Begin Reevaluation of Specified Total Release Foggers

The California Department of Pesticide Regulation is initiating a reevaluation of specific Total Release Foggers beginning June 29, 2026, to assess potential environmental and health impacts associated with their use. This process will involve collecting and analyzing relevant data to determine the safety and regulatory appropriateness of these products, with the goal of informing future regulatory decisions. The reevaluation is part of the department’s ongoing responsibility to ensure pesticide products meet modern safety standards and do not pose undue risks to public health or the environment. The effort is being led by the California Pesticide Regulation, Department of, with primary point of contact Jennifer Teerlink, Deputy Director, reachable via email or phone for inquiries. The work will be conducted statewide within California, though no specific physical location is designated for performance. The solicitation is published as a forecast on the CEQA Net portal, signaling a planned procurement activity rather than an active bid opportunity at this time. Stakeholders, including manufacturers, researchers, and the public, may be engaged as the reevaluation unfolds to ensure comprehensive data gathering and transparent decision-making.
