Detailed explanation-1: -Store the pesticides away from house premises. Keep pesticides in original containers. Pesticides/weedicides must be stored separately.
Detailed explanation-2: -Herbicides should not be stored together with insecticides or other pesticides such as rodenticides and fungicides (Figure 7) so that those that are not poisonous to humans are not contaminated by hazardous chemicals.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most pesticides have an indicated shelf-life of at least two years from the time of manufacture, but shelf-life will be shortened if pesticides are not stored properly (e.g. if they are stored at high temperatures).
Detailed explanation-4: -Where to Store Pesticides. Store pesticides out of reach of children and pets. If possible, keep pesticides in a locked cabinet in a well-ventilated utility area or garden shed. Never store pesticides in cabinets with or near food, animal feed, or medical supplies.
