What type of pesticides must be posted in New Jersey storage locations?

In New Jersey, restricted use pesticides require specific regulatory oversight due to their potential risks to human health and the environment. These pesticides are classified as such because they are only to be used by certified applicators or under their direct supervision. As a safety measure, storage locations for these substances must be properly posted to inform individuals of the presence of these potentially hazardous materials. This posting is an important step in ensuring safety and compliance with state regulations, helping prevent accidental exposure and misuse.

In contrast, general use pesticides, while still requiring certain precautions, do not have the same level of restrictions as restricted use pesticides and therefore do not necessitate the same posting requirements. Environmental pesticides focus more on their impact on ecosystems rather than their handling practices, and household pesticides are typically low-risk materials that are commonly used in home settings, hence not requiring specialized posting protocols.
