Licenses, certified applicators and service technicians
Every business location needs its own license and its own certified applicator. A certified applicator is on site when the label requires it and to supervise anyone who is not a service technician, and a service technician is on site to make the application unless a certified applicator is there.
What every application record holds
Record the start and stop time, the company's name and address, the certified applicator's name, certification number and expiration date (and any service technician or non-certified applicator under supervision), the customer's name and address, where and when you applied, and the target pest.
For each product give the complete trade name and EPA number, the total pesticide used and total tank mix, the application rate and dilution rate, any adjuvant or drift agent the label requires, the site and the size of the area treated, and the label's restricted entry interval. A street address works if properly marked; a P.O. box never does.
Contracts, bait boxes and vehicles
Structural work gets a contract, with the service terms and cancellation policy explained first and a copy to the customer at signing. Unlocked rodent bait boxes in accessible areas carry the product details and your company's name and address, and your vehicles show your name and license number on both sides.
Keeping records
Keep records at your principal business location in Oklahoma for at least two years after their date of expiration, with label copies, contracts and wood infestation reports. Hand copies to the Board immediately in person or within seven working days of a written request.
From field notes to a finished Oklahoma record
Note when you started and stopped, each product with its EPA number, rate, dilution and tank mix, the area treated, and the label's restricted entry interval. ReportDraft puts your company, certification number and its expiration in the header, lists the products with every amount the rule asks for, and states the restricted entry interval in the precautions.
Common mistakes
- No stop time, only a start time.
- Missing the certification expiration date.
- A total amount without the dilution rate or the total tank mix.
- No restricted entry interval from the label.
- A P.O. box given as the place of application.
