Minimum Risk Pesticides
Can new active ingredients be added to the minimum risk pesticide list, and if so, how?
How can I tell if a pesticide product qualifies for the minimum risk pesticide exemption?
I have found mosquito and tick repellents on the market shelf that do not have EPA registration numbers. I thought that exempted pesticide products could not be labeled to control these kinds of pests.
I have seen pesticide products that say they are "the natural way to control pests," or "safe for kids and pets." Aren't these considered by EPA to be false and misleading claims?
If a pesticide product qualifies as a minimum risk pesticide, is it exempt from all regulation?
What active ingredients may be used in a minimum risk exempted pesticide product?
What are the requirements if my exempted minimum risk pesticide product is to be used on or around food, food crops, or animal feed?
What happens if a state won't accept my minimum risk pesticide product as an exempted pesticide?
What must I do to meet any applicable state registration requirements for minimum risk pesticides that are exempt from federal registration requirements?
What should be included on a minimum risk pesticide product's label?
