| Pesticide Storage and Container Disposal Information |
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.
