Compliance Assessment of Unlicensed Pesticide Vendors in the Greater Vancouver and Fraser Valley Regional Districts: Phase 2, July - August, 2005
This report is Phase 2 of an ongoing compliance assessment identifying companies selling non-excluded pesticides without a vendor licence, which is required under the Integrated Pest Management Act. In Phase 1, an overall compliance rate of 91% was observed as 115 vendors (9% of the vendors who were inspected) were selling non-excluded pesticides without the appropriate licence. Phase 2 followed up on these 115 non-compliant vendors. This phase found that of these 115 vendors, 54% had come into compliance. Those that did not come into compliance were sent a non-compliance letter. Phase 3 is being completed.
