Herbicide Safety Precautions

• Always read the herbicide label to determine recommended handling precautions.
• Avoid inhaling sprays or dusts.
• If herbicides are spilled on the skin, wash the contaminated skin thoroughly with soap and water.
• Do not spray with equipment that has loose hoses or connections.
• Mix and use only the amount of herbicide that is necessary to treat the lawn.
• Always store the herbicides in the original container.
• Herbicides should be placed in dry areas that are protected from freezing temperatures.
• Herbicides should be out of reach of children, pets and livestock.
