EPA FIFRA registration requirements for pest control products sold via e-commerce — flea and tick treatments, insecticides, rodenticides, antimicrobials, disinfectants, and pet pesticide products.
What this covers
Every pesticide product sold in the United States — including flea and tick treatments, bug sprays, disinfectants, and weed killers — must be registered with the EPA under FIFRA before it can be legally sold, and the registration number must appear on the label. Selling an unregistered pesticide on TikTok Shop (or any platform) is a federal violation, not just a listing policy issue. Pet pesticide collars and topical treatments have specific EPA evaluation requirements, and products that claim to repel or kill insects on animals without EPA registration are treated as unregistered pesticides regardless of how the product is positioned.
