Wash pesticides off skin promptly with plenty of soap and water and remove contaminated clothing immediately. Clean all measuring and mixing equipment after use. Safely discard all contaminated absorbent materials with the household trash. To prevent drift, avoid applying pesticides, especially sprays, on windy days. Also, never eat, drink or smoke while applying them.
Spot treat target pests directly rather than spreading pesticides over large areas.
Do not leave pesticide containers unattended while applying pesticides. Use separate equipment to apply insecticides and herbicides. If label instructions allow, apply pesticides in the evening to avoid harming beneficial and pollinating insects. After handling pesticides, wash the application equipment, protective equipment and yourself thoroughly. Wash contaminated clothing separately from other laundry.
