EAPrecautionary Statement
Hazards to Humans and Domestic AnimalsCAUTION: Causes moderate eye irritation. Harmful if swallowed. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. Remove contaminated clothing and wash clothing before reuse. Wear safety glasses or goggles, long sleeve shirt, long pants, shoes and socks, and chemical-resistant gloves. Prolonged or frequently repeated skin contact may cause allergic reaction in some individuals.Skin exposure may also result in a sensation described as tingling, itching, burning or prickly feeling. Onset may occur immediately to 4 hours after exposure and may last 2 to 30 hours, without damage. Wash exposed areas thoroughly with soap and water. Relief from skin sensation may be obtained by applying an oil-based cream.
First AidIf in 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 center or doctor for treatment advice.If swallowed: Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by a poison control center or doctor. Do not give any liquid to the person. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Note to Physician: Induced vomiting as first aid for this 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.Have the product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or doctor, or going for treatment. You may also contact SafetyCall® International (866) 897-8050 for emergency medical treatment information.
Environmental HazardsThis pesticide is extremely toxic to fish and aquatic organisms and toxic to wildlife. To protect the environment, do not allow pesticide to enter or run off into storm drains, drainage ditches, gutters or surface waters. Applying this product in calm weather when rain is not predicted for the next 24 hours will help to ensure that wind or rain does not blow or wash pesticide off the treatment area. Rinsing application equipment over the treated area will help to avoid run off to water bodies or drainage systems.Do not allow applications to contact water inhabited by fish, such as aquariums and ornamental fish ponds that are located in and around structures being treated.This product is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment or residues on blooming crops or weeds. Do not apply this product or allow it to drift to blooming crops or weeds if bees are visiting the treatment area.
Physical and Chemical HazardsDo not use or store near heat or open flame.Do not use OPTIMATE CS in conduits, motor housings, junction boxes, switch boxes, or other electrical equipment because of possible shock hazard.

PREMISE AND PERIMETERPEST CONTROL
OPTIMATE CS is for use as a general surface (nonfood/nonfeed areas), crack and crevice, or spot treatment in, on, and around buildings and structures and their immediate surroundings, and on modes of transport. Areas of use include, industrial build-ings, houses, patios, porches, closets, furniture, apartment buildings, mobile homes, laboratories, buses, greenhouses (non-commercial), stores, factories, warehouses, wineries, ves-sels, railcars, trucks, trailers, aircraft (cargo and other non-cabin areas only), schools, nursing homes, hospitals, mausoleums, restaurants, hotels, correctional facilities, livestock/poultry housing, pet kennels, food granaries, food grain mills and food manufacturing, processing, and servicing establishments.Nonfood/nonfeed areas of food/feed handling establishments include garbage rooms, lavatories, floor drains (to sewers), entries and vestibules, offices, locker rooms, machine rooms, boiler rooms, garages, mop closets, and storage (after canning or bottling).For indoor applications, OPTIMATE CS can be reapplied at 21-day intervals if necessary.
6
Mixing InstructionsDilute OPTIMATE CS with water for application using hand-held or power-operated application equipment as a coarse spray for crack and crevice or spot and general surface (non-food/nonfeed areas only) treatments. Application equip-ment that delivers low volume treatments, such as the Micro-Injector® or Actisol® applicator, may also be used to make crack and crevice or spot and general surface treatments. Fill applicator tank with the desired volume of water and add OPTIMATE CS. Close and shake before use in order to en-sure proper mixing. Shake or reagitate applicator tank before use if application is interrupted. Mix only amount of treatment volume as required. OPTIMATE CS may be applied by using a paintbrush or other porous applicator attached to a handle as a general surface treatment.Tank MixingOPTIMATE CS may be tank mixed with other currently registered pesticides unless expressly prohibited by the product label. A small volume mixing test with the other products is recommend-ed to ensure compatibility. If other chemicals are added to the applicator tank, OPTIMATE CS should be added last. If mixed with EC formulations, use within 24 hours. Fill tank to desired volume and continue to agitate while making applications.OPTIMATE CS may be tank mixed with an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR). Observe all restrictions and precautions which appear on the labels of these products.Foam ApplicationsOPTIMATE CS may be converted to a foam and the foam used to treat premise voids to control or prevent pests including ants, bees, termites (above ground only), wasps, or other ar-thropods harboring in walls, under slabs, or in other void areas.

