The Home Use Pesticide Database is on line at http://homeusepesticide.org. It is a searchable database of pesticides that are available over the counter for the home use market. The database includes insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, rodenticides, and other pesticides. Search options are available within pesticide type to refine searches. The site includes labels for about 40% of the approximately 1000 products listed and more are added as they become available. The website is being expanded to become a comprehensive, easy to use, up to date source of information regarding the selection and use of home use pesticides.
