Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA)

The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) is a U.S. law that regulates the sale and use of pesticides, including insecticides, fungicides, and rodenticides. It ensures that these products are properly tested for safety and effectiveness before they can be sold. FIFRA requires manufacturers to register their pesticides with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and provides guidelines for labeling, usage, and safety precautions. Its purpose is to protect human health, wildlife, and the environment from potential harms caused by chemical pesticides.
