Safe use of pesticides
Scenario: A company has decided to help with the production of antimicrobial pesticides. Their intent is to offer a product that will disinfect, sanitize, reduce, or mitigate the growth of microbiological organisms on work processes, equipment, and common surfaces in the workplace.
Can the company produce and use an antimicrobial pesticide without EPA approval or licensing if the intent is to not distribute it right away?
Yes. If an antimicrobial pesticide is produced by, for, and used solely by the same company, EPA does not need to review or license the pesticide.
No. Antimicrobial pesticides must be registered through the EPA and the company must follow the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).
