Go to the NYS Pesticide Product, Ingredient, and Manufacturer System (PIMS) website
To look up primary and supplemental labels for products that are currently registered, you may search by product name, active ingredient or EPA number. From the product search results, click the "NYS" label under the "Labels" column of the pesticide that you are interested in. On the next page click "View" for the most recent (by date) and currently approved NYS primary or supplemental label. Any current 2(ee)s or Section 18 Emergency Exemptions approved for a pesticide will also be available via this search.
If the pesticide you're searching for doesn't come up when searching in the currently registered product listings, you can check to see if the pesticide's NY registration has ended. Select search by product name or EPA number in the main menu and under "Search Options", select "Archive", then click "Submit". If the pesticide you're searching for is listed in the results, then it's no longer registered in NYS. If the product you're searching for is not listed here, then it either never was registered in NYS or it has a Special Local Needs (SLN) registration.
To look up SLN labels, from the main menu, click on "Special Registrations". On this screen, go under the "Special Local Need Products" option, set the "Display" setting to 100 records and click "Submit". A list of all current SLN registrations will come up where you can search for the specific product. Click on the "NYS" link under the "Labels" column to view the approved label(s).
