Keep children, pets and toys
(including pet toys) away from
areas where you mix and apply
pesticides for at least the length of
time required on the spraying agent's
label. If no time is listed on the label,
wait until the pesticides have dried
before re-entering the area.
Store the spraying agents out of
the reach of children and pets, in
a locked cabinet or garden shed.
Installing child-proof safety latches
or padlocks on cupboards and
cabinets is a good idea. Safety
latches are available at your local
hardware store.
Teach children that "pesticides are
poisons" something they should
never touch or eat.
