Avoid any direct contact with spraying
agents . In case of contact with sprays,
immediately rinse the affected parts of
the body with plenty of clean water . Seek
medical advice if needed .
Keep children, pets and toys (including pet
toys) away from areas where you mix and
apply pesticides for at least the length of
time required on the spraying agent's label .
If no time is listed on the label, wait until the
pesticides have dried before re-entering the
area .
Store the spraying agents out of the reach
of children and pets, in a locked cabinet or
garden shed . Installing child-proof safety
latches or padlocks on cupboards and
cabinets is a good idea . Safety latches are
available at your local hardware store .
Teach children that "pesticides are
poisons" – something they should never
touch or eat .
