What Idaho requires

  • No one may act as a professional pesticide applicator in Idaho without a professional applicator's license from the Department; applicants are at least eighteen, pass the Department's examination and show financial responsibility, and the license is suspended automatically if that coverage lapsesIdaho Code 22-3404 (3)
  • Professional applicators keep application records with the name and address of the person it was applied for, the crop, animal or property treated, its location (address, legal description or latitude and longitude) and size or amount, the trade or brand name, total amount and EPA registration number of the pesticide, the date and time of day, the approximate wind velocity and direction, and the applicator's full name and license numberIDAPA 02.03.03.101.01
  • The record gives the time of day when the pesticide is appliedIDAPA 02.03.03.101.01.i
  • The record gives the approximate wind velocity and the approximate wind directionIDAPA 02.03.03.101.01.j, k
  • A professional commercial apprentice license covers general use pesticides only, under the limited supervision of a properly certified professional applicator; apprentices cannot supervise others, and the license expires two years after issue and cannot be renewed. When an apprentice applies, the record gives the supervising applicator's full name and license numberIDAPA 02.03.03.100.04.a ยท IDAPA 02.03.03.101.01.n
  • Professional applicators are certified in Applicator Core Competency plus their categories; pest work in and around human dwellings, residential and commercial buildings, food establishments and institutions falls under Industrial, Institutional, and Structural Pest Control (Non-Commodity, IP), and applicators may only apply or recommend pesticides for purposes they have demonstrated competence inIDAPA 02.03.03.100.02, .04
  • Within thirty days of applying a restricted use pesticide, the professional applicator gives the person the application was made for a copy of the application recordIDAPA 02.03.03.101.02
  • Professional applicators file proof of financial responsibility (liability insurance, bond, certificate of deposit, annuity or letter of credit) of at least 50,000 dollars bodily injury per person and 100,000 dollars per occurrence and 50,000 dollars property damage, with at most a 5,000 dollar deductible, and tell the Department immediately of any cancellation or reduction; licenses run for five-year periodsIDAPA 02.03.03.100.05, .06

Professional applicator licenses and apprentices

You need a professional applicator's license to apply pesticides for pay, in the right category: work in and around homes and buildings is Industrial, Institutional, and Structural Pest Control (Non-Commodity). Apprentices apply general use pesticides only, under the limited supervision of a certified professional applicator, on a two-year license that cannot be renewed.

What every application record holds

Record the name and address of the person you applied for, the property treated with its location and size, each product's trade name, total amount and EPA number, the date and time of day, the approximate wind speed and direction, and your full name and license number. If an apprentice applied it, add the supervising applicator's full name and license number.

Two years, and the customer's copy

Keep records two years, ready to be inspected, copied or sent when the Director asks. For a restricted use pesticide, give the customer a copy of the record within 30 days.

Financial responsibility

Keep proof of financial responsibility on file with the Department: at least 50,000 dollars bodily injury per person, 100,000 dollars per occurrence and 50,000 dollars property damage, with a deductible of no more than 5,000 dollars. A lapse suspends the license.

From field notes to a finished Idaho record

Note the time, the wind, each product with its EPA number and total, the property treated and its size, and who supervised an apprentice. ReportDraft puts your license, the time and the wind in the header and lists the products with every amount the rule asks for.

Common mistakes

  • No time of day on the record.
  • Leaving out the approximate wind speed and direction.
  • No size or amount of the property treated.
  • An apprentice's application with no supervising applicator named.
  • No copy of a restricted use application record to the customer within 30 days.
