Pesticide Storage & Disposal


Precautions in Storing Pesticides

  • Read and follow label instructions when using and storing any pesticides.

  • Pesticides with label signal words such as "caution", "warning", or "danger" require secure storage out of reach of children. All pesticides with signal words "danger/poison" must be stored in a secure, locked, and labeled facility.

  • Take all reasonable measures to prevent unauthorized entry or theft of pesticides and fertilizers.
