What Pennsylvania requires

  • Each record gives the names and certification or technician registration numbers of everyone making or supervising the application, and the names of any noncertified or nonregistered persons involved7 Pa. Code 128.35 (a) (7)
  • Each record gives the date of application and the name and address of the customer, with the address and location of the site if different7 Pa. Code 128.35 (a) (1), (2)
  • For every pesticide, the record gives the brand name, the EPA product registration number, the total amount used in pounds, ounces, gallons or liters, and the dosage or rate of application7 Pa. Code 128.35 (a) (3) to (6)
  • For a pesticide with a reentry time, the date of application includes the hour the application was completed7 Pa. Code 128.35 (a) (1)
  • The record is completed in written or printable form no later than 24 hours after the application, kept at least 3 years, and made immediately available to the Department on request; product and application information goes immediately to medical personnel in an emergency7 Pa. Code 128.35 (c) to (e)
  • Before a commercial application, everyone on the Department's pesticide hypersensitivity registry whose residence or listed location property line is within 500 feet of the site is notified 12 to 72 hours ahead (by phone, in person, certified mail, email or fax, or a note on the door after two phone attempts) with the date, site, time window of no more than 24 hours, products, EPA numbers and active ingredients, and the business's name, phone and license number; bait stations, detached structures not listed, below-soil and tree injections, disinfectants and pool care are exempt; the notification record is made within 24 hours and kept 3 years7 Pa. Code 128.112
  • A certified applicator is responsible for those working under their supervision, instructs them in the application method, visits the site routinely to evaluate their work, and is physically present when the label requires7 Pa. Code 128.105
  • A specific-site application of a restricted use pesticide needs prior constructive notification to a resident of every dwelling on contiguous land, with the date, time and products at least 12 hours ahead for neighbors who asked 7 days before; applications inside a detached structure, in tamper-resistant bait trays or burrows, below the soil surface (unless near a well or with a fumigant) or injected into trees are exempt7 Pa. Code 128.82

What the Pennsylvania record holds

Record the date, the customer's name and address (and the site's, if different), each pesticide's brand name and EPA registration number, the total amount used in pounds, ounces, gallons or liters, the dosage or rate, and the names and certification or technician registration numbers of everyone who made or supervised the application, plus the names of any uncertified helpers.

When a label sets a reentry time, the date includes the hour you finished.

24 hours to finish, 3 years to keep

Complete the record in written or printable form within 24 hours, keep it at least 3 years, and produce it immediately when the Department asks. In an emergency, medical staff get the product and application details right away.

The hypersensitivity registry

Before a commercial application, check the Department's registry. Anyone listed whose property line is within 500 feet gets notice 12 to 72 hours ahead with the date, site, a time window of no more than 24 hours, the products, EPA numbers and active ingredients, and your business name, phone and license number. Bait stations, disinfectants and pool care are exempt. Keep a record of each contact for 3 years.

Supervision and restricted use notices

A certified applicator answers for the people working under them, teaches them the method, checks their work on site routinely, and is there in person when the label requires it. A specific-site restricted use application also calls for notice to residents of neighboring dwellings, with exemptions for bait trays, detached structures and tree injections.

From the truck to a finished Pennsylvania record

Note each product's rate and total, when you finished if the label has a reentry time, and everyone who worked the job. ReportDraft lays out Pennsylvania's items, keeps certified people and helpers on separate lines, and reminds you of the 24-hour deadline.

Common mistakes

  • No hour completed for a product with a reentry time.
  • Leaving an uncertified helper off the record.
  • Finishing the record more than 24 hours later.
  • Skipping the hypersensitivity registry check before treating.
  • Recording the rate but not the total amount used.
