When applying pesticides, what is illegal to do according to label specifications?

Using a higher concentration than labeled is illegal according to label specifications because pesticide labels are designed to ensure both the safety and effectiveness of the product. The labeled concentration is determined based on extensive research and testing to achieve optimal pest control while minimizing risks to human health, non-target organisms, and the environment. Exceeding the labeled concentration can lead to potential harm, including pesticide resistance in pests, increased toxicity to humans and wildlife, and environmental pollution. Compliance with label specifications is not only a legal requirement but also an ethical responsibility for pest control technicians to ensure safe and responsible use of chemical products.

Mixing with water, following the instructions exactly, and applying at recommended intervals are typically part of the correct application practices, adhering to label specifications that guide safe usage and effective pest management.
