This manual was prepared to help train people who sell pesticides to domestic pesticide users.
Domestic users are people who buy pesticides for use in their own yards, gardens and homes.
They often do not know how to identify and manage pests or how to mix and apply pesticides. Therefore, the emphasis in this manual is on providing dispensers with information they need to advise customers on how to manage pests as well as on safe pesticide use. This manual is also intended to be used as a reference book for home and garden pest management. It should serve as a guide for both dispensers and customers. Vendor outlets are encouraged to display this manual in a handy location so that customers can use it as a reference.
