“Allowable List” of Pesticides for Cosmetic Use
The cosmetic use of pesticides is considered a non-essential use. Ontario bans the cosmetic use of pesticides to protect Ontarians from unnecessary risk by only allowing certain, low-risk pesticides for controlling weeds and pests on lawns and gardens. Pesticides can only be used for cosmetic purposes if the: * use is permitted under an exception to the ban, or * active ingredient in the pesticide is included on the Allowable List
