“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 Files (slice {"file": url}): - List of Active Ingredients Authorized for Cosmetic Use (Allowable List) (csv): https://data.ontario.ca/dataset/10837e5e-d2f6-4eba-a208-161c661530a1/resource/fb2ccde7-31f0-432d-9eb1-69be327c50b1/download/mecp-pesticides-allowable-list-en-utf8-2022-12-05.csv - List of Active Ingredients Authorized for Cosmetic Use (Allowable List) (csv): https://data.ontario.ca/dataset/10837e5e-d2f6-4eba-a208-161c661530a1/resource/a03df75d-6a18-466b-be45-5ec78c02ce43/download/mecp-pesticides-allowable-list-fr-utf8-2022-12-05.csv
