• Pesticides must be stored in their original container in a secure cabinet or building. Doors should have sign posted "No Smoking"

• Liquids should be stored beneath dry pesticides on a non-absorbent shelving such as plastic or metal

• Inspect pesticide containers frequently for splits, breaks or leaks and keep labels attached to original container
