What should I be aware of when using pesticides and herbicides?
Pesticides and herbicides can wash or be blown by the wind into the storm drain system where they are hazardous to aquatic life.

Always be sure to use garden chemicals according to label instructions. Never use garden chemical when rain is forecast for the next 24 hours. If at all possible, consider organic gardening methods.
