specifically marked and set up for this purpose
clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots. Empty
containers and product should NOT be burnt.
SAFETY DIRECTIONS: Very dangerous, particularly the
concentrate. Product and spray are poisonous if
absorbed by skin contact, inhaled or swallowed. Repeated minor
