Chemical protection means
Warning! Most pesticides are dangerous to human health. Be sure to follow the precautionary measures and adhere to all recommendations( if dosages are not listed, read the instructions carefully).In addition, it is worth remembering some general rules:
• Store chemical protective equipment only in places not accessible to children and pets. With remnants of drugs should be treated with caution, as this is a particularly hazardous waste.
• Do not use plant protection products in the instructions that say "used for open ground".
• Do not forget about self-defense: when using chemicals, wear gloves and try not to fall into your eyes and do not inhale the remedy.
• Do not use in the room the means on which the skull is depicted, as well as those classified according to the degree of danger to the categories marked "T +", which means "extremely toxic" and "T" - "poisonous".
• In extreme cases, you can use drugs with a cross and the notation "X", which means "toxic to a small extent," and "Xi" - "has an irritating effect."
If there are no special signs on the labels or in the instructions, then there are no special restrictions.
These rules apply to new modern drugs, old, semi-handicraft( sometimes they are produced in collective farms) designations may not have. If the drug causes doubts in you, you better abandon it.

For smokers( this is not a joke) there is a special recommendation: most pests can be smoked from the plant if placed under any tight hood and let in more cigarette smoke( to whiteness).In such a "gas vane" the flower should be allowed to stand for several hours, then shake and wash off the dead insects.
