Summary
The EPA is considering changing how pesticide and pest control device labels must look and what information they need to display. This matters to consumers, farmers, and pest control companies because clearer or different labels could affect how people understand safety instructions and use these products correctly.
Key Points

- 2The proposed changes could affect labeling requirements for both chemical pesticides and pest control devices like traps or sprayers
- 3This is still in the early stages—the EPA has published notice of the petition and is likely to gather public feedback before making any decisions
- 4The changes could potentially make labels clearer and easier to understand for farmers, homeowners, and professional pest control workers
- 5Anyone concerned about pesticide safety or labeling clarity has an opportunity to submit comments during the public comment period
