Cedar products and cedar oil won approval by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a
minimum risk pesticide in March of 1996. The EPA has concluded that exemption of products
covered by this rule will not pose unreasonable risks to public health or the environment.
Simply put - the EPA is taking a stand against harmful toxic pesticides that adversely affect our
health and the environment. The EPA ruling clearly puts CedarCide products on top of the list as a
safe, natural alternative to chemical based products.
EPA RULES ON ORGANIC PEST CONTROL METHODS
In a recent ruling, 40CFR, Part 152 published in he Federal Register, the Environmental
Protection Agency established an exemption for cedar-based pesticides from regulation under the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act. In Section 152.25 of the 16 page ruling the
EPA has classified cedar oil and the inert vehicles such as red cedar chips as a minimum risk
pesticide " poses insignificant risks to human health or the environment." The EPA further noted
that the agency is "responding to society's increasing demand for more natural and benign
methods of pest control." Deregulation of cedar by-products will encourage the use of safer
pesticides. Ben Oldag, horticulturist and talk show host from Houston based KPRC Radio, reports
successful results from testing being conducted on all types of ground insects including, but not
limited to, ants, fleas and roaches.
Simply put - the EPA is taking a stand against harmful toxic pesticides that adversely affect our
health and the environment. The EPA ruling clearly puts CedarCide products on top of the list as
a safe, natural alternative to chemical based products.
