If one of the product used does not have an EPA Number: are we still eligible for this credit?

Hi Alicia,
If the product is so non-toxic that it's exempt from EPA registration as a pesticide, then it's also considered least toxic by the LEED program. This EPA website is a good reference for additional info - it shows active ingredients that are exempt from federal registration: http://www.epa.gov/oppbppd1/biopesticides/regtools/25b_list.htm.
You can also double check the product's active ingredients against the San Francisco Pesticide Hazard Screening Protocol, located at http://www.sfenvironment.org/sites/default/files/fliers/files/sfe_th_pro....
Thanks,
Trista
