					 29.41(3)(b) shall contain the
					 following information, printed verbatim:
PESTICIDE INFORMATION SHEET
BEFORE YOU USE A PESTICIDE:
* Read the pesticide label. It is a violation of state and
					 federal law to use a pesticide contrary to label directions.
* Is the pesticide labeled for the use you intend? If not,
					 don't use it.
* What type of protective clothing or equipment is
					 required?
* What type of application equipment is needed?
* Are weather conditions right for the pesticide
					 application?
* Buy only the amount of pesticide you need. Pesticides
					 stored for a long time may be less effective, and may pose an environmental or
					 safety hazard.
* Mix only as much pesticide solution as you need. It is
					 better to underestimate than overestimate.
WHEN USING A PESTICIDE:
* Wear all protective clothing and equipment required by
					 the label.
* At a minimum, wear a long sleeve shirt, long pants,
					 socks and shoes.
* Do not wear clothing made of cotton or leather. It may
					 absorb pesticides and be difficult to clean.
* Do not apply on windy or rainy days when pesticides may
					 drift or be washed from the application site. Stand up wind when mixing and
					 applying pesticides.
* Keep children and pets away from the treated area. Keep
					 them away for the time shown on the pesticide label.
* Do not apply pesticides at more than the label rate.
AFTER USING A PESTICIDE:
* Wash your hands with soap and water immediately. Shower
					 as soon as possible.
* Wash all clothing. Wash it separately from other
					 household laundry. Use a heavy duty detergent and hot water.
* If you apply pesticides to a food crop, wait for the
					 time required on the pesticide label before harvesting the crop.
* Keep pesticide measuring tools separate from household
					 and kitchen tools.
* Store pesticides in their original containers. Do not
					 store dilute pesticide solutions in unmarked containers.
* Keep pesticides away from food, feed, seed and
					 fertilizer, and out of the reach of children and pets.
* Dispose of empty pesticide containers according to label
					 directions.
WARNING SIGNS AT APPLICATION SITES:
* Commercial pesticide applicators must post warning signs
					 at landscape application sites.
* Homeowners who make their own landscape applications are
					 not required to post warning signs, but are encouraged to do so.
* You may obtain warning signs from the pesticide
					 retailer.
* It is a good idea to post at least one sign on each side
					 of the application site, and at common entry points (near sidewalks, driveways,
					 etc.).
FOR MORE INFORMATION:
* You can get more pesticide information from your county
					 extension agent.
* You can get information about pesticide laws by calling
					 the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection at (608)
					 224-LAWN.
