,The difference between CA laws and DPR regulations is that laws are
Passed by the CA legislature and regulations are adopted by DPR to carry out laws
Remember is the Department of Pesticide Regulation

K

to pest control companies) for how many years?
2 years
D
So if a Company decides they're not making a profit off of a pesticide that has been

product they bought for the next 2 years.
