In point of fact, most of the problems that cause sickness and even death, involve the storing, mixing, and disposal, not the application of these agents.
When storing your homes chemicals, it is best to store them outside the structure of the home, in a cool dry place, with appropriate ventilation, and under lock and key. Your storage building should have the capacity to shelve the chemical containers, and should be equipped with enough absorbing materials to soak up a large quantity of liquid in case of a spill.
Of course, you should always avoid extremes in temperatures, Freezing, or over heating can be bad for the chemicals, and bad for you. You should always read and follow label directions for the mixing, application, storage, and disposal of chemicals, and make appropriate adjustments in your storage building to accommodate these needs.
Most portable building manufacturers offer options such as vents, air conditioner cutouts, shelves, and other options that might make your chemical storage more successful, and most will work with you to customize your building to meet your specific storage needs.
