Ib/gallon SC formulation that can be used to protect stored grains and other commodities from insect 
damage at an active ingredient concentration of 1 ppm by weight.

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, indian meal moth, angoumois grain moth, Texas 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 II Liquid Stored Grain 
Insecticide for residual protection. 
STORED SEED: For the protection of stored seed against injury from the stored grain insects listed above. For optimum 
results, thoroughly clean and treat seed storage areas prior to storage of seed. If seed is insect infested, fumigate to 
control existing populations and apply SECURETM II Liquid Stored Grain Insecticide for residual protection. 
SECURETM II Liquid Stored Grain Insecticide may also be used in conjunction with registered fungicides or other. 
insecticide seed protectants. Seed treated with SECURE II Liquid Stored Grain Insecticide alone, is considered food­
quality grain. 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.

Specific Use Directions: Dilute SECURpM II Liquid Stored Grain Insecticide with water and mix thoroughly and 
occasionally agitate. Apply as a course spray to the moving grain to give a deposit of the desired concentration treating 
the entire grain mass. Apply 5 gallons of spray mixture per 1,000 bushels of grain, for all grain listed above except rice. 
For rice apply 10 gallons of spray mixture per 1,000 bushels due to the absorbant grain coat. 
Application per Ton of Grain or Seed: For crops typically treated per metric tonne (2,200 Ib), such as grain for export, 
apply 0.14 fl oz or 4.1 milliliters per metric tonne to deliver 1 ppm of active ingredient. 
For crops typically treated per ton (2,000 Ib), i.e., bird seed or any crop listed in the table above, apply 0.13 fI oz or 3.8 
milliliters per ton to deliver 1 ppm of active ingredient. 
Top Dressing Treatments: These treatments are not as effective as treating the full grain column, but they can provide· 
significant protection from some insects such as indian meal moth. For each 1,000 sq ft of surface, mix 1.0 fl oz of 
SECURE II Liquid grain Insecticide in 2.0 gallons of water. Apply one-half of the total application amount evenly across 
the surface and then rake to a depth of at least 4 inches. Complete the treatment by applying the remaining half to the 
surface and leave undisturbed.
