Where must pesticide products used in New Jersey be registered?

In New Jersey, pesticide products must be registered with both the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the State of New Jersey. This requirement ensures that all pesticides meet federal standards for safety and effectiveness as determined by the EPA, which oversees the regulation of pesticide use nationwide. At the same time, New Jersey has its own state-level regulations that may require additional assessments or compliance with specific state laws aimed at protecting public health and the environment. This dual registration process helps to ensure that the pesticides used in the state are safe for both users and the general public while adhering to state-specific criteria that may reflect local ecological and health concerns.
