This information has been adapted from a publication by OMAFRA (the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs). This information does not completely prepare you for proper pesticide use. Please follow the specific directions outlined by the governing body in your province and on the labels of pesticide containers.

* 3M Canada manufactures respirators that will meet these requirements. Because respirator choice varies with application, recommendations are not made in the Choose a Respirator portion of this site.
