BTW, Butch, " RTFM " means Read The Fine Manual and is a frustration response to a

newbie who has asked a common question without having first tried to inform

himself. I don't mind being told to RTFM so long as I'm pointed towards the

manual I ought to have read. My definition of naive is one who doesn't know

that he doesn't know. The more I learn, the more I learn I have more to learn.

Thanks again for your time.

So does this mean that if using the ingredients listed, you are ok? Do you

still have to register a bug repellant?

the EPA!!) --Penny

I wanted to address the question about the bug repellant. While it is true

that you should not be making any claims there are some exemptions to this rule.

The EPA has a list of ingredients entitled FIFRA " 25B' here you will find an

array of raw materials that have probably been used for ever by farmers as

pesticides, insecticides and herbicides.As long as you formulate your product

off of this list the ingredients are exempt at the federal level from regulation

and testing. You still have to register your product in any state where you

intend to market or sell though.

 

You can access the list at my website in the knowledge base-

If you pay attention to products in the market there are several who are

selling their brand because of this loophole.

 

Be well,
