Is it acceptable to give a customer some of your tank mix in an empty glass jar as long as you provide a warning?

Providing a customer with any amount of pesticide product, even in an empty glass jar, is not acceptable. This practice poses significant risks for both safety and liability. Pesticides are regulated substances and should be handled in accordance with strict guidelines to ensure they are used safely and effectively. Giving a customer a tank mix can lead to misuse, accidental ingestion, or unintended exposure, particularly if the customer is not fully aware of the hazards or proper handling methods associated with the pesticide.

Regulations often dictate that pesticides must be applied by a licensed applicator and cannot be transferred to unapproved containers, even if the customer is warned about potential dangers. The liability of any harm caused by improper use would likely fall on the applicator. Therefore, following proper protocols for handling and applying pesticides is crucial to maintain safety for both the applicator and the public.
