Immediately after an ornamental pesticide application, place a marker that reads what?

• A. Pesticides have been applied - Please stay out of treated area.
• B. General cautions for ornamentals
• C. Do not enter treated area
• D. Pesticide use in progress

Answer: (A)

After a ornamental pesticide application, posting a warning is essential to protect people and pets from exposure and to enforce the reentry interval. The marker should clearly say that pesticides have been applied and instruct people to stay out of the treated area. The phrasing "Pesticides have been applied - Please stay out of treated area" does exactly that: it communicates that application occurred and gives a direct, actionable instruction to avoid entry, which helps ensure compliance with the label and regulations. Other options are less effective: they’re either too vague, suggest ongoing work instead of a completed application, or don’t explicitly note that a pesticide was used.
