Hi-Yield 38-Plus Insect Control - 38% Permethrin will need to be reapplied once a month for outdoor perimeter treatments and every 14 days for pest control on ornamental plants. Please take a few minutes to read over the Hi-Yield 38-Plus Insect Control - 38% Permethrin product label for complete instructions. Below are the Precaution Recommendations according to the MSDS Sheet. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Atmospheric levels should be maintained below the exposure guideline. For most conditions, no respiratory protection should be needed;however, if the exposure guideline is exceeded, use an air- purifying respirator approved for pesticides (U.S. NIOSH/MSHA, EU CEN, or comparable certification organization). EYE/FACE PROTECTION: Use chemical protective goggles or a face shield.SKIN PROTECTION: Wear coveralls or long-sleeved shirt and long pants, chemical protective gloves (nitrile,eoprene, or Viton® brand), head covering and shoes plus socks. For increased exposures, wear a full body cover barrier suit, such as a PVC rain suit. Contaminated leather articles, such as shoes, belts, and watchbands, should be removed and destroyed. Launder all work clothing before reuse. Keep work clothing separated from household laundry.
