Beneficial insects: Relatively harmless to bees. GF-120 is relatively safe for contact with bees. GF-120 releases an ammoniac type compound which attracts fruitflies but is repellent to bees. It is there for highly unlikely that bees will be attracted and killed by the bait. Notwithstanding, do not apply directly to foraging bees, or bee colonies. GF-120 is relatively harmless to beneficial insects such as parasites, predatory mites, coccinellidae and neuroptera. Store in a cool and dry place, away from food and feedstuffs. Keep out of reach of children, uninformed persons and animals.

Get medical attention if irritation persists. Do not eat, drink or smoke whilst mixing or applying. Wash hands and face before eating, drinking, smoking or using the toilet.
