People and livestock in the vicinity of a pesticide fire may have to be evacuated. Keep a copy of the label and Material Safety Data Sheet for each stored pesticide in a separate location. Read these ahead of time to help you determine the necessary pesticide storage and handling procedures. The information given in Table 11 is for general planning only. Read the label to find special storage considerations for each product.
Store herbicides separately from other pesticides to avoid contamination.
In general, liquid formulations are more susceptible to freezing damage than dry formulations. An improperly disposed product can be hazardous to people and the environment. The rinse material should be poured into the spray tank. Triple-rinsed containers are considered nonhazardous and should be disposed of by following state recommendations. Before throwing out containers that held powders or granular pesticides, be sure that all material has been removed from the containers.
