Q&A - Should I wear gloves when using garden chemicals?
Question:
Should I be wearing rubber gloves when applying glyphosate? What about other garden chemicals?
Answer:
When spraying glyphosate or other garden chemicals, you should wear rubber gloves and other protective clothing. The label on the chemical container will state what you should do. Most of the time it will say to wear a long sleeve shirt, long pants, gloves and protective eyewear. You never know when some wind will blow the spray back at you.
