Have An Escape Plan
I he National lir e Protection Association suggests these points in

between a trageds and getting everyone out safely. Right now, think
how your fam ily can escape from each room
especially the
bedrooms at night
p la n
now—
(1 ) ( urefully figure out ul least l i e n routes lo Ihe outside from
every room in Ihe house. Remember, lire mils block usual stairway
or hull exits.
(2 ) I root upper floors, use porch ¡tod garage roofs, ladders or

i hoose the right spras pattern
An adjustable nozzle provides a
cone-spray pattern with fine mist
for close-up applications and a
coarser, heavy spray for long-
range applications.
Spray or dust at the right time
Generally, the best time to spras
is before the heat of the day
Avoid spraying on hot. windy
days. Dust is most effectively
applied either in the morning or
evening when ihe air is still and
moisture tdewi on the plant
makes the dust stick better
With the right applicator, you
can apply mixtures in a coni roiled
way effectively, a n j economi­
cally And ihe results can makea
beautiful difference in your lawn
and garden
