Safe use of pesticides: Answer

Answer: No. Antimicrobial pesticides must be registered through the EPA and the company must follow the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).

The primary federal law that governs how the EPA oversees pesticide use in the United States is the FIFRA. Any company that plans to sell or distribute a product in the US that is intended to control a pest or regulate plant growth must follow FIFRA.
