SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
• Be Safety Consious! Read the product label before mixing and applying. Follow the label
instructions. Remember: The label is Federal Law.
• Sprayers hold 4 gallons of liquid, and have been calibrated to spray about 1/10 acre for the
average applicator. However, calibration varies by applicator. If diluting based on a gallonsper-acre rate, you should calibrate the sprayer for yourself.
• Do not lean over with backpack on, as there is a hole in the center of the lid.
• Avoid spraying around desirable vegetation (trees, shrubs, flowers, etc.). Avoid spraying around
water, or areas with high water tables, unless specifically permitted by the herbicide label.
• To minimize risk to bees and butterflies, and to reduce potential of herbicide drift, limit
spraying to the early morning and evening hours.
• Herbicide will not inhibit seed production of flowers already beginning to produce seed.
Remove and bag the seed- and flower-heads from these plants before spraying to prevent
seed-spread.
• After spraying herbicide, wash yourself and your clothing thoroughly with soap and hot water.
Wash spray clothes separately from other laundry and line dry. Discard any clothing soiled with
herbicide.
