Household Insects – Homeowners ` Safety

READ THE LABEL — Do not exceed the amounts recommended. Do not contaminate food or feed. Avoid to pets, fish and wildlife. Four Keys to Pesticide Safety:

1. Read the label on each pesticide container before each use. Follow instructions; heed all cautions and warnings. Why read the label each time? Because the chemical nature of pesticides and their uses vary greatly. You should refresh your mind each time on the material’s specific uses. Be sure the product is registered for use in or around the home. 2. Store pesticides in their original, labeled containers. Keep them out of the reach of children and irresponsible people. They cannot be properly identified unless they are in original containers. Lock pesticides in a shed or closet away from food and other household items. 3. Apply pesticides only as directed. Apply them only to the areas specified, in amounts specified and at times specified in label instructions or by your agricultural authorities. 4. Dispose of empty containers safely. It is almost impossible to remove all material from a container. Empty containers with small amounts of pesticides that could harm children or animals and dispose out of reach. Call the Louisiana Department of and Forestry with questions about proper disposal of pesticides.
