What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger…
Except old pesticides😬
Don’t be like this mouse — get rid of them before they’re a cartoon trap waiting to strike.
Dispose responsibly!

The mouse is smiling smugly, with the caption above reading, “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” The image is being used humorously to promote awareness about the dangers of old pesticides.
