What Kentucky requires
- Structural application records give the name and address of the person receiving application services and the location of the application302 KAR 26:030, Section 3 (2) (a), (b)
- Records describe the use of the area where the pesticide was applied302 KAR 26:030, Section 3 (2) (c)
- Records give the time and date of the application, and the beginning and ending times when it is made in a school302 KAR 26:030, Section 3 (2) (d), (e)
- Records give the brand or product name of each pesticide, the estimated amount of each applied, the target pests, and the name of the person making the application302 KAR 26:030, Section 3 (2) (f) to (i)
- When a trainee applies, the record gives the trainee's name and the supervising applicator's name and license number, along with the trainee supervision records 302 KAR 26:050 requires302 KAR 26:030, Section 3 (2) (j) to (l)
- Restricted use pesticide applications are recorded under the fuller list, which adds the size of the area treated, the EPA registration number, the total amount of each pesticide per location per application, and the purpose302 KAR 26:030, Section 2 (2)
- Application records are kept at least three years from the date of application and made available to the department on request; one set per application is enough when the application is made in a business's name302 KAR 26:030, Section 3 (3), (4)
- At every treatment for control or prevention of wood-destroying organisms, the property owner is given a graph: a drawing that identifies the structure type, outlines it with approximate length and width, and marks current visible activity, visible damage and every treatment applied, including partial treatments302 KAR 26:090, Sections 1 (2), 2
- Schools run integrated pest management: when children are present (two hours before the school day until 45 minutes after dismissal) only listed products such as label-designated baits out of reach and rodent baits in tamper-resistant stations may be used without notice; any other application then requires notice to the parent registry at least one hour ahead, and the certified applicator gives the school the date and time, target pests, area use, brand names and method on the department's acknowledgment form and keeps a copy302 KAR 26:090, Section 3
- Every service vehicle used in pesticide work is marked with the company name registered with the department or its identifying logo; removable signs travel with the vehicle and stay visible302 KAR 26:060, Section 2
The structural application record
For general use pesticides in structures, record the name and address of the person receiving the service, the location, a description of how the treated area is used, the date and time, the brand or product name of each pesticide, the estimated amount, the target pests and who made the application. In a school, record the beginning and ending times too.
A trainee's application names the trainee and the supervising applicator with their license number. Restricted use products go on the fuller list, which adds the area size, EPA registration number, the total amount per location and the purpose.
Three years of records, and a graph for termite work
Keep application records at least three years and hand them to the department on request. Every treatment for wood-destroying organisms comes with a graph for the owner showing the structure type, its rough dimensions, visible activity and damage, and where each treatment, including any partial treatment, went.
Schools and service vehicles
Schools run integrated pest management. While children are present, from two hours before school until 45 minutes after dismissal, only listed products such as out-of-reach baits and rodent stations go down without notice; anything else needs at least one hour's notice to the parent registry, and you give the school the details on the department's acknowledgment form. Mark every service vehicle with your registered company name or logo.
From the truck to a finished Kentucky record
Note what the treated space is used for, when you started (and finished, at a school), each product with roughly how much went down, and your supervisor's name and number if you are a trainee. ReportDraft fills Kentucky's record lines and lays out the details your termite graph needs.
Common mistakes
- No description of what the treated area is used for.
- A school service with no ending time.
- A trainee's record with no supervising applicator's license number.
- Treating for termites without leaving the owner a graph.
- Unmarked service vehicles.
