Pesticides, Insecticides and Fungicides Regulation

Pesticides, Insecticides, and Fungicides under federal regulation are organized into distinct classes, based on where, when and by whom they may be applied. Relevant to our clientele are:
  • Domestic class products are for personal use in and around the home.
  • Commercial class products are restricted to commercial activities as indicated on the label. These are not available to the general public for use in and around the home.
  • Restricted products can only be used under certain circumstances by specially trained individuals. These are not available to the general public.

It is the responsibility of the user to obtain any license or certification required to use Commercial and/or Restricted products. For your convenience, some of the related federal and provincial web site links are provided below.
