When a large quantity of pesticide is spilled, aside from kitty litter, what is an effective containment method?

Containment pads are specifically designed to absorb and contain hazardous materials, including pesticides. These pads are made from materials that can effectively soak up spills, preventing them from spreading and reducing the risk of contamination to the surrounding environment. They are often used in industrial and agricultural settings due to their efficiency in managing large spills.

Using plastic bags as a containment method is not effective for large spills, as they can easily tear or fail to contain the substance properly. Water is counterproductive in this context, as it can dilute the pesticide and allow it to spread further, increasing the risk of harm. While sand can provide some level of absorption and containment, it is generally not as effective as specially designed containment pads that are tailored for hazardous materials.
