Don't mix spray materials unless you are a chemist.

Don't use liquid sprays without keeping a uniform solution by means of

agitating the liquid.

approved by an entomologist.

Don't spray exhibition plants or flowers with a discolouring spray.Don't neglect to watch the wind when spraying; it may blow poison

into someone's face and eyes or over a painted 01 varnished surface
