8-17 CHAPTER 8. NAVY ENTOMOLOGY AND PEST CONTROL TECHNOLOGY 8-19<br />
Poisons<br />
(2) Use Restrictions of Contact<br />
(a) Indoors. Residual pesticides<br />
within this group that have EPA registration for<br />
use in food preparation areas are limited to crack<br />
and crevice treatment. Do not use these<br />
materials in occupied spaces and do not permit<br />
entry to an area prior to proper ventilation.<br />
Small amounts of these chemicals are applied<br />
directly into natural and construction cracks and<br />
crevices, between equipment bases and floors,<br />
into wall voids, motor housings, junction or<br />
switch boxes, conduits or hollow equipment<br />
legs, and any other place where pests may hide.<br />
In nonfood areas these pesticides may be applied<br />
by spray or brush to floors, walls, ceilings, or<br />
other infested areas. Overall treatment of<br />
interior surfaces of occupied spaces is<br />
prohibited. No person or pet should be allowed<br />
to contact treated surfaces until the liquid<br />
residual dries.<br />
(b) Outdoors. Do not allow<br />
contact poisons to enter any body of water<br />
directly or as runoff because of their toxicity to<br />
aquatic life. Do not use these chemicals on food<br />
or forage plants or on animals in a manner other<br />
than that recommended on the label. Avoid drift<br />
of the sprays or dusts and keep domestic animals<br />
from contact with wet treated surfaces. Restrict<br />
application of these pesticides to infested areas.<br />
8-18. Rodenticide Hazards and Use Restrictions<br />
a. General. If bait stations are accessible<br />
to children, pets, or domestic animals, they<br />
must be kept in tamper-proof boxes. Baits<br />
should be picked up and disposed of upon<br />
completion of the control program. Foodstuffs<br />
such as candy and cookies must not be used as<br />
baits to avoid attracting children and pets. Bait<br />
stations should be checked monthly, unless<br />
rodent activity is noted; then they should be<br />
checked at least weekly.<br />
b. Anticoagulant Baits. All normal<br />
pesticide precautions apply when handling<br />
single or multiple dose anticoagulant materials.<br />
8-19. Fumigant Hazards and Use Restrictions<br />
a. Relatively Nontoxic Fumigants. A<br />
chemical such as naphthalene is relatively safe<br />
to use. However, prolonged inhalation of the<br />
vapors is harmful. They should not be used near<br />
open flames.<br />
b. Extremely Toxic Fumigants. Fumigants<br />
such as aluminum phosphide (hydrogen<br />
phosphide), sulfuryl fluoride, and hydrogen<br />
cyanide are to be used only by trained and<br />
certified personnel. Do not use these agents<br />
without proper review and approval of a medical<br />
entomologist or applied biologist.<br />
