Should labels be removed from pesticide containers to keep them clean and legible?

Pesticide labels are a critical source of information for safe handling, application, and storage. Keeping the label on the container ensures that all necessary instructions, warnings, and information about the product are easily accessible when needed. Labels contain important details such as the product name, active ingredients, directions for use, and safety precautions. Removing them can lead to misuse or accidents due to a lack of necessary information, which can be hazardous not only to the applicator but also to the environment.

While the choice suggests the importance of cleanliness and legibility, maintaining the integrity of the label is prioritized to ensure ongoing access to safety and usage information. Regulatory agencies and best practices emphasize the importance of having labels affixed properly and being kept legible over maintaining the appearance of the container.
