Using Pesticides In Your Home

Posted on April 8, 2017

Some people want to try to rectify a pest situation on their own before jumping to hire an expert to do the job. When using pesticides, be sure to follow the safety instructions and use as directed.

Keep pets and children away from areas where pesticides have been applied.
After preventive steps have been taken, you can use baits as a first line of chemical defense against insects or rodents.
- These are often effective and can be used with low risk of exposure to the pesticide, as long as they are kept out of the reach of children and pets.
Pesticides not contained in baits or traps should generally only be applied to targeted locations, not sprayed over the whole room.
Use fogging devices only when absolutely necessary.
Always read and follow the pesticide label’s instructions and safety warnings.
Use ready-to-use products (i.e., no mixing needed) whenever possible.
Only apply chemicals approved for use in homes.
- The label will list where the chemical may be used.
