*Put food and trash away in closed containers to keep pests from coming into your home.
*Don’t use pesticides if you don’t have to - look for alternatives.
*Read product labels and follow directions.
*Use bait & traps instead of bug sprays when you can and put where kids can’t get them.
*Store where kids can’t reach them and never put in other containers that kids can mistake for food or drink.
*Keep children, toys & pets away when using pesticides and don’t let them play in fields, orchards and gardens after pesticides have been used.
