General procedures include:

1.Control the spill by stopping the source of the spill. If the source of the spill is a container leak, place the leaking container in a larger, watertight container. Keep unprotected people away from the spill site.

2.Contain the spill so that it does not spread and get into water sources. Use a shovel or other tool to make a dike around the spill with soil, sod, or absorbent material.

3.Clean up the spill immediately -- Absorbent materials like ground corncobs or pet litter should be spread on the spill area to soak up the pesticide. The contaminated material should then shoveled into a leakproof container. Do not flush the spill area with water until you receive advice as directed below.

4.Seek additional advice from the chemical manufacturer and your state’s pesticide regulatory agency regarding decontamination of the spill site:

-Chemicalmanufacturer. The chemical label provides contact information for the chemical manufacturer.

-State pesticide regulatory agency. In the U.S., call the National Pesticide Information Center at 1-800-858-7378 for assistance in determining how to contact your state’s pesticide regulatory agency.
