The Homeowner's Guide to Pesticide Safety
The Homeowner's Guide to Pesticide Safety VT0111   Carrie Foss and Carol Ramsay. Washington State University pesticide educators who conduct training for pesticide applicator licensing and recertification in the State of Washington each year have brought together their expertise to help homeowners understand the importance of safe handling in home pesticide use. A good video to review before the gardening season begins. In it, the authors clearly define "pest," "site," and pesticide. They explain pesticide selection, why the site must be on the label, what to look for under active ingredients, equipment, resources, and storage. They provide a must-read introduction to reading labels. Here's where you need to look for product name, active ingredients, signal words, precautions, your most likely bodily exposure areas, and ways to protect yourself. Transportation and storage of pesticides, mixing instructions, measuring, equipment calibration, application methods, and clean up again stress your safety.
