Treat only the kinds of plants or sites listed on the label. Be sure to read and follow all label directions. For instance, some lawn pesticide labels may tell you to cut the lawn first, or to water in the product after application. The label may tell you not to apply to certain turf grasses, or not to apply if turf is drought-stressed. Clean up your application equipment and yourself immediately after you have finished applying the pesticide.
Store pesticides away from children.
Do not store them where they could contaminate food, feeds and seeds, or water. Follow the label directions for time to harvest of food plants, and for reentry or reuse of treated areas or surfaces. The pesticide label may tell you to keep children or pets out of the treated area until the spray dries, or for 24 hours, or give other similar instructions. Some indoor pesticide labels tell you to keep a room or building closed for a period of time after treatment. Some other indoor pesticide labels may tell you to ventilate a treated room or building before it is used again.
