In many cases, additional information on description of the pests, their damage, their life cycles, and their control may be desired. If your problem goes beyond the scope of this discussion, you can get additional help from your county Cooperative Extension agent or from the Department of Entomology or Plant Pathology, Washington State University, Pullman. Remember, not all insects are pests. Many are either beneficial or harmless. Be sure you have a real problem before you employ pesticides.
Pesticides can be poisonous to people and animals.
Use them only when needed and handle them with care. Follow the directions and heed all precautions on the label. Keep pesticides in closed, well-labeled containers in a dry place. Store them where they will not contaminate food or feed, and preferably in locked storage where children and animals cannot reach them. Avoid contact with pesticides.
