Engagement Opportunity – Draft Permit Application Handbook for Structural Fumigations
Submit Comments by June 27, 2026

The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) has updated the Fumigation Permit Application Guide (2009), now retitled the Permit Application Handbook for Structural Fumigations (2026). The primary purpose of the Handbook is to support individuals applying for structural fumigation permits. The ministry is seeking stakeholder input to ensure the Handbook effectively meets the needs of applicants.

The new edition of the Handbook provides additional technical guidance for structural fumigators to reference and clarifies what information must accompany a permit application. The requirements to obtain a permit have not changed, and the ministry will continue to review permit applications in accordance with existing policy and requirements under the Pesticides Act and Ontario Regulation 63/09. Updates to the Handbook, however, are expected to help applicants better meet the submission requirements and reduce ministry review time.

Please consider this engagement opportunity to provide your feedback on the updated 2026 version of the Handbook. To ensure your comments are considered, we kindly request that they be submitted to MECP by June 27, 2026.

Comments can be sent directly by e-mail or by attaching them to the draft document and sending them to sdb-pesticideapproval@ontario.ca.

We appreciate your time and look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Tim Fletcher
Director under the Pesticides Act
Technical Assessment and Standards Development Branch
Ontario Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks
