¿Utilizas Tres Pasitos, tiza insecticida o productos similares en tu hogar? Si los utilizas, tú y tu familia pudieran estar en peligro. Do you use Tres Pasitos, insecticide chalk or similar products in your home?
Soy Willie Colón con un mensaje importante de la EPA. If so, you and your family could be in danger.
El uso incorrecto de insecticidas envenena a miles de personas cada año. I'm Willie Colon with an important message from EPA.
Insecticidas vendidos ilegalmente en la calle pueden ser demasiado tóxicos para el uso en el hogar. The incorrect use of pesticides poisons thousands of people every year. Pesticides sold illegally on the street can be too toxic to use in your home.
Sí, ellos envenenan cucarachas, pero también te pueden envenenar. Sure, they poison roaches, but they can poison you, too.
Si tienes Tres Pasitos o tiza insecticida en tu hogar, envué lvelo en un periódico y tíralo en la basura. If you have Tres Pasitos or insecticide chalk in your home, wrap it in newspaper and throw it in the trash.
Ten cuidado. Protege a tu familia. No utilices estos productos en tu hogar. Be safe. Protect your family. Don't use these products at home.
Gracias. Thank you
