Who is responsible for enforcing the laws that regulate the use of pesticides for structural pest control?

Wisconsin Department of Public Health
Environmental Protection Agency
Food and Drug Administration
Department of Agriculture

The correct answer is: Department of Agriculture

The Department of Agriculture is responsible for enforcing laws that regulate the use of pesticides for structural pest control. This department plays a critical role in pesticide regulation, overseeing the safety and efficacy of pesticide products, ensuring they are used in compliance with state and federal guidelines. Specifically, the department conducts inspections, issues licenses for applicators, and investigates complaints related to pesticide use, which helps maintain public health and protect the environment. The other entities listed have specific but different roles. The Wisconsin Department of Public Health focuses primarily on overall public health issues; the Environmental Protection Agency regulates pesticides at the national level and sets federal standards but does not enforce state-specific regulations; and the Food and Drug Administration typically deals with food safety and drug safety rather than direct pesticide application regulation. Each of these agencies contributes to pesticide management in various ways, but the primary enforcement for structural pest control falls to the Department of Agriculture.
