“Pesticides contribute to the health…of all Canadians”

The UPMCC represents the manufacturers, formulators, distributors and allied associations of specialty pest management products.The UPMCC is involved in all aspects of industry-wide and public education, communication, stewardship, legislation and regulation appropriate to pest management in the urban environment.
The UPMCC states that “municipalities have no authority to ban the sale of (pesticide) products” in Canada and that the use of pesticides adds value to residential properties.
The UPMCC also states that “there are bona fide benefits to community health and the environment from the use of pest control products”.
