Veterinary Services Pesticide Registrations

Veterinary Services (VS) uses pesticides as part of their programs to develop more effective techniques for managing livestock. The programs generally use pesticides that have been granted a full EPA registration (Section 3 of FIFRA) under a commercial registrant. VS has special quarantine and emergency eradication uses for non-native pest species that are not covered by any registered commercial products. These uses are fulfilled through special emergency exemptions under Section 18 of FIFRA. The current emergency exemptions held by APHIS for VS program use are described below in the table by product:
