EPA Launches New Pesticides Website

October 7, 2015 In This Update: EPA Launches New Pesticides Website EPA’s Pesticides website has a new look, feel, and address. Many of our stakeholders have noticed our gradual move to new versions of our content as part of the larger EPA effort to build a more user-friendly website. With the new pesticides website, information should now be easier than ever to access, regardless of the type of electronic device you use, including tablets and smartphones. With the transition to our new site completed, web page addresses will be different. This may cause links and bookmarks to break and EPA is working to fix any broken links on our website. The majority of the old pesticide pages will redirect to the new web areas, but we encourage you to update your bookmarks. Our new “Page Not Found” notification will help you find what you are looking for by providing suggested search terms, links to our A-Z index, and other helpful links. If you have trouble locating information, try using the search feature available on every EPA web page and in the archive (archive.epa.gov). Check out the new website at: http://www2.epa.gov/pesticides To help you find some of our most requested information, below are the updated URLs for some of our most popular web areas: Pesticide Registration http://www2.epa.gov/pesticide-registration Bed Bugs http://www2.epa.gov/bedbugs Worker Safety http://www2.epa.gov/pesticide-worker-safety Pollinator Protection http://www2.epa.gov/pollinator-protection Endangered Species: http://www2.epa.gov/endangered-species Reporting Unintended Exposure and Harm from Pesticides http://www2.epa.gov/pesticide-incidents Biopesticides: http://www2.epa.gov/pesticides/biopesticides Pesticide Labels http://www2.epa.gov/pesticide-labels Managing Pests in School / School IPM: http://www2.epa.gov/managing-pests-schools Pest Control and Pesticide Safety for Consumers http://www2.epa.gov/safepestcontrol EPA distributes its Pesticide Program Updates to external stakeholders and citizens who have expressed an interest in the agency's pesticide program activities and decisions. This update service is part of EPA’s continuing effort to improve public access to federal pesticide information.
