QUESTION:
Do you know if there is an established or emerging color coding standard in the pest control industry that communicates to the applicator what type of chemical is in the tank? I once worked for a large pest control company in California and about 10 years ago they started slowly changing all their Insecticide/Termiticide rigs over to having a blue hose. I purchased a “Non-repellent” 1 gallon hand pump sprayer by B&G Equipment company which was colored with blue. And there are other examples I have seen relating to non-selective herbicides, pre-emergent herbicides & repellent insecticides.
Thanks for all you do Mr. Pest Control.
I LOVE UNIVAR!
ANSWER:
Well Jacob, it’s likely to look like we’ve planted some fans out there, but thank you very much for the compliment. I have to say that I “love” Univar as well, and that is why I have been with this same company for 35 years. I appreciate the ethics and organization of my employer and the various people I have worked for.
