PESTICIDE PRECAUTIOmRY STATEMENT 



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 containers — out of reach of children and pets — and 

 away from foodstuff. 



Apply pesticides selectively and carefully. Do not apply a pesticide when there is 

 danger of drift to other areas. Avoid prolonged inhalation of a pesticide spray or 

 dust. When applying a pesticide it is advisable that you be fully clothed. 



After handling a pesticide, do not eat, drink, or smoke 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 the pesticide is spilled on 

 your skin or clothing, remove clothing immediately and wash skLn thoroughly. 



Dispose of empty pesticide containers by wrapping them in several layers of news- 

 paper and placing 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: Registrations of pesticides are under constant review by the U. S. Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture. Use only pesticides that bear the USDA registration number 

 and carry directions for home and garden use.
