What should you do if you suspect a pesticide product is illegally sold in Kentucky?

• A. Use it immediately and hope for the best.
• B. Do not use it and report the product and vendor to the Kentucky Department of Agriculture Pesticide Program.
• C. Sell it to a neighbor.
• D. Return it to the store with a smile.

Answer: (B)

When you suspect a pesticide product is illegally sold, safety and proper regulation demand action: do not use the product. Illegal pesticides may lack proper registration, labeling, and safety instructions, which can lead to improper use, exposure, residue problems, and environmental harm. Report the product and the vendor to the Kentucky Department of Agriculture Pesticide Program so authorities can investigate and take appropriate action. This helps protect people, crops, and the environment and supports enforcement of pesticide laws.
