Do it yourself pest control labels and MSDSn

All pest control products (pesticides) that World of Pest Control sells, come with a manufacturers label. This label
will explain everything you need to know about the product your using. We recommend that you read the entire
label before purchasing and using any product. Below we've explained what each section of the label is for. If you
or any member of your family has a sensitivity to chemicals or there odors, we recommend that you
consult with your family doctor before using any pest control product. For your convenience we have
also provided downloadable MSDS sheets that you may bring to your doctor.

Signal Word
On the front of a product you will always find one of three "signal words", which represent the potential harm to
people, pets, and the environment, even when the pest control product is used properly. These three signal words
are: Caution - All pest control products that are slightly toxic if eaten, breathed, or absorbed through the skin, or
that may cause slight skin or eye irritation. Even the least toxic pesticide has to at least carry the Caution signal.
Warning - All pest control products that are moderately toxic if eaten, breathed, absorbed through the skin or
that cause moderate eye and skin irritation. Pest control products carrying the Warning signal normally require
only a teaspoon to a tablespoonful of the undiluted product, eaten to kill an average-sized adult.
Danger - All products that carry the Danger signal must also have the word "Poison" as well as the skull and
crossbones design on the front. Only a taste to a teaspoon of this undiluted pesticide may kill the average sized
adult. You must have a license to purchase these types of products. If you are a professional applicator and need
any restricted use pesticides, you must contact our office directly, as our on line store does not advertise these
types of products.
