abrasion resistance. Gloves should not have
fabric wristbands or lining and should fit
properly. Always wash the glove inside and
out after use. Leather gloves are not suitable.
Footwear - Non-absorbent footwear should
be worn when applying pesticides. It is
suggested that the most suitable boot is one
that is knee length, acid and solvent
resistant, and ribbed to prevent slippage.
Neoprene is considered superior to rubber.
Leather boots are not suitable.
Clothing - For general protection, coveralls
should be worn along with gloves and a hat
to minimize the hazard of the skin absorbing
pesticides. Clothing should be changed and
washed regularly following spraying. You can
now purchase disposable clothing that
provides protection against exposure
resulting from pesticide drift, splashing, or
spills. These garments (overalls, shirts and
pants, head cover, and aprons) are light
weight and cooler than rubber articles.
Protective equipment and clothing are
available from safety supply companies.
Never use leather garments (e.g., jackets,
gloves, or shoes) during the handling or
application of pesticides. Leather can absorb
chemicals, and it is very difficult to
decontaminate leather articles.
Dilution
Pest control is dependent upon the
application of minute amounts of a toxic
substance. This process starts with the
proper mixing of the toxic material with water.
It is very important that the operator reads
the mixing and dilution instructions on the
chemical container before starting. Combine
the chemical and water in the proportions
recommended on the container only.
Improper mixing can damage the crops or
not affect the pests.
Storage
Only use the quantity of chemical product(s)
required for the job.
Store chemicals only in their original
containers under lock and key to prevent
children or animals from touching them.
Be very careful to wear the proper protective
gear such as rubber gloves and goggles to
protect yourself. Thoroughly wash all
protective gear with a good detergent after
use to remove all chemicals.
Never allow chemicals or solutions to touch
the skin. Some can be absorbed through the
skin. Should such a contact occur, flush the
affected area immediately with clear water.
Wash the area thoroughly with detergent to
remove any residue.
When spraying is done, the machine should
always be rinsed. Follow this procedure:
1. Add 25 to 50 gallons of water to the
main tank after the chemical solution
has been spent or drained.
2. Run the pump, wash circuit, and
agitator for 5 minutes to circulate and
rinse the inside of the tank.
3. Spray the rinse thinly over the
previously sprayed field.
When spraying is finished for the season or
when switching chemicals, wash the sprayer
thoroughly.

WARNING: Do not dispose of
chemicals in the farmyard or in
drainage ditches.
