The Pesticides Check screens your well water for a panel of agricultural pesticides that can leach into groundwater from nearby crop fields, orchards, and treated land. Wells in rural and farming areas are most at risk, especially shallow wells, after heavy rain, or during the growing and spraying season. Like most chemical contaminants, pesticides are invisible and tasteless, so testing is the only way to know. This kit gives you a clear read on whether pesticide residues are present in your drinking water and how they compare to health guidelines.
What it tests for
- A panel of commonly detected agricultural pesticides
- Residues that leach from nearby crop and orchard land
- Comparison against drinking-water health guidelines
Why it matters
Pesticides are designed to be biologically active, and chronic low-level exposure through drinking water is a health concern that routine well testing simply does not address. Because levels rise and fall with the growing season and rainfall, a periodic test is the only reliable way to catch a problem - and if residues are found, filtration and source protection can reduce exposure.
Who it is for: Best for wells near active farmland, orchards, or vineyards, shallow wells, and anyone who has noticed nearby spraying. Worth testing during or after the growing season when leaching risk is highest. Not part of a standard bacteria and nitrate test.

Frequently asked questions
- Should I test for pesticides if I live near farmland?
- Yes. Wells near active crop fields, orchards, or vineyards are most at risk of pesticide leaching, especially shallow wells and after heavy rain. If you are near agriculture, a periodic pesticide test is worthwhile.
- Is pesticide testing included in a normal well test?
- No. The bacteria and nitrate samples required for most wells do not screen for pesticides. This is a separate, dedicated test.
- When is the best time to test?
- Leaching risk is highest during and just after the growing and spraying season, and after heavy rainfall. Testing during that window gives the most representative result.
