What are commercial class pesticides?
Commercial class is the designation used by the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) for products marketed for general use by a certified applicator in commercial activities. Commercial class pesticides are intended for use in agriculture, forestry, industry and other commercial operations. Applicators of commercial pesticides need knowledge on safe handling procedures and require personal protective equipment. More toxic pesticides that may have environmental concerns may be in this category. The sale and use of commercial class pesticides is regulated by NSEL.
