What Does FIFRA Stand For?

FIFRA stands for Federal Insecticide Fungicide And Rodenticide Act

The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) is a United States federal law that regulates the use, distribution, and labeling of pesticides. Enacted in 1947, FIFRA requires that all pesticides be registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) before they can be sold or used, ensuring that they meet safety and efficacy standards to protect human health and the environment. The act also provides guidelines for the proper handling and application of pest control products, aiming to mitigate potential risks associated with pesticide use.
