Chemical Precautions
When you use chemicals, always read and follow the label directions. The label on a container of pesticide was put there to protect you and the environment. It outlines safety practices you must follow when using or storing chemicals. If you don't understand something on the label, go back to where you purchased the product or call your county extension office for help. Don't forget to think about whether you really need a pesticide before you use it.
