MINIMUM RISK PESTICIDES VBFieldApps Lookup:
• No EPA registration number• Search by Brand Name and/or Company Name• System searches exactly as entered
![Page 7: INSPECTOR MEETING](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681678f550346895ddcbc42/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
VBFIELDAPPS SYSTEM VBFieldApps Lookup:
• Search for Reg# 498-179.
• Results will also include sub-registered products.
• State Wide Stop Sale banner misleading.
• A product with Reg# under stop sale.
• Might not be the one currently displayed on results form.
![Page 8: INSPECTOR MEETING](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681678f550346895ddcbc42/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
VBFIELDAPPS SYSTEM VBFieldApps Lookup:
• Status field currently displays “Not on file” for new registrations.
• Should display “New”.
• “Number of Samples Taken” field name is misleading.
• Will change to “Times Sampled During Year Shown Above”.

VBFIELDAPPS SYSTEM VBFieldApps Lookup:
• Product was found to be not registered, due to inspector’s “Check Reg.” request.
• Stop Sale letter was then sent by Registration Unit.
• Product name was also added to statewide Stop Sales list.
• Product name pulls up when entered into VbFieldApps “Stop Sales field” (as it should)
![Page 10: INSPECTOR MEETING](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681678f550346895ddcbc42/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
VBFIELDAPPS SYSTEM VBFieldApps Lookup:
• Product name typed into Product Registration Field
• “No Record Found”
• This field should also be showing that the product is on statewide Stop Sale list currently; therefore....
Double-check name in the Stop Sale side of system.

PHEROMONE PRODUCTS
• 40 CFR 152.25(b)“Pheromones and identical or substantially similar compounds labeled for use only in pheromone traps” are not required to be registered.
• Nonetheless, some are federallyregistered.
• Do they need to be registeredin North Carolina?
![Page 12: INSPECTOR MEETING](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681678f550346895ddcbc42/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
PHEROMONE PRODUCTS Do they need to be registered in NC?
• Definition of a pesticide:
A. Any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling or mitigating any pest, and B. Any substance or mixture of substances intended for use as a plant regulator, defoliant or desiccant.
• Pheromones used in traps attract the pest to the trap.
![Page 13: INSPECTOR MEETING](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681678f550346895ddcbc42/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
PHEROMONE PRODUCTS Do they need to be registered in NC?
Our policy:
• Attracting a pest to a trap ≠ Pesticidal activity.
• Attraction ≠ Demise of the pest.
• Glue, holding bag, electrical current, pesticide ingredient, etc. mitigates the pest.
• Not EPA registered = Not NC registered.
• Pheromone + Pesticide = Registration in NC
• EPA Registered = NC Registered

PHEROMONE PRODUCTS Do they need to be registered in NC?
• Mating disruptants:– They do, on their own, act as the
mitigating substance.– Do meet the definition of a pesticide.– NC registration
required.
