DEVICE CERTIFICATION

Pesticide Device Certification

Compliance certification for mechanical pest control devices, electronic repellents, traps, and equipment sold as pesticide devices under FIFRA regulations.

Are Devices Really Regulated?

Yes! Under FIFRA Section 2(h), any instrument or device intended for trapping, destroying, repelling, or mitigating pests is classified as a "pesticide device" and falls under EPA regulations. This includes electronic repellents, ultrasonic devices, mechanical traps, and barrier products.

Many Amazon sellers have their device listings suspended because they lack proper compliance documentation. PCCB certification provides the official verification Amazon requires to maintain your device listings.

Types of Pesticide Devices We Certify

Comprehensive certification for all categories of pest control devices

Electronic Pest Control Devices

Ultrasonic repellents, electromagnetic devices, and electronic pest deterrents that claim to control pests through non-chemical means.

Examples: Ultrasonic rodent repellents, electromagnetic insect controllers, electronic bug zappers

Mechanical Traps & Devices

Physical devices designed to trap, capture, or eliminate pests through mechanical action rather than chemical pesticides.

Examples: Mouse traps, fly traps, sticky boards, live-catch traps, snap traps

Light-Based Pest Control

Devices that use UV light, LED technology, or other light sources to attract and control flying insects and pests.

Examples: Bug zappers, UV fly traps, LED mosquito attractors

Barrier & Exclusion Devices

Physical barriers and exclusion products that prevent pest entry or access without using chemical pesticides.

Examples: Pest netting, bird spikes, rodent-proof vents, exclusion screens
