KEEP
OFF® is safe to use?
 KEEP
OFF is non-toxic and safe to use if handled according to the
directions.
In general, KEEP OFF can have no damaging effect on
your garden or vegetables. The residual effect on your garden, lawn,
vegetables or compost will be negligible. However, long term use on
vegetables is not recommended.
In the case of KEEP OFF spray, take care when
spraying the foliage of shrubs or ornamental, soft-bodied plants. The
active is phytotoxic to this type of plant growth. It does not appear
to affect ordinary lawn grasses. Nor, does it appear to adversely
affect the foliage of common evergreen shrubs. It does not appear to
harm hardy, woody perennials (including roses) when applied to trunks
or stems. It can spot-burn the leaves of some plants and it is
advisable to test on sensitive plants beforehand.
KEEP OFF gel and spray were tested without adverse
effect on a variety of surfaces and fabrics in and around the home
e.g. tiles, varnished timber, plastic covered furniture, upholstery
fabric and coloured cloth of various types. It did stain some types of
paintwork and caused bare metal to corrode. It is impossible to test
on all the types of surfaces and fabrics that might exist in a home.
Therefore, it is advisable to test a small, inconspicuous area before
applying.
