Why is the inhibitor in the Mosquito Cognito registered with the U.S. EPA?
The active ingredient in the Mosquito ‘Cognito inhibitor, Conceal , is a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved food additive. However, U.S. regulations define a pesticide as “any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, repelling, or mitigating any pest.” Conceal is therefore registered as a pesticide with the EPA. The Conceal inhibitor molecule is found in the essential oils of plants. It is widely used as a food flavoring.
