The Connecticut record
For each application, record the name and certification number of the commercial supervisor and the commercial operator, the kind and amount of pesticide, the acreage if applicable, the date and place, the pest treated for, and the crop or site. List each pesticide's name and EPA registration number on the record or in a separate list. Keep records at your place of business for five years, and give a customer a copy of their record on written request.
Before the first application
Before agreeing to the work, give the customer and the resident or manager notice of the neighbor notification registry and a copy of the label sections with the product name and registration number, manufacturer, active ingredients, signal word, emergency phone and precautionary and reentry statements. Do the same before first using any other product there.
Neighbors and signs
When treating within one hundred yards of a property line, notify abutting owners or tenants on the commissioner's registry of the date and time, with at least two attempts no later than twenty-four hours ahead, and leave notice on their door if you cannot reach them. Outdoor work in that zone gets a rigid yellow 4 by 5 inch sign at each entry, and every 150 feet of road frontage for commercial applicators, left for at least twenty-four hours.
Misting systems and restricted use
Automatic pesticide misting systems around homes have been banned since January 1, 2019. Federally restricted use pesticides are applied only under a certified applicator's supervision.
