About this file

This document is a California Department of Pesticide Regulation official reference guide detailing Restricted Materials Requirements for pesticide use in California. The document comprehensively lists federal and state-restricted use pesticides, specifying which materials require special certification, permits, and specific handling protocols for commercial and private applicators.

The document outlines two primary categories of restricted pesticides: Federal Restricted Use Pesticides (Category A) and California Restricted Materials (Category B), which include numerous specific chemical compounds such as Acrolein, Aluminum phosphide, Chlorpyrifos, and many others. The guide provides detailed exceptions to restrictions, noting specific circumstances where certain pesticide uses might be permitted without additional certification or permits, such as home use, structural pest control, or vector control district applications. Certified applicators, including commercial categories like Journeyman Pilots and Qualified Applicator Licensees, and private applicators like Private Applicator Certificate Holders, are subject to specific regulatory requirements when handling these restricted materials.

Some product labels require a Certified Applicator be “physically present” at the use site.
