Under the federal Endangered Species Protection Program, what must be on pesticide products that might adversely affect an endangered species?

The Endangered Species Protection Program aims to protect threatened and endangered species from the potential adverse effects of pesticide use. Therefore, pesticide products that may impact these species are required to include specific labeling that informs applicators of their responsibilities. This includes a label statement advising them to consult a county bulletin. These bulletins provide critical information about areas where certain pesticides should not be applied, helping to mitigate potential harm to endangered species and their habitats.

The need for state-specific bulletins comes from the fact that the impact of pesticide use can vary significantly based on local ecosystems and the presence of endangered species. By advising applicators to consult these bulletins, the program ensures that they remain informed about the latest guidance and restrictions related to pesticide applications, which is essential for both environmental protection and compliance with federal regulations.
