Wildlife Services Pesticide Registrations
Wildlife Services (WS) uses pesticides as part of their programs to develop more effective techniques for managing wildlife. The programs generally use pesticides that have been granted a full EPA registration (Section 3 of FIFRA). Although APHIS prefers the use of commercially registered products, many program uses are limited in scope and lack commercial products that meet program needs. Therefore, APHIS holds registrations for those products needed by WS programs that lack comparable commercial alternatives. The current registrations held by APHIS for WS program use are listed below.
