FAQs
How accurate is this pesticide compliance tool?
We’ve built this tool using simplified regulatory data from major sources like the US EPA and EU directives for over 10 regions. It’s designed to give you a solid starting point with clear pass/fail indicators. That said, regulations can change, and our tool is for informational purposes only—not legal advice. Always double-check with local authorities if you’re unsure.
What if my location isn’t listed in the tool?
No worries! If your specific region or country isn’t in our database yet, we’ll let you know and suggest reaching out to your local environmental or agricultural authority. They’ll have the most up-to-date rules for your area. We’re constantly expanding our database, so check back soon.
Do I need a license to use pesticides in my area?
That depends on your location and the type of pesticide you’re using. For example, some US states require licensing for commercial agricultural use but not for small-scale residential applications. Our tool will highlight if a license is needed based on the data we have for your region. If it’s unclear, we recommend contacting a local regulatory body to confirm.
