Handling Pesticides & Safety - Pesticide labels are the law
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
The label that's on all pesticide containers has been written in a language that everybody
should be able to understand and use. The pesticide label is the law. Anytime that you
use a pesticide the uses for that pesticide are laid out in detail how much you use of
the chemical to 100 square feet or to use in your mixtures. It's all laid out on the
label. Any use of the pesticide beyond what is labeled, written on the label, is a violation
of federal law. And you not only put yourself and others at risk but it is dangerous. You
can even be held liable for an incident involving the pesticide, which you may have used in
a non label manner.
