F ollow in g winter and several months o f yard neglect, many Oregonians are anxious to emerge from hibernation armed with the tools to reestablish healthy lawns and gardens. Among the tools: pesticides. Home-use pesticides are im portant and often necessary in the battle against unwanted plant pests and diseases. Provided that they are handled properly, pesticide products are valuable tools for the homeowner. “This is the time o f the year when people get out in their yard ,” sa y s D ale M itc h e ll, assistan t administrator o f the Oregon Department o f Agriculture’s Pesticide Division. “We want to make sure that if they have a pest problem and they are going to treat it themselves with a pesticide product, that they use those pesticides wisely and safely.” Whether it is applying weed killer, slug bait, or bug spray, it’s always best to start by taking some time to think about what has to be done before you actually do it. Too many people rush out to prepare their yard and garden without a plan. “N um ber one, identify the pest that is the problem ,” says M itchell. County extension offices, ODA’s Plant Division, or even your local library all have resources to help you figure out what pest is literally bugging you. That’s important because each pesticide product lists the specific insects it is designed to control. The product label clea rly states w hat the pesticide is to be used for. M uch of the homework can and should be done before purchasing the product. The most important source o f information is the product label itself. “We stron gly advocate three steps,” says Mitchell. “Read the label, read the label and read the label.” The label tells you not only what pests the product takes care of, but it gives you special precautions. It spells out what steps you need to take to protect yourself and others during application. Mitchell says it’s very important to read the label even before you buy the product so you understand if it is the correct pesticide for you and how best to use it. After the purchase comes the application. Once again, reading the label will guide you through the proper m ethod o f h an d lin g the pesticide. It tells you how to m ix the product. S om e products may be already mixed but most need to be diluted before application. The label also tells you when to apply the product. Som e p e stic id e s require dry conditions, others do fine even if it rains afterwards. The label emphasizes the importance o f keeping children and pets away from the material during mixing and application. Once the pesticide has been applied, it’s time for storage or disposal o f the unused product. Where can you find information on storage and disposal? You guessed it, the product label. The Oregon Department o f Environmental Quality is another source, especially when it comes to pesticide disposal. “As far as the storage o f pesticides, store them in the original container in a safe, dry location that is out o f reach o f children," says Mitchell.
