This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in the formulation and preparation of agricultural and household pest control chemicals (except fertilizers).
Start the review with pollution liability.
For Pesticide and Other Agricultural Chemical Manufacturing, the saved research highlights pollution liability, products liability, workers' compensation. Confirm how these arise in the actual operation, what controls are used and whether additional services change the proposed coverage.
Questions to ask
- What specific pesticide classes are formulated — insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, rodenticides — and are any restricted-use products in the mix?
- What are the volumes and types of concentrated active ingredients stored on-site at any one time?
- Has the facility had any EPA or state pesticide regulatory actions, spills, or reportable releases in the past several years?
- How are finished products distributed — direct to applicators, through ag retail, or to consumer retail — and in what geographic markets?
- Does the operation transport its own products, or are finished goods shipped via third-party carriers?
- What hazardous waste generation and disposal processes are in place, and is the facility a large-quantity, small-quantity, or conditionally exempt generator?
- For Pesticide and Other Agricultural Chemical Manufacturing, what should the underwriter know about manufacture or formulation of restricted-use pesticides requiring licensed applicator purchase?
- For Pesticide and Other Agricultural Chemical Manufacturing, what should the underwriter know about prior epa enforcement actions, pesticide registration violations, or state regulatory sanctions?

Establishments in this class formulate and blend pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, and related agricultural or household pest control products from chemical concentrates and inert carriers. Operations typically involve receiving and storing concentrated active ingredients, blending or mixing to produce registered end-use formulations, packaging into consumer or commercial containers, and distributing finished products to agricultural retailers, distributors, or commercial applicators. Regulatory compliance with EPA registration requirements and state pesticide laws is a persistent operational element.
