After handling a pesticide, do not 

 eat, drink, or smoke until you have 

 washed. In case a pesticide is swal- 

 lowed or gets in the eyes, follow the 

 first aid treatment given on the 

 label, and get prompt medical atten- 

 tion. If a pesticide is spilled on your 

 skin or clothing, remove cloth- 

 ing immediately and wash skin 

 thoroughly. 



Dispose of empty pesticide con- 

 tainers by wrapping them in sev- 

 eral layers of newspaper and plac- 

 ing them in your trash can. 



It is difficult to remove all traces 

 of a herbicide (weed killer) from 

 equipment. Therefore, to prevent 

 injury to desirable plants do not use 

 the same equipment for insecticides 

 and fungicides that you use for a 

 herbicide. 



NOTE : Eegistrations of pesti- 

 cides are under constant review by 

 the U.S. Department of Agricul- 

 ture. Use only pesticides that bear 

 the USDA registration number and 

 carry directions for home and 

 garden use.
