Bill > A08686

This bill restricts the use of total release fogging pesticides, also known as "bug bombs," in New York. The bill states that these pesticides can only be purchased by individuals who are licensed as certified commercial pesticide applicators, certified residential pesticide applicators, or certified commercial pesticide technicians in New York or in a jurisdiction with reciprocity with New York. Additionally, the bill prohibits the use of total release fogging pesticides in multi-unit dwellings, as these products can pose health risks to residents. The goal of the bill is to reduce the use of these dangerous pesticides and protect the health and well-being of New York communities.
