This is an excellent chance to find out exactly what is in all this stuff we are spraying and how it can effect the environment, animals, plants, and people! Always read the warning lables on everything you use!
You should always read the labels on anything you use. Some of the pesticides sold can contaminate well water, kill small animals, make your pets and children sick and make you sick. Always read your warning labels before using any chemicals, even “weed killer’.
