Tens of thousands of pesticide poisonings are reported each year. Many of these could have been prevented by following a few simple steps.
Tips on preventing pesticide poisoning:
Store pesticides in locked cabinets, out of the reach of children and pets. An EPA survey showed that almost half (47%) of households with young children and 75% of homes without young children had pesticides stored in unlocked cabinets within reach of children.
Keep children and pets away from areas being treated with pesticides. Make sure the products are safely out of reach while they are being applied.
Close pesticide containers immediately after their use to avoid accidental spills.
Never mix or store pesticides in food or drink containers.

During the summer JP McHale’s Outreach Committee held a local clothing and coat drive. All of the items that were donated were then given to local church to help those in need.

The National Pesticide Information Center says that some products you might not consider pesticides including chlorine bleach, disinfectants, rat poisons, mothballs, flea and tick products, swimming pool chemicals, weed killers, and insect repellants. Too often pesticides are stored or used carelessly, which can lead to accidents.
