Wednesday June 25
Joint Antimicrobial and Pest Management Products Division Program
The Regulation of Pesticides Beyond the EPA
Experts will discuss the ever-changing pesticide regulatory landscape, including registration requirements and how states are filling federal-level gaps. There will be a specific focus on California, Canada, and the European Union.
The Rodenticide Task Force provides information about the appropriate and effective use of rodenticides as part of Integrated Pest Management programs that protect public health, food safety, and property, while also protecting the environment, endangered species, and other non-target animals. Proposed and recent changes in federal and state regulations of rodenticides may have a myriad of impacts on the industry, and adapting to these changes and understanding potential effects are critical to developing effective strategies.
