A small power sprayer is the 

 most effective device for applying 

 sprays. You may use a garden-type 

 compressed-air sprayer; but if you 

 are applying a wettable-powder 

 spray, shake the sprayer often to 

 keep the powder in suspension in 

 the spray mixture. 



Sanitation and Management 



Use roosts and nests of the knock- 

 down type for easier cleaning and 

 spraying. 



Eliminate hiding, places of ticks 

 by removing loose boards and rub- 

 bish. 



Do not permit fowls to roost in 

 trees, livestock sheds, and similar 

 unsuitable places. Provide a mod- 

 ern, well-ventilated poultry house 

 and keep it clean. 



The poultry house should be 

 sprayed at least twice a year. 



PRECAUTIONS 



Pesticides used improperly can be 

 injurious to man, animals, and 

 plants. Follow the directions and 

 heed all precautions on the labels. 



Store pesticides in original con- 



tainers under lock and key — out of 

 the reach of children and animals — 

 and away from food and feed. 



Apply pesticides so that they do 

 not endanger humans, livestock, 

 crops, beneficial insects, fish, and 

 wildlife. 



Avoid prolonged inhalation of 

 pesticide sprays or dusts; wear pro- 

 tective clothing and equipment if 

 specified on the container. 



If your hands become contami- 

 nated 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 treat- 

 ment given on the label, and get 

 prompt medical attention. If a pesti- 

 cide is spilled on your skin or cloth- 

 ing, remove clothing immediately 

 and wash skin thoroughly. 



Do not clean spray equipment or 

 dump excess spray material near 

 ponds, streams, or wells. 



Dispose of empty pesticide con- 

 tainers promptly. Have them buried 

 at a sanitary land-fill dump, or 

 crush and bury them in a level, iso- 

 lated place. 



Note: Some States have restric- 

 tions on the use of certain pesticides. 

 Check your State and local regula- 

 tions. Also, because registrations of
