Skin Contact: Slightly toxic and moderately irritating based on toxicity studies. Overexposure by skin

absorption to bifenthrin may occasionally produce skin sensations such as rashes, numbing, burning or

tingling. These skin sensations are reversible and usually subside within 12 hours.

Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. The solvent component, if aspirated into the respiratory system during

ingestion or vomiting may cause chemical pneumonia and lung damage

Inhalation: Low inhalation toxicity based on toxicity studies. Overexposure to the solvent component may

cause irritation to respiratory tract.

Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Inhalation of product may aggravate existing chronic

respiratory problems such as asthma, emphysema or bronchitis. Skin contact may aggravate existing

skin disease.

See Section 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION for more information.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET MONTEREY TERMITE & CARPENTER ANT CONTROL Environmental Fate: In the soil, bifenthrin is stable over a wide pH range and degrades at a slow rate that is governed by soil characteristics. Bifenthrin will also persist in aquatic sediments. Bifenthrin has a high Log Pow (>6.0), a high affinity for organic matter, and is not mobile in soil. Therefore, there is little potential for movement into ground water. There is the potential for bifenthrin to bioconcentrate (BCF = 11,750). 13.
