Voluntary pesticide cancellations proposed
In April 2025, EPA received requests from registrants to voluntarily cancel certain pesticide registrations or to end specific uses of products. EPA intends to grant the requests at the close of the public comment period unless substantive comments or withdrawals occur, and if granted the listed registrations will be cancelled; any sale, distribution, or use after cancellation will only be allowed if it follows the terms in the final cancellation order. This may affect farmers, gardeners, and others who use the named pesticides.
