Commercial

Commercial rodenticides are pesticides that are specifically formulated and marketed for the purpose of killing or controlling rodent populations, such as rats and mice. These products are typically available in a variety of forms, including baits, traps, and repellents, and are designed for use in a variety of settings, including homes, farms, and commercial buildings.

 

There are several types of commercial rodenticides available on the market, including single-dose baits, multiple-dose baits, and anticoagulants. Single-dose baits contain a toxic chemical that is lethal in a single serving, while multiple-dose baits contain a lower dose of the toxic chemical and require the rodent to consume several servings before it is lethal. Anticoagulants are a type of rodenticide that interferes with the rodent's blood clotting mechanism, leading to death from internal bleeding.
Commercial rodenticides are typically used to control rodent populations in order to prevent damage to buildings and crops, reduce the risk of disease transmission, and maintain sanitary conditions. However, it is important to use these products responsibly and follow label instructions to minimize the potential risks and impacts to non-target species and the environment.
In Canada, a license is required to purchase and use certain types of commercial pesticides. The specific requirements vary by province, so it's important to check with your local government for specific regulations in your area. Some provinces require a license for anyone who uses pesticides for commercial purposes, while others only require a license for certain types of pesticides or for applicators who use large quantities of pesticides. Additionally, some provinces have different licensing requirements for different types of pesticides, such as herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides.

It is legal to sell commercial pesticides in Canada, but the sale of pesticides is regulated by the Pest Control Products Act and the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA).

In order to sell pesticides in Canada, the products must be registered with the PMRA and have a valid Pest Control Product (PCP) number. This ensures that the products have been evaluated for safety and effectiveness and that the labeling and packaging meet certain standards.

Retailers and distributors must also comply with any federal and/or provincial regulations regarding the storage, transportation and sale of pesticides.

It is important to note that the regulations regarding the sale of pesticides can vary by province, so it is recommended to check with your local government for specific regulations in your area.
