Abstract
Like other restricted-use pesticides, soil applied termiticides must be registered by the federal government prior to use or sale in the United States. Currently, that role is handled by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP). Until 2010, this office was known as the Office of Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances (OPPTS) — an acronym that still appears in historical instances.
