Determining If a Cleaning Product Is a Pesticide ~FIFRA, EPA
****!!!!****!!!!**** "interpretation of the statutory and regulatory language applicable to products marketed as cleaning products that claim, state or imply that they mitigate a pest." "where a claim or implication is made in connection with the sale or distribution of a cleaning product that its use will mitigate a pest, either by itself or in combination with any other substance, the product would be considered to be intended for a pesticidal purpose and would therefore be required to be registered." "This fact sheet applies to claims made on a cleaning product’s label or labeling or through other means such as web sites, advertising, promotional or sales activities and testimonial claims in connection with sale or distribution of the product. A link on a producer’s website to academic or extension research that demonstrates the pesticidal efficacy of an unregistered product would be considered a pesticidal claim."
