LLactic Acid is registered as a biochemical pesticide used as a mosquito attractant (in traps). In addition, L-Lactic Acid is also used as an antimicrobial disinfectant, indirect food contact surface sanitizer, fungicide, and virucide when applied to hard, nonporous surfaces such as tile, countertops, metal, or glass. Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.57, a registration review decision is the Agency’s determination whether a pesticide meets, or does not meet, the standard for registration in FIFRA. EPA has considered L-Lactic Acid in light of the FIFRA standard for registration.
