GARDENING
the Orange Stuff is not a pesticide or insecticide. However, customers have repeatedly reported success with the Orange Stuff for the following applications. We recommend that you try it for yourself!
Use 1-2 oz the Orange Stuff per gallon of water to remove insects, including ants, spider mites, potato beetles.
For delicate plants, such as roses, use 1 oz per gallon of water to remove aphids, gnats and white flies.
To get rid of fire ants, use 10 oz of the Orange Stuff per gallon of water. Do not spray plants with this strength of the Orange Stuff !
To keep rabbits, deer, and rodents away from gardens and trees, spray plants with 1-2 oz of the Orange Stuff per gallon of water. Organic growers: Orange TKO is organic.

features and benefits:
• EPA-approved, non-toxic formula safe for use around children and food
• eliminates insects with all-natural ingredient d'Limonene
• d'Limonene dissolves a protective layer of wax from the exoskeletons of insects causing them to suffocate and die
• use as a contact insecticide for immediate kill
• also provides residual action weeks after application
Indoor Use:
Spray from 8 to 12 inches directly on ants, roaches, palmettos, fleas, silverfish, and other insect pests. Saturate area until visibly wet. Spray cracks and crevices, in kitchens and pantries, under cabinets and appliances, anywhere insects hide. Wait three minutes and wipe excess with damp sponge or cloth. Apply to bedding to control fleas. Keeps repelling for weeks.
Made with the all-natural ingredient d'Limonene, is a non-toxic insecticide that can be safely used around children as well as in food processing areas. From schools and daycare centers to restaurant kitchens, and food processing plants, safely wipes out unwanted insects without posing a threat to children or food. The ingredient d'Limonene instantly strips away a protective wax coating from the exoskeletons of insects which causes them to suffocate and die on contact. And yet, it will not harm people, pets or food.
A study by McMaster University shows that d'limonene cleans so thoroughly it destroys the life line of bacteria, thus it eliminates the bacteria itself. D'limonene has been approved by The Canadian Dept. of Ag. for use in food establishments and for the removal of parasitic insects.
the Orange Stuff Plant Insect Control.
Kills and repels all insects associated with plants including scale. Made from oranges. No harmful toxic chemical compounds. It's time to celebrate! This is the stuff we have been waiting for. Easy on the plants, humans, and pets but kills those hateful little #**#**# bugs dead dead dead dead dead!!!!!
System flush: D'limonene is an important nutrient within all plants. Use 4 oz of the Orange Stuff in 45 gallons of water, or 1/2 oz in 5 gallons of water. Foaming will occur to assist in reducing nutrient build up.
Plant nutrients: Add 1 oz of the Orange Stuff to 45 gallons of water. Foaming naturally occurs to release d'limonene to the plant, which allows the plant to absorb nutrients more freely.

Eliminate bad odors and taste in fresh water system
Recommended by Highways Magazine. Mix 5 - 10 oz. of the Orange Stuff in a gallon of water and put into fresh water holding tank. Always mix with water before pouring into tank - never put concentrated the Orange Stuff on plastic surfaces! Add approximately 9 more gallons of fresh water. (If you wish to use more water, add the Orange Stuff so that the mix is 1/2 oz per gallon of water to 1 oz per gallon of water.) Bounce trailer to agitate, then run it through the water system. Don't forget the hot water tap to clean out the water heater. Run about half of it through, then leave it sit for 3 - 5 minutes. Run the remaining mix through the lines. Rinse by adding fresh water to the tank and running it through the lines. If there is any orange odor or taste to the water, it will go away after a couple of rinses. the Orange Stuff is 100% natural and is not a poison. Do not leave in system for extended periods of time - orange odor and taste may be more difficult to get rid of.

