Use pesticides carefully Winter is over, spring is in the sir, and your lawn looks like it could use a little help this sesson. Wild weeds, pest insects and fungal diseases can all cause your lawn to look unattractive. The use of pesticide can help control many lawn pests. But pesticides have risks as well as benefits, and it' is important to use them properly. Pesticides include insecticides, herbicides and Aingicidcs. All cides are toxic to some degree, can pose some risk to you, your i dren and pets, and to any wildlife that venture onto your lawn especially if these chemicals are overused or carelessly applied. Before using any pesticide, the Better Business Bureau, along with the Environmental Protection PAWS ACTI VIT- Y- Brent Draper from the NRCS talked to Gloria Jones of Myton Elementary about water.

Use only the amount directed, at the time and under conditions specified. Be sure to wear protective clothing - like gloves, long sleeves, and long pants, and wash the clothing separately before using it again. Keep children and pets away from pesticides, and make sure no one goes on a treated lawn for at least the time prescribed by the pesticide label Remember to follow any state or local requirements for posting your treated bore tl plied. Store and dispose ofpectiddes properly, according tothe label directions and any state and local regulations. 2.- ) Use pesticides to minimize pests, not eradicate them. The latter is often impossible and unnecessary. 3.- ) Be sureyou have accurately identified the pest so you can choose the best pesticide for the Job and use it effectively. Obtain professional advice from your county extension agent or a local expert. 4.- ) Spot treat whenever possible.
