List of Restricted Pesticides
The Safe Grow Act places restrictions on the use of cosmetic pesticides for lawn care on the public and private property. Effective March 2014, the City prohibits Commercial Pesticide applicator from applying restricted pesticides for lawn care purposes on private property or public rights-of-way in the City. While, for a property owner or tenant the law went into effect on January 1, 2015.
The restricted pesticide list includes all items that are (a) carcinogenic or likely to be carcinogenic to humans by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA); (b) Class 9 pesticides by the Canadian Ministry of the Environment; and (c) Class 1 Endocrine Disruptors by the European Commission. The table is updated once a year on or before March 1st to reflects any changes made by the EPA, Canadian Ministry of the Environment and the European Commission.
This is the current list of restricted pesticides. The list was updated on 02-16-2024.
