ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS: This product is highly toxic to birds, fish and other wildlife. Birds, especially waterfowl (ducks or geese), feeding or drinking on treated areas may be killed. Because of the migrating habits of certain Atlantic Coast waterfowl, do not apply this product to lawns in Nassau County NY between Nov. 1 and May 20. Do not exceed maximum permitted label rates. Application rates above dose recommended significantly increase potential hazards to birds. Avoid overlapping granules. Granules that are spilled or are visible on soil surface should be covered with soil or thoroughly mixed into the soil. For lawns, follow all watering instructions in the direct use, however, stop watering if puddling occurs. For lawns, do not apply this product to sites occupied by waterfowl or within 75 feet of any body of water which may attract waterfowl, such as ponds or lakes. Keep out of lakes, streams, ponds, tidal marshes and estuaries. Do not apply directly to water. Runoff may be hazardous to fish and other aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. Shrimp and crab may be killed at application rates recommended on the label. Do not apply where fish, shrimp, crab and other aquatic life are important resources.
