A. Yes. All products designed to manage, destroy, attract or repel pests that are used, sold or imported into Canada are regulated by Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA). The federal legislative authority for the regulation of pesticides in Canada is the Pest Control Products Act (PCPA). The use of pesticides is also subject to regulation under provincial/territorial legislation. You can review the act at the PMRA’s web site at http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/pmra-arla/english/legis/pcpa-e.html.
