Pesticide Containers and Hygiene
- If you use sachets - dispose of them carefully.
- If you must recycle pesticide bottles: rinse at least 3 times before disposal. If possible, use the water for rinsing in the next spray tank load.
- Never use your mouth to clean nozzles… or to prime your sprayer
- Never eat, drink or smoke while spraying. After spraying: - clean out the sprayer first - then wash yourself and your clothes, but…
- Never dispose of washing water near water sources (use waste ground or discard beneath the cocoa crop, away from children and animals).
