Always apply pesticides responsibly

Read and follow the full safety precautions and instructions found in the pesticide's label—it is unlawful to apply any pesticide in a manner inconsistent with its label.
Always wear gloves (included), long sleeves/pants, and closed-toed shoes when applying any pesticide.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing.
Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling.
Don't apply to food or places that are likely to contact food.

Protect honey bees and other pollinators

Bees keep our flowers blooming and our crops healthy. To minimize the risk to these benefical pollinators, do not apply pesticides when bees are foraging.
Do not apply to plants that are flowering, shedding pollen, or producing nectar.
Do not allow the pesticide to drift onto beehives, nearby blooming plants, or other places that may be attractive to bees.

Keep pesticides out of water sources

Do not apply when it's windy or rain is expected in the next 24 hours. This helps protect the water table and aquatic life.
Keep pesticides out of our water sources by not applying near storm drains or any other sources of water.
Never dump any pesticide down any drain.
