The person is preparing a homemade pesticide without using any personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves or eye protection. There is also no visible labeling on the container, and the mixture is being handled near open food items (the bowl of powder) and in a casual outdoor setting, raising the risk of accidental exposure or ingestion.

When mixing any type of pesticide—homemade or commercial—wear appropriate PPE, including gloves and eye protection. Always label containers clearly with the contents and date of preparation. Prepare mixtures away from food, pets, or children, and store them safely. Even natural or DIY pesticides can pose health risks if not handled correctly.
