Don't Bo Originol
In Pestieido Storage
In ibis day and age it is
considered a real challenge to
be original. “But don’t try to
be original when storing chem
ical pesticides,’’ cautions David
Shriver, chemical pesticide spe-
cialist at the University of
Maryland. Pesticides are chem
icals used for control of such
pests as moths, mice, dies, gar
den insects, weeds, and dis
eases.
are poisonous,”
says Shriver. “If they weren’t,
they wouldn’t do the job they
are intended to do.” Using
your imagination to find
unique storing places for them
will- only get you, your chil
dren or pets into trouble.
Shriver advises keeping all
pesticides in original contain
ers. Insect spray stored in an
old soda pop bottle, for in
stance, could tempt a small
child. Keep the label on the!
pesticide container. In addition
to giving use instructions, the
label tells what to do in case
of accident.
Never underestimate the
power of a child. Keep pesti
cides up high, out of reach of
children, under lock and key.
Store them away from, cooking
utensils and food in a cool,
dry place.
