GENERAL HAZARDS:
INGESTION:
*European studies completed in 2009 (directive 98/8/EC) indicate toxic warning symbols and reproductive toxicity warning phrases for
these chemicals are required. These studies however focused on the use of these chemicals as wood preservatives where leaching of
the borates could occur. For this product's application as an ant control product this is unlikely to occur and human exposure to the
product is minimal. The packaging and physical form (paste) of this product therefore makes the concerns highlighted in this report of
minimal consequence.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE:
