Steps
- Find the professional product. Simply ask a professional what product they use, if they have an MSDS sheet, and/or what is the active ingredient.
- Read the label. Professional products carry very specific instructions. The label will explain what the product is for, how to dilute the product for each use, and the cautions that you take. The label will be divided up into sections. Pay attention to each section.
- Warning Section of the Label- At the top is usually the warning section and the toxicity label. This section will give you precautions that should be taken, like "wear gloves"
- First Aid Section- You will find a section on health risks and treatments to dangerous exposures.
- How to Use- You will also find a section on "use" or "instructions". This section should provide you with a dilution rate or ration if it is a concentrate. It will also provide different rates depending on use and equipment.
- Know that if the Label is too complex then seek additional help or DO NOT USE.
- Store the professional product in a safe place away from children and pets and in the proper temperature range. The label will also provide you with storage temperatures and explosive or flammable temperatures if applicable.
Tips
- If you purchase your do-it-yourself products online then make sure there is a phone number for someone to talk to.
- A good do-it-yourself website will provide you with the label and the MSDS.
- Find other advice on the product and how to use it online.
Warnings
- READ THE LABEL FOR ALL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS. Pest control products, weed control products, chemicals for pools, and many other professional products may be hazardous to your health. The label will indicate the precautions to take.
