How should herbicides be stored?

Storing herbicides in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and out of reach of children and pets is crucial for safety and effectiveness. A stable temperature helps maintain the herbicide’s chemical integrity, preventing degradation that can occur when products are exposed to extreme heat or excessive moisture. Storing herbicides away from direct sunlight further protects them from UV rays, which can also break down active ingredients over time.

Additionally, keeping these chemicals out of reach from children and pets is a fundamental safety practice, as herbicides can be toxic if ingested or improperly handled. This approach minimizes the risk of accidental exposure or ingestion, ensuring that both people and animals remain safe in the vicinity of these products. It embodies a responsible and precautionary method of herbicide storage.
