Pest Smart

Quickly find hazard-ranked pesticide products to manage pests in commercial buildings, on landscape and turf, or in the home and garden. The Pesticide Research Institute (PRI) Pest Smart™ mobile app is a new user-friendly tool for LEED professionals, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) professionals, and anyone with an interest in finding information about pesticide products, including identifying the least-toxic products.

The PRI Pest Smart™ app ranks each pesticide product utilizing a three-level Hazard Tier based on potential for health and environmental impacts.

-Hazard Tier 1 = High Hazard
-Hazard Tier 2 = Moderate Hazard
-Hazard Tier 3 = Low Hazard

The PRI Pest Smart™ app has information for over 18,000 pesticide products. Find the Hazard Tier ranking you need to make informed decisions about pesticide use.

FOR PROFESSIONALS

The PRI pesticide product database includes currently registered products and those canceled within the last 5 years. We also include a selection of "exempt" products containing minimum-risk (Section 25(b)) ingredients that do not require a Federal registration, but are potentially useful as low toxicity alternatives in an IPM program. The product data are updated every 2-4 weeks.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

PRI utilizes pesticide information from the product label and MSDS, as well as leading international, federal, and state agencies to assign a Hazard Tier ranking, including:  International Agency for Research on Cancer, US Environmental Protection Agency, National Institutes of Health, the European Union, California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, and California Department of Pesticide Regulation.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The PRI Pest Smart™ app is a companion to PRI’s Pesticide Product Evaluator®. The app contains a subset of the information in the Evaluator, which provides comprehensive, integrated, and up-to-date information on human and environmental health hazards, water pollution potential, and environmental fate and transport characteristics for pesticide chemicals.

The Pest Smart™ app only provides information on pesticide products available in the United States.
