Issue
Have insects or rodents invaded your home? Is your lawn or garden being destroyed by pests? If you choose to use a pesticide to deal with a pest problem, make sure to follow Health Canada's advice on how to use, store and dispose of pesticides safely. Every year, Health Canada receives reports of Canadians becoming ill from pesticide exposure as a result of improper use. To reduce the risks to yourself, your family and the environment, always read and follow the directions and warnings on the product's label or hire a licensed pest control operator.
What you should do
- Only purchase and use pesticides that have been registered by Health Canada for their intended use.
- Carefully read all label instructions and warnings before buying or using pesticides.
- Only buy the amount of the product needed for the treatment.
- Use a pesticide only for its stated purpose. For example, never use a pesticide indoors when it is intended for outdoor use.
- Never mix different pesticides together, unless the instructions tell you to do so.
