Proposed changes to the Integrated Pest Management Regulation
The Ministry of Environment intends to amend the Integrated Pest Management Regulation (IPMR) to ensure that most pesticides used in landscaped areas are applied by trained people. Amendments to the regulation will also change the way Domestic class pesticides are sold and update the schedule of excluded pesticides.
