Wash contaminated clothing daily. Wash with soap and water after use or accidental skin contact. Do not eat, drink or smoke whilst mixing, applying or before washing hands and face. Clean applicator after use, dispose of wash water where it will not contaminate crops, grazing, rivers and dams. Rinse empty container three times with a volume of water equal to at least one tenth of that of the container and add the rinsings to the contents of the tank before disposing of the container in the prescribed manner. Destroy empty container by perforation and flattening and never use for any other purpose. Prevent contamination of food, feedstuffs, drinking water and eating utensils. Symptoms of human poisoning: No human poisoning was reported. Swallowing large quantities may cause vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain depressed muscular tone, muscle cramps and respiratory disturbances and trembling may occur. In cases of severe poisoning, any or a combination of the following may occur: apathetic state, depressed muscle tone and/or cramps, trembling, respiratory disturbances. FIRST AID MEASURES First aid for eyes : Flush eyes immediately with large amounts of gently flowing cold water, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids, until no evidence of chemical remains (approximately 15 to 20 minutes). Obtain medical advice immediately. First aid for skin : Remove contaminated clothing, shoes and leather goods immediately. Gently wipe of excess chemical. Wash skin gently and thoroughly with clean water and nonabrasive soap until no evidence of chemical remains (approximately 15 to 20 minutes). Do not rub skin. Obtain medical advice if necessary. First aid for inhalation : Remove source of contamination, or leave contaminated area to fresh air as rapidly as possible. Keep the affected person warm and at rest. Treat symptomatically and supportively. Get medical attention immediately if effects or irritation persist. First aid for ingestion : Do not induce vomiting. Obtain medial advice immediately and make the container, or label or this Data Sheet available. Never give anything by mouth to a semi-conscious or unconscious person.

If person is alert, rinse mouth with water and give water to drink. Immediately take the patient to the nearest physician. Note to physician : This product contains imidacloprid, which belongs to the chloronicotinyl or neonicotinoid chemical group. There is no specific antidote available. Treat symptomatically and supportively. The stomach should be emptied as soon as possible by careful gastric lavage. Provide supportive measures for respiratory function and cardiac action. RESISTANCE WARNING For resistance management, BANDIT 350 SC is a group code 4A insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to BANDIT 350 SC and other group 4 insecticides. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if these insecticides are used repeatedly. These resistant insects may not be controlled by BANDIT 350 SC or any other group 4 insecticides. BANDIT 350 SC/April

4 To delay insecticide resistance: - Avoid exclusive repeated use of insecticides from the same insecticide group code. Alternate or tank-mix with products from different insecticide group codes. Do not apply BANDIT 350 SC, or any other product that belongs to the same chemical group, more than once per year on citrus (bearing, non-bearing and nursery trees). - Integrate the control methods (chemical, cultural, biological) into insect control programmes. For specific information on resistance management contact the registration holder of this product. AERIAL APPLICATION Aerial application may only be done by a registered aerial application operator using a registered and correctly calibrated aircraft according to the instructions of SANS Code (Aerial Application of Pesticides). It is important to ensure that the spray mixture is distributed evenly over the target area and that the loss of spray material during application is restricted to a minimum. It is therefore essential that the following criteria be met: Equipment Use suitable atomising equipment (hydraulic nozzles or rotary atomisers) that will produce the desired droplet size and coverage of the target area and will ensure the minimum loss of product through drift. The operator must use a nozzle set-up that will produce a droplet spectrum with the lowest possible relative span. All nozzles and atomisers should be positioned within the inner 75 % of the wingspan to prevent droplets from entering the wingtip vortices. Application parameters A minimum volume of 30 l spray mixture per ha is recommended. As this product has not been evaluated at a reduced volume rate, the registration holder cannot guarantee efficacy nor be held responsible for any adverse effects if this product is applied aerially at a lower volume rate than recommended. A droplet coverage of 25 to 35 droplets per sq cm must be recovered at the target. A droplet spectrum with a VMD of microns is recommended. Ensure that the production of fine droplets, with a VMD less than 150 microns, is restricted to a minimum. The height of the spray boom should be maintained at between 3 to 4 m (warrant) above the target. Do not spray when the aircraft is in a climb, at the top of a turn or during a dive or when banking. Apply before the crop growth becomes too dense, which will interfere with overall plant coverage. Meteorological conditions The difference between the wet and dry bulb readings as determined by a whirling hygrometer, must not exceed 8 ºC. Do not spray under turbulent, unstable conditions nor during the heat of the day when rising thermals and downdraughts occur. Do not spray under temperature inversion conditions (spraying in or above the inversion layer). Do not spray when the wind speed exceeds 15 km per hour. BANDIT 350 SC/April

5 General Ensure that fields are accurately marked and that the aerial spray operator knows exactly which fields to spray. Obtain an assurance from the aerial spray operator that the above requirements will be met. COMPATIBILITY Do not apply BANDIT 350 SC in a tank mixture with any other agricultural product on apples. BANDIT 350 SC is compatible with Nemacur 400 EC (Reg. No. L367) and Momento 250 SC (Reg. No. L7984) when applied on potatoes. BANDIT 350 EC should never be mixed with any other chemicals. BANDIT 350 SC is compatible with the wetting adjuvant, Silhouette (Reg. No. L8654) when applied on sugarcane. MIXING Pour the required quantity of BANDIT 350 SC into the water while agitating.
