Safety and Handling

Surefire Fortune 500 is classified as an organophosphorus pesticide, liquid, toxic (contains chlorpyrifos), and is a scheduled poison. It is harmful if swallowed, inhaled or in contact with skin, and prolonged exposure carries a danger of serious harm. It works by inhibiting cholinesterase, an enzyme essential to the nervous system.

Handle it only with the personal protective equipment specified on the label, avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing, and avoid breathing vapours or spray mist. Do not allow bystanders to contact the spray. It is dangerous to fish and other aquatic life, so keep it well away from ponds, waterways and drains, and prevent spray drift onto other areas. Store it in the closed original container in a secure place away from children, food and feed, and follow the label and SDS for first aid and spill response.
