Pesticide Storage and Container Disposal
Store all pesticide chemicals away from the reach of
children - preferably locked up. A separate storage area,
well marked with an appropriate sign is recommended.
Carefully dispose of empty containers. The label for
each pesticide can be a source of directions for proper
and safe disposal of pesticide chemicals. Your county
agricultural agent also has literature concerning this
problem.
Do you read the package label for instructions on
how to use insecticides safely? It is better to read this
information today than to worry about mistakes tomorrow.
For a complete listing of suggested control options
for all home, yard and garden insect pests contact your
local Extension Service, found under local government in
the phone book.
Read and follow instructions on the pesticide label.
Heed all warnings. Check with your physician if you have
any concerns regarding your personal health risk.
