RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS:

ECTIBAN 25 Fly Killer contains the synthetic pyrethroid permethrin (a Group 3 Insecticide). Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to permethrin and to other Group 3 Insecticides. Continuous or repeated exposure to insecticides of this group rapidly selects for resistant pests, eventually leading to the failure of the insecticide to provide satisfactory control. Permethrin resistance has already been recorded in horn fly populations in Canada. The use of this product should therefore conform to current resistance management strategies.

To delay insecticide resistance:

1. Where possible, rotate the use of ECTIBAN 25 with insecticides of other groups that control the same pests in a field.

2. Insecticide use should be based on an Integrated pest management program that includes scouting, record keeping, and considers cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.

3. Monitor treated pest populations for resistance development.

4. Consult with local provincial authorities and extension specialist for advice on any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM strategies to control cattle pest populations in your area.

5. For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Intervet Canada Corp. at (866) 683-7838.

Precautions

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED. Do not get in eyes. Wash thoroughly after handling.

For mechanically-pressurized handheld sprayer for mists, aerosols, and fogs applications, or entering treated areas before venting, wear chemical-resistant coveralls with a chemical-resistant hood over long pants, and long-sleeved shirt, chemical-resistant gloves, socks, chemical-resistant footwear, and a respirator with a NIOSH-approved organic vapour-removing cartridge with a prefilter approved for pesticides OR a NIOSH-approved canister approved for pesticides during mixing, loading, application, clean-up and repair.

For mechanically pressurized handgun applications, wear cotton coveralls over long-sleeved shirt, long pants, chemical-resistant gloves, socks, and shoes during mixing, loading, application, clean-up and repair.

For other application equipment wear long pants, long-sleeved shirt, chemical-resistant gloves, shoes, and socks during mixing, loading, application, clean-up and repair, unless otherwise specified.

First Aid

If swallowed, call a poison control centre or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by a poison control centre or doctor. Do not give any liquid to the person. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. In case of contact with eyes, hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Call a poison control centre or doctor for treatment advice. In case of contact with skin or clothing, take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20 minutes. Call a poison control centre or doctor for treatment advice. Take container, label or product name and Pest Control Product Registration Number with you when seeking medical attention.

Toxicological Information

Inducing vomiting as a first aid for this slightly toxic substance may result in increased risk of chemical pneumonia or pulmonary edema caused by aspiration of the hydrocarbon solvent. Vomiting should be induced only under professional supervision. Skin exposure may cause transient sensations (tingling, burning, itching, numbness). Treat symptomatically.

Storage And Disposal

Keep container closed when not in use. Do not store near food or feed. Triple-or pressure-rinse the empty container thoroughly and add the rinsings to the spray mixture in the tank.
