Heard From the HillThe Governor signed the bill, LD 155, into law on June 10, 2021. Maine is now the first state to ban neonics through the legislature – previously states were only designating neonics as RUP. On Friday, August 27th the Maine Board of Pesticides Control hosted a public information gathering on implementing the neonic ban through the rulemaking process with exemptions for structural pest control. NPMA and NEPMA are heavily engaged on the issue and ensuring that the structural pest control industry’s exemptions are simple, seamless, and not burdensome. As previously mentioned, structural pest control is not impacted, as indoor and outdoor products around structural foundations are exempt from the ban.
