with a pesticide, do not eat or drink 

 until you have washed. In case a 

 pesticide is swallowed or gets in the 

 eyes, follow the first aid treatment 

 given on the label, and get prompt 

 medical attention. If a pesticide is 

 spilled on your skin or clothing, re- 

 move clothing immediately and wash 

 skin thoroughly. 



Chlordane can be absorbed directly 

 through the skin in harmful quantities. 

 When working with this insecticide in 

 any form, take extra care not to let it 

 come into contact with the skin. 



Do not clean spray equipment or 



dump excess spray material near 

 ponds, streams, or wells. Because it 

 is difficult to remove all traces of 

 herbicides from equipment, do not use 

 the same equipment for insecticides 

 or fungicides that you use for 

 herbicides. 



Dispose of empty pesticide contain- 

 ers promptly. Have them buried at a 

 sanitary land-fill dump, or crush and 

 bury them in a level, isolated place. 



Note: Some States have restrictions 

 on the use of certain pesticides. Before 

 applying insecticides, check your State 

 and local regulations. 



The white-fringed beetle is easy to mistake for other insects. 

 The color illustrations will help you distinguish it from similar- 

 looking beetles.
