Pesticides used improperly can be injurious to human beings, animals,
and plants. Follow the directions and heed all precautions on labels. Store
pesticides in original containers under lock and key—out oft he reach ofc hildren
and-animals—and away from food and feed.
Apply pesticides so that they do not endanger humans, livestock, crops,
beneficial insects, fish, and wildlife. Do not apply pesticides where there is
danger of drift when honey bees or other pollinating insects are visiting plants,
or in ways that may contaminate water or leave illegal residues.
Avoid prolonged inhalation of pesticide sprays or dusts; wear protective
clothing and equipment, if specified on the label.
If your hands become contaminated with a pesticide, do not eat or drink
until you have washed. In case a pesticide is swallowed or gets in the eyes,
follow the first aid treatment given on the label, and get prompt medical
attention. If a pesticide is spilled on your skin or clothing, remove clothing
immediateiy and wash skin thoroughly.
NOTE: Some States have restrictions on the use of
certain pesticides. Check your State and local regula-
tions. Also, because registrations of pesticides are under
constant review by the U.S Environmental Protection
Agency, consult your local forest pathologist, county
agriculture agent, or State extension specialist to be sure
the intended use is still registered.
