Additional official information
Background{"text":"Pesticides are regulated in Canada under the Pest Control Products Act. The Act requires that each pesticide imported into, sold or used in Canada be registered by Health Canada. Consumers can verify that a product is registered for use in Canada by looking for a Pest Control Product (PCP) number on the label. Before a pesticide can be registered, Health Canada conducts a detailed scientific evaluation to determine that any risks it may pose to people and the environment are acceptable and that the pesticide is effective for its intended use. Only products that meet this standard are accepted for registration."}
