Any pesticides that are used in Canada must be registered through Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency. This federal agency determines whether a product is safe for use.

Approvals issued in Nova Scotia are posted below, and key details of approvals issued in 2023 are also available.

Please note that the approvals include property identification number (PIDs) where spraying has been approved. It is important to note that many of the PIDs are quite large and only a small site within each one has been approved for spraying. Because of this, the location closest to the actual spray site may not be the same one listed in the approval as the PID location. For example, in approval #2017-107493, West Loon Lake in Halifax County is listed as the location of the PID, but the spray site is closer to Eastville in Colchester County.
