Directions
General directions involve shaking the can and spraying from 12 to 15 inches away, ensuring birds are removed and fish aquariums are covered before spraying. Specific instructions are provided for treating wounds, protecting wounds after procedures, addressing ear ticks, controlling flies, and managing lice. Wounds should be treated at five to seven-day intervals until healed, and bacterial infections may require supplemental treatment. Fly control involves spraying specific areas of the animal, while lice control may require repeating treatment or spraying roosts and nests for poultry.
There is a 5-day slaughter withdrawal period for swine. The product is highly toxic to aquatic organisms and bees. It is also flammable and under pressure, requiring careful storage away from heat and open flames. Users should follow label instructions for personal protective equipment and ventilation, as using the product inconsistently with its labeling is a violation of Federal law.
Ingredients
- Active Ingredient: Permethrin (CAS No. 52645-53-1) - 0.50%. Permethrin is a synthetic insecticide belonging to the pyrethroid class. It works to paralyze and kill a broad range of insect pests.
- Other Ingredients: 99.50%. These are typically considered "inert" ingredients, meaning they are not the primary active pesticide. While the specific list of these other ingredients isn't always fully disclosed on public-facing product labels, they commonly include things like propellants for the aerosol can, solvents, and a blue dye for easy identification of treated areas. An older safety data sheet lists some components as "Trade secret" at 3-7% and 1-5% respectively.
