What can I do to help make
sure pesticides are being used
safely?
There are several things you can
to do help ensure that pesticides
are being used correctly. Here
are some suggestions:
-Check to make sure that
anyone who comes to your home to
apply pesticides has a license to
do so. License checks can be
made on our web site:

-Talk to your parents about
pesticides and remind them to
keep them out of the hands of
children.
-If you see any misuse of
pesticides, report it to the proper
authority. The telephone number
to call is on the back of this
brochure.
Pesticides are used everyday
to help control pests. Using
pesticides is not always the best
solution to help control pests.
However, sometimes it is
necessary to use pesticides. It is
very important that pesticides
are used correctly and only by
people who are trained to do so.
