Do all pesticides have antidotes listed on their labels?

Pesticides do not all have antidotes listed on their labels. This is because the availability of an antidote depends on the specific active ingredient and its mode of action, as well as the likelihood of exposure and the associated risks. Many pesticides are designed to be safe when used according to label directions, and while some may have antidotes due to their toxicity or the nature of their chemical action, an antidote may not be necessary or available for all pesticides.

Additionally, each pesticide is evaluated based on its risks and benefits, and in many cases, there are effective first aid measures that do not involve specific antidotes. Therefore, the absence of an antidote on a pesticide label does not imply that the product is unsafe but rather indicates the type of chemical and the safety protocols associated with it. This illustrates the importance of thoroughly reading and understanding pesticide labels and safety information.
