What should you do with a mixed solution when rinsing a pesticide container?

When rinsing a pesticide container, draining the mixed solution for 30 seconds into a spray tank is the appropriate action. This practice is part of the proper rinsing technique known as the "triple rinse" or "triple rinse with a refill" method. It ensures that residual pesticide is effectively removed from the container, minimizing waste and potential environmental contamination.

By transferring the mixed solution into the spray tank, you can utilize the remaining product safely, following the manufacturer's recommendations and application guidelines. This not only ensures efficacy but also aligns with best practices for responsible pesticide use, aiding in compliance with regulatory requirements. It is considered an environmentally responsible option because it reduces the risk of unintended chemical release into the environment while ensuring that the applied pesticide is used as intended.