Application Within Food Handling Establishments For places other than private residences in which exposed food is held, processed, prepared, or served including, but not limited to, areas for receiving, storage, packing (canning, bot-tling, wrapping, boxing), preparing foods, edible waste storage and enclosed processing systems (mills, dairies, edible oils, syrups), and serving areas. Use as a crack and crevice or spot treatment in and around both food and nonfood areas. Apply in small amounts directly into cracks and crevices, using equipment capable of deliv-ering a pin stream of insecticide, in points between different elements of construction, between equipment and floor, open-ings leading to voids and hollow spaces in walls, equipment and bases. Food contact surfaces and equipment should be cleaned with an effective cleaning compound and rinsed with potable water before using.Limit individual spot treatments to an area no larger than 20% of the treated surface. Individual spot treatments may not exceed two sq. ft. Take extreme care that the product is not introduced into the air. Avoid contamination of food and food processing surfaces.Application Within Food Serving Areas For facilities where foods are served, such as dining rooms. Apply as a crack and crevice or spot treatment to selective surfaces such as baseboards, under elements of construction, and into cracks and crevices. Avoid treating surfaces likely to be contacted by food. (Do not apply when facility is in opera-tion or foods are exposed.) Food must be covered or removed in area being treated. Do not apply directly to food or allow applications to contaminate food.
17
NOTE: Application of this product in the Food Areas and/or Food Serving Areas of Food Handling Establishments other than as a spot and/or crack and crevice treatment is not permitted. Use of application equipment such as the Micro-Injector or Actisol applicator in food areas should be limited to crack and crevice treatment only.Livestock/Poultry Housing Structures and Pet Kennels: OPTIMATE CS may be used as a general surface and/or crack and crevice treatment. Treat interior and exterior perimeter applications in and around livestock, poultry and pet housing structures for optimum control. Suitable cleaning practices of the structure must also be followed along with applications of OPTIMATE CS insecticide to effectively control the listed insects.LITTER BEETLES: To control adult litter (darkling, hide and carrion beetles) beetles in animal housing, including poultry housing, apply OPTIMATE CS insecticide to walls and floors at each grow-out or sanitation procedure, before reintroduc-tion of poultry or other animals. Re-apply after each grow-out or sanitation procedure to control beetles that escaped earlier treatment and delay the onset of further infestations. Beetles frequently occur in areas such as on walls, supports, cages, stalls and around feeders, so pay careful attention to these places. For poultry houses where birds are grown on litter, treat the floor area. For poultry houses where birds are grown in cages, treat the walls, posts, cage framing and into cracks and crevices around insulation. Also apply as a perimeter treatment around the outside of the building foundations to prevent bee-tles from entering from outside. To prevent populations from reaching a problem level, a year-round maintenance program is highly recommended.
18
RESTRICTIONS:• DO NOT make applications of OPTIMATE CS insecticide in
areas where animals, except for cattle and calves, are present in the facility. Allow treated surfaces to dry completely before restocking the facility.
• DO NOT make applications to any animal feedstuffs, water or watering equipment.
• DO NOT contaminate any animal food, feed or water in and around livestock, poultry or pet housing when making applications.
