SAFETY RULES for Integrated Pest Management
- Do not handle trapped or dead rodents & cockroaches with bare hands
- Dispose dead rodents within 24 hours, by burying them of sealing them in plastic bags and putting them in trash
- For anticoagulant rodenticides, Vitamin K is used as antidote, although in cases of severe poisoning, whole blood transfusion is also utilized.
- Refer to authorized pest control technician when planning to apply any pesticide
- Do not place bug zappers on porches, patios or within 100 feet of the outside areas of homes or buildings. This should attract flying insects away from the house and not to it. Electrical bug zappers will cause the insect to explode releasing body parts into the air and surrounding areas.
