All pesticides should be stored under lock and key away from feed, seed, clothing, or other articles. All highly toxic products should be stored together in a specially marked area. Pesticide storage areas should be well lighted and well ventilated and temperatures should not go below freezing, especially for liquids. Warning signs should be posted at all entrances. Store products in their original containers with their label in plain sight.
Store pesticides off the floor if they can be damaged by dampness.
Granular insecticides need special attention. If not properly stored, they may be accidentally fed to livestock with tragic results. When in doubt, read the storage precautions on a product label. Seed carried over from one year to the next should be watched closely for signs of insect activity. Refer to label for crop recommendations and restrictions.