Shelf Life
Under ideal conditions, the shelf life of d-Limonene, orange terpenes, orange oil, and most other citrus by-products is approximately 18 months to 2 years.?? Because product degradation is caused by exposure to oxygen, proper care must be taken to prevent oxidation of citrus by-products.?? It is recommended that d-Limonene, orange terpenes, and orange oil be stored in airtight drums until needed.? The air in partially used drums should be displaced with a layer of nitrogen.? Citrus terpenes stored in bulk tanks should be protected with an inert gas.?
If exposed directly to air, d-Limonene will begin to oxidize in two to three months.? Although oxidation will not affect the chemical properties of citrus terpenes, it will adversely affect the aroma.? In addition to proper storage, oxidation may be retarded with the addition of an antioxidant.? FHD recommends the use of BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene).? The antioxidant can be added before shipment at the customer’s request for a nominal charge.?
Storage Conditions
Oxidation is best prevented by proper storage.? Because heat will accelerate oxidation, it is recommended that drums of d-Limonene be stored out of direct sunlight at temperatures below + 35? C (95? F).? Short-term exposure of sealed drums to higher temperatures should not affect the product.?
The freezing point of d-Limonene is -96? C (-142? F).? Exposure to extreme low temperatures should not affect d-Limonene product quality.? However, it should be noted that water – which is naturally present in trace amounts – might be extracted from the d-Limonene if exposed to temperatures below 0? C (32? F).?? Although this will not affect the integrity of the product, it may collect at the bottom of the drum or storage tank.? If the drum is un-lined, the water may cause rust.? In the phenolic-lined drums that FHD uses, this is rarely a problem.
A Note about pH measurement and d-Limonene:
In general, the standard pH test assumes an aqueous solution (water based). The pH of water immiscible solvents (Limonene) cannot be measured using typical methods.? The chemistry of organic solvents prevents accurate measurements using the 0-14 scale and standard electrodes. ?
A “relative” pH measurement can be obtained by mixing the oil with an equal volume of water (preferably purified with no dissolved salts).? The pH of the water should be measured before mixing.? Mix the water and oil for approximately 5 minutes and then allow the phases to separate.? Measure the pH of the water phase again.? In principle, the pH of the water is now a reflection of the pH of the oil.? This is not a precise value, but can be used as an estimation for most applications.? Due to the nature of citrus processing, Limonene typically contains residual amounts of anhydrous citric acid and thus yields an acidic “relative” pH value.? The most common problem associated with the pH issue is when water collects at the bottom of vessels containing Limonene.? The Limonene is replenished based on the process, but the water is stagnant and continues to become more acidic over time.? This can cause corrosion problems.? ?
Storage Safety
It is recommended that all local storage safety precautions be followed.? In the Orange Stuff d-Limonene is not considered a hazardous material when stored in a warehouse in drums.?? When shipped by air or ocean, the Orange Stuff d-Limonene is considered hazardous and must be labeled accordingly.?? If d-Limonene is stored in drums marked with hazardous labels, local regulatory agencies may consider d-Limonene hazardous.??
The closed cup flashpoint of d-Limonene is approximately 46? C (115? F).? Research shows that d-Limonene may not be able to support a flame unless its temperature is significantly higher.? Nevertheless, FHDl recommends that d-Limonene not be stored above the published flashpoint.???????
the Orange Stuff d-Limonene should be stored away from direct sunlight.?? Warehouses and re-packaging facilities should be adequately ventilated.? Please consult your local regulatory agency and/or fire marshal for warehousing and storage requirements.???
Plastic Containers
Most retail products containing d-Limonene are packaged in plastic containers.? However, most plastics will react adversely if in contact with d-Limonene for extended periods.? Eventually, the sides of the package will start collapsing inward (known as “paneling”).? While this does not affect the integrity of the package, paneling renders the package aesthetically unacceptable for retail display.? In addition, the d-Limonene may seep through untreated plastic, causing adhesive labels to peel off.
FHD recommends the use of fluorinated plastic containers or PET for retail packaging.? Fluorinated plastic containers resist paneling and are impervious to d-Limonene.? There are two methods of fluorinating containers.? The plastic can be blow-molded with fluorine gas; or the pre-made containers can be treated with fluorine.?
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES: Avoid use of water as it may spread flame.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Combustible liquid. Keep away from sparks and??? open flame.
SECTION V: HEALTH HAZARD DATA