Outdoor Surfaces And PerimetersTo control flies, fleas, mosquitoes, ants, bees, wasps, centi-pedes, cockroaches, crickets, pillbugs, scorpions, sowbugs, spiders, termites* (above ground only), ticks and other listed pests, apply OPTIMATE CS with either hand or power applica-tion equipment as a residual treatment to ornamental plants next to foundations of buildings and to external surfaces of buildings, porches, screens, door and window frames, eaves, patios, garages, refuse dumps and other areas where insects rest or congregate. OPTIMATE CS may also be applied to lawns around non-residential buildings, or to refuse dumps or other non-residential areas where these insect pests congre-gate. Remove all exposed food and cooking utensils. Cover all food handling surfaces or wash thoroughly after treatment and before use. Do not use on edible crops.For Perimeter treatments, apply a continual band of insec-ticide around building foundations and around windows, doors,service line entrances, eaves, vents, and other areas to reduce the potential for entry by crawling pests. Before applica-tion, remove debris and leaf litter from next to the foundation, cut back vegetation and branches that touch the foundation, and move or rake back rocks, deep mulch, or other potential
19
pest harborage next to the foundation. Apply the band up to 10 ft. wide around the structure (or according to state regula-tions governing commercial pest control) and upwards along the foundation to 3 ft. and around windows, doors, and roof overhangs. Apply as a coarse spray to thoroughly and uniformly wet the foundation and/or band area so that the insecticide will reach the soil or thatch level where pests may be active.Amount of concentrate is dependent upon pest species (see pest table and comments), infestation levels, and service in-terval desired.*May be used on termites to kill workers or winged reproduc-tive forms which may be present in treated channels at the time of treatment. These applications are not a substitute for mechanical alteration to control subterranean termites, soil treatment labeled termiticides, or fumigation for extensive in-festation of drywood termites or other wood-infesting insects, but are considered supplemental. This product is not recom-mended as sole protection against termites. For active termite infestations, get a professional inspection.Rate Table For Perimeter Barrier Applications

Example calculation: to apply the mid-rate of OPTIMATE CS at a volume of 5 gal./1000 sq. ft., mix 3.3 fl. oz. of concentrate in 50 gallons of water. The percent active ingredient in the finished OP-TIMATE CS dilution can be calculated with the following formula:mL needed to add times 5.9% active in concentrate, divided by gal. finished dilution times 3785 mL/gal. = % active in dilu-tion. (Example: 3.3 fl. oz. in 50 gal. is 100 mL times 5.9 equals 590, and 50 gal. times 3785 is 189250. Dividing 590 by 189250 equals 0.003% active ingredient the tank dilution.) NOTE: Do not use water based sprays of OPTIMATE CS in conduits, motor housings, junction boxes, switch boxes, or other electrical equipment because of possible shock hazard. Thoroughly wash out sprayer and screen with water and de-tergent before using OPTIMATE CS. OPTIMATE CS has not stained or caused damage to painted or varnished surfaces, plastics, fabrics, or other surfaces where water applied alone causes no damage. However, treat a small area and allow to dry, to determine whether staining will occur.LET TREATED SURFACES DRY BEFORE ALLOWING HUMANS AND PETS TO CONTACT SURFACES.RESTRICTIONS:• DO NOT use this product with oil.• DO NOT apply this product in any room being used as living,
eating, sleeping, or recovery area by patients, the elderly, or infirm when they are in the room.
• DO NOT apply to institutions (including libraries, sports facili-ties, etc.,) in the immediate area when occupants are present.
• DO NOT apply to classrooms when in use.• DO NOT apply this product to edible growing crops or stored
raw agricultural commodities used for food or feed.• DO NOT allow applications to contact water inhabited by
fish, such as in aquariums and ornamental fish ponds that are located in/around structures being treated.
22
LAWNS/TURFGRASSAND ORNAMENTALS
OPTIMATE CS may be used for applications to maintain in-door or outdoor areas where turf and ornamentals are grown such as residential landscaped areas and non-residential landscapes around institutional, public, commercial and in-dustrial buildings, parks, recreational areas, and athletic fields (Including trees, shrubs, flowers, evergreens, foliage plants and groundcovers). Application rates for turf and ornamentals are lower than premise pest control rates, reflecting that treatment intervals are more frequent.Applicators must ensure that they are certified in the neces-sary pesticide certification categories to allow application of OPTIMATE CS away from structures, such as to turf and orna-mental plantings. Premise pest control certification categories may limit the distance away from structures for pesticide appli-cation. Consult your state extension office or pesticide regula-tory officials for further information.IMPORTANT: Time application to flowering plants during pe-riods when pollinating insects are not present, such as early morning or late evening.RESTRICTIONS:• DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation
system.• DO NOT apply this product to edible crops.• DO NOT apply this product by aerial application.• Use of this pesticide adjacent to water may affect aquatic
organisms. To protect these organisms, DO NOT apply this pesticide within 25 ft. of lakes, reservoirs, rivers, permanent streams, marshes or natural ponds, estuaries, and commer-cial fish farm ponds.
