Reported risk: Pesticides can be used for many purposes around the home, including treating pest or weed problems in your yard, sanitizing your pool, or trying to get rid of indoor rodents or creepy crawlers. All pesticides including pool chemicals should be handled with care and always stored out of sight and reach of children and pets. Children and pets should also be kept out of any areas being treated. In 2014, Health Canada received 1884 incident reports related to pesticides. The majority of these relate to exposure by pets (76%) and humans, including children (14%). Most of these incidents that occurred in Canada involved products that can be purchased and used by the general public in and around the home, so it is important to take the necessary steps to help prevent these types of incidents by following Health Canada's advice below.
