What does the Louisiana structural pest control act regulate?

The Louisiana structural pest control act primarily regulates activities related to pest management. This encompasses a wide range of actions including the application of pesticides, the licensing and training of pest control applicators, and guidelines for pest management practices within residential and commercial structures. The act is designed to ensure that pest control activities are conducted safely and effectively, protecting both public health and the environment.

While safety standards for pesticide mixing, selling pesticides, and research on pest control products are essential aspects of pest management, they fall under broader regulatory frameworks or specific legislation. The Louisiana structural pest control act focuses explicitly on the day-to-day activities and practices that pest management professionals engage in, ensuring compliance with safety, efficacy, and ethical standards within the pest control industry.