23
• DO NOT make outdoor broadcast applications to turf and ornamentals when wind speed is 15 mph or greater.
• In the state of New York, DO NOT apply within 100 ft. of coastal marshes or streams that drain into coastal marshes.
Mixing InstructionsOPTIMATE CS is to be mixed with water and may be used in all types of standard application equipment. Fill applicator tank with the desired volume of water and add OPTIMATE CS. It is suggested that the water be 5 - 7 pH. Adjust water pH with a buffering agent if necessary. Slowly add OPTIMATE CS to ap-plicator tank water with maximum agitation. Close and shake or reagitate applicator tank before use if application is inter-rupted. Make up only amount of treatment volume as required.Tank MixingOPTIMATE CS may be tank mixed with other currently reg-istered pesticides unless expressly prohibited by the product label. A small volume mixing test with the other products is recommended to ensure compatibility. If other chemicals are added to the applicator tank, OPTIMATE CS should be added last. Fill tank to desired volume and continue to agitate while making applications. If mixed with EC formulations, use within 24 hours.Observe all restrictions and precautions which appear on the labels of these products.INSECT CONTROL on ORNAMENTAL PLANTSOPTIMATE CS is for use to control the pests listed in the table below in such areas as residential landscaped areas and land-scaped areas around institutional, public, commercial and in-dustrial buildings, parks, recreational areas, and athletic fields (including trees, shrubs, flowers, evergreens, foliage plants and groundcovers).
24
NOTE: While phytotoxicity testing has been carried out on a wide range of ornamental plants under various environmental conditions, and no phytotoxicity has been observed, certain cultivars may be sensitive to the final spray solution.It is advised to prespray a selection of ornamental plants and observe them for 7-10 days prior to treating large areas if local use experience is unavailable.RESTRICTIONS:• DO NOT apply more than 0.18 lbs. of the a.i. (46.1 fl. oz. of
concentrate) per acre per year.

INTEGRATED PEST ANDRESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
Many insects have demonstrated the ability to develop re-sistance to insecticides. Frequent exposure of flies and other insects to a single class of insecticide may lead to the develop-ment of resistance to that class of insecticide. The following re-sistance management strategy will help ensure the prolonged usefulness of this and other conventional insecticides.
• Use OPTIMATE CS insecticide and other insecticides only according to label directions.
• Do not use less than the labeled rate of any insecticide.• Include multiple cultural and/or biological controls within
an Integrated Pest Management Program.• Rotate OPTIMATE CS insecticide with other classes of
insecticide (naturalytes, phenyl pyrazoles, chloronicotinyls, and organophosphates, etc.) during an insect pest season.
For advice concerning integrated pest management practices in relation to local conditions, consult resources in resistance management programs, or your Cooperative Agricultural Ex-tension Service.

CAUTION: Causes moderate eye irritation. Harmful if swallowed. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. Remove contaminated clothing and wash clothing before reuse. Wear safety glasses or goggles, long sleeve shirt, long pants, shoes and socks, and chemical-resistant gloves. Prolonged or frequently repeated skin contact may cause allergic reaction in some individuals.
Skin exposure may also result in a sensation described as tingling, itching, burning or prickly feeling. Onset may occur immediately to 4 hours after exposure and may last 2 to 30 hours, without damage. Wash exposed areas thoroughly with soap and water. Relief from skin sensation may be obtained by applying an oil-based cream.
First AidIf in 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 center or doctor for treatment advice.If swallowed: Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by a poison control center or doctor. Do not give any liquid to the person. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.Note to Physician: Induced vomiting as first aid for this 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. Have the product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or doctor, or going for treatment. You may also contact SafetyCall® International (866) 897-8050 for emergency medical treatment information.
