Labels and local rules still apply
Only use products labeled for the pest and exact site; food-handling areas have additional label restrictions.
PestDeck does not publish pesticide mixing recipes or off-label treatment instructions. EPA registration and the complete product label govern pesticide use; professional licensing and wildlife rules can vary by state and locality.

Children & pets
Keep products, baits and treated areas inaccessible as the label directs. Never assume a product is pet- or child-safe because it is sold for home use.
Pollinators & wildlife
Avoid unnecessary broad treatment. Follow label restrictions intended to protect bees, wildlife and other non-target organisms.
Water
Do not dump pesticide into sinks, toilets, storm drains or natural water. Follow label and local disposal directions.
The label is the rule
Use only for labeled pests, sites and application methods. Do not improvise concentrations, mixtures or indoor uses.
