WARNING
Making pesticides is a most dangerous time as it involves handling the concentrated material. For toxic compounds, use
protective clothing such as overalls, hat, gloves, boots and respirator.
When using concentrated sprays, full protection is necessary.
When using diluted sprays, wear at least a hat, long-sleeved cotton overalls and boots. If you use pesticides regularly it
is a good idea to always wear a respirator to avoid cumulative effect ... other protection may be required – check the
label. It may have specific directions for that particular chemical.
Protective clothing should always be properly cared for. Rinse heavily contaminated clothes in the open before washing
in the laundry.
Wash and dry these clothes every day – but keep them separate from other washing.
Respirators need special care ... clean respirator after spraying. Use soapy water then rinse and allow to dry completely
before storing in a clean plastic bag. Replace canisters in respirator after every 8 hours use.
