I received a Treemail from Uncle @UncleBuckStop saying that he is now in intact with EPA concerning his product. Glad to hear it!

I also received an informative Treemail from Bob @NJBob with the following link:
https://www.epa.gov/minimum-ri...

EPA has a class of Minimum Risk Pesticides based on the active ingredients, concentrations, and some other criteria. I was unaware of this class because in my work I was only reviewing labels submitted for registration.

It is possible that this product will fall into this class. I will wait to see.

The EPA says that these products must still be cleared by the state.

Then there is the question of efficacy data. How does it work in a controlled experiment comparing it to other products?
