No one intends to spill pesticides, fertilizer or diesel fuel, but accidents happen. Being prepared and taking quick action can make a huge difference in protecting one’s property.
“If you have a spill, your quick actions during the first few minutes can make a difference in the spill being contained or entering the waters of the state,” says Fred Whitford, a Purdue University Extension specialist and director of Purdue Pesticide Programs. “If you can contain the spill and keep it out of water, then cleanup becomes easier and cheaper.”
