Herbicides are purchased at a local dealer and only stored for a few weeks per year in the pesticide storage shed, thus containers are new and labels are complete and easily read. The pesticide storage shed has a gravel floor and is kept locked because of recent thefts in the area. When mixing pesticides, the hose is kept outside the tank and all operations are supervised continuously. Plastic containers of pesticides are brought from the pesticide storage shed and hand poured into the sprayer tank. The tank is designed so pesticides can be easily poured into it.
Containers are triple rinsed and returned to the pesticide supplier.
