Household and Structural Pest Management

Disclaimer

This publication contains pesticide recommendations that are subject to change at any time. These recommendations are provided only as a guide. It is always the pesticide applicator's responsibility, by law, to read and follow all current label directions for the specific pesticide being used. Due to constantly changing labels and product registration, some of the recommendations given in this writing may no longer be legal by the time you read them. If any information in these recommendations disagrees with the label, the recommendation must be disregarded. No endorsement is intended for products mentioned, nor is criticism meant for products not mentioned. The author and Ohio State University Extension assume no liability resulting from the use of these recommendations.

Important Notice

An amendment to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act was passed by Congress and signed by the President on October 21, 1972. This regulation classifies all pesticides for "general" or "restricted" use. It requires anyone who applies a restricted pesticide to be certified. The new regulation makes it a criminal offense to misuse a pesticide. You should remain aware of these changes and be alert to any specific requirements that affect your operation.
