Detailed explanation-1: -Pesticides should be disposed of by your PCO. If you must store pesticides onsite follow these guidelines: Keep pesticides in their original containers. Keep them in a secure location away from food and equipment used to prepare food. Keep a copy of each pesticide’s MSDS.
Detailed explanation-2: -Change clothes and wash your hands immediately after applying pesticides. Before applying a pesticide (indoors or outdoors), remove children, toys and pets from the area and keep them away until the pesticide has dried or as recommended by the label.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
Detailed explanation-4: -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).
