The Division of Environmental Quality wants the community to be mindful of health and safety regulations when applying pesticides at home, in the garden, or at your farm area. <\/p>\n
A pesticide is any substance used to control pests. Pests may be target insects, vegetation, fungi, etc. Most control the pests by poisoning them. Unfortunately, pesticides can be poisonous to humans; some are very poisonous, or toxic, and may seriously injure or even kill humans. Others are relatively non-toxic. <\/p>\n
TIPS: <\/p>\n
1. Read the label. Follow directions for use, storage and disposal, and personal protective equipment guidelines. <\/p>\n
2. Plan your application. Prepare correct amount, not more. Notify others when and where you will be applying. <\/p>\n
3. Be Responsible. Do not use more than you need. Do not apply when there is wind or when rain is imminent. [B][I](DEQ)[\/I][\/B]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
