If at all possible, use natural pest control methods, but when a commercial pesticide is necessary, follow all label directions carefully and never over use. When improperly used or discarded, these products are a threat to public health and the environment. Never pour hazardous products down any drain or toilet. Do not discard with regular household trash. Use natural and less toxic alternatives whenever possible.
Motor oil contains toxic chemicals that are harmful to humans, pets, wildlife and fish.
Never dump used motor oil down a storm drain or on the ground. Recycle all used motor oil by taking it to a service station or local recycling center. Pet owners should pick up after their pets and dispose of the wastes in the garbage or toilet. Livestock owners should work with their local Soil and Water Conservation District Office to develop a manure management plan. Avoid adding unnecessary grease and solids to your septic system.
