Welcome to the Department of Pesticide Regulation

Urban Pest Management Working Group

Back to Advisory Committees

In early 2007, DPR formed the Urban Pest Management Working Group to address pesticide problems associated with pesticide use in the State’s rapidly expanding urban areas, including pesticide runoff into creeks and streams. The Department’s Pest Management Advisory Committee recommended forming this special study group to focus on urban pesticide use. It includes leaders in urban pest management, water quality experts, and representatives from government, academia, industry and environmental groups. They are working on creative recommendations on how DPR can leverage its resources to solve urban pesticide use problems.
