Amateur Users / Home and Garden

Amateur pesticides are products that are used in the home or garden situation and are approved for such purposes. You do not need any formal training to use these products; neither are you required to register as a user with DAFM. These products are most likely to be found in your local garden centre, DIY store or supermarket.
