Regulating the sale and use of pesticides in California
About us
The California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) regulates pesticide sales and use. DPR’s strict oversight begins with pesticide product evaluation and registration and continues through statewide licensing of commercial applicators, dealers, consultants, and other pesticide professionals; evaluation of health impacts of pesticides through illness surveillance and risk assessment; environmental monitoring of air, water, and soil; field enforcement (with the county agricultural commissioners) of laws regulating pesticide use; residue testing of fresh produce; and encouraging development and adoption of least-toxic pest management practices through incentives and grants. The state’s pesticide regulatory program has had departmental status since 1991, as the Department of Pesticide Regulation, within the California Environmental Protection Agency. But the pesticide program had its beginnings in the early 1920s as a function of the California Department of Agriculture (later to be called the Department of Food and Agriculture). ONLINE RESOURCES: DPR offers many publications online (PDF format): http://www.cdpr.ca.gov/docs/dept/docsmenu.htm "A Guide to Pesticide Regulation in California: 2017 Update" provides a complete overview and history of the department: http://www.cdpr.ca.gov/docs/pressrls/dprguide.htm TRANSLATIONS: For pesticide safety information translated in other languages, see this link http://www.cdpr.ca.gov/docs/dept/spanish/translations.htm

No permita que los ratones y las ratas ronden su casa cuando el clima se enfríe. Elija prácticas de manejo integrado de plagas más seguras y sostenibles, como la exclusión y el saneamiento, para mantener alejadas a las plagas de roedores. Si los roedores comienzan a hacer ruido durante la noche, controle la actividad y coloque trampas adecuadas para la especie donde se detecte actividad de plagas. Consulte la hoja informativa sobre manejo de roedores del DPR aquí: https://lnkd.in/g_da8-NH

Don’t let mice and rats haunt your home when the weather cools down. Choose safer, more sustainable IPM practices like exclusion and sanitation to keep rodent pests out. If rodents start to go bump in the night, monitor for activity and set species-appropriate traps where pest activity is found.
