Certification and financial responsibility

You may not buy, use or supervise the use of pesticides commercially without certification in the right class; homes, food businesses, institutions and industrial sites fall under the industrial, institutional and structural class. Certificates expire April 1 after the third anniversary, and you need 100,000 dollars of financial responsibility on file.

What every application record holds

Record the name and address of the person you applied for, where you applied, the pests, the start and completion time, who supplied the pesticide if it was not you or your employer, the trade name and EPA number, the amount of formulated product and tank mix per acre or other unit, the site and area treated, the equipment used, and your signature and number.

For outdoor work other than baits, add the wind direction and estimated speed and the outdoor temperature.

24 hours, 30 days, three years

Make the record within 24 hours of the application. Give the client a copy as soon as possible and within 30 days, unless you hold a signed letter from the client waiving it. Keep records for three years and hand them to the Commissioner on request; missing or false records are violations.

From field notes to a finished North Dakota record

Note when you started and finished, what equipment you used, each product with its EPA number, rate and total, the area treated, and the wind and temperature for outdoor work. ReportDraft puts the times, equipment and certification number in the header, lays out the products, and leaves a signature line so the client's copy is ready the same day.

Common mistakes

  • A start time but no completion time.
  • No description of the equipment used.
  • Waiting more than 24 hours to write the record.
  • No copy to the client within 30 days and no signed waiver on file.
  • Missing wind direction, speed and temperature for an outdoor application.
