What is the primary focus of the Commission?

The primary focus of the Commission is regulation of pest control, which is essential in ensuring that pest management practices are effective, safe, and compliant with the laws and guidelines established for public health and environmental safety. This involves establishing standards for pesticide usage, licensing pest control operators, and overseeing the enforcement of regulations that protect both consumers and the ecosystem from potential hazards associated with improper pest management practices. Regulation ensures that pest control activities are carried out responsibly, minimizing risks to humans, pets, and beneficial organisms while managing pest populations effectively.

In contrast, while public health policy, agricultural development, and environmental protection may also intersect with pest control practices, they are broader areas that encompass a wider range of issues beyond just pest management regulation. This makes regulation of pest control the central focus of the Commission’s activities.
