True or False: It is recommended to store liquid pesticide formulations in the passenger area of a vehicle to stop spills quickly.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not specified
• D. Only for certain pesticides

Answer: (B)

Storing liquid pesticide formulations in the passenger area is not recommended because the passenger space is not designed to contain spills or leaks, so a container failure or splash can expose people in the vehicle, contaminate clothing and surfaces, and create a difficult cleanup. The safer approach is to keep pesticides in their original labeled containers stored in a locked, dry, cool, well-ventilated storage area away from food, pets, and living spaces, and to transport them in a closed, secured cargo area rather than the passenger compartment. This guidance applies broadly to most pesticides, not just certain ones.
