FIFRA (Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act)

The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) is a U.S. law that regulates the sale and use of pesticides. It requires that all pesticides be registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) before they can be sold or distributed. This registration process ensures that the pesticides are safe for human health and the environment when used as directed. FIFRA also sets guidelines for labeling, storage, and disposal of pesticides, aiming to minimize risks associated with their use while managing pests effectively.
