What the Utah record holds
Within 24 hours of an application, record the customer's name and address, the application address if different, the total square footage or size of the area, the specific target sites, the time and date, each product's brand name, EPA registration number and mix rate, the total amount applied including diluted or ready-to-use product, the purpose and pest, and the applicator's name, business address and license number.
Service records and service notifications show your business name and number prominently. Keep records two years in a uniform format.
Termite diagrams
Termiticide jobs add a diagram with the structure's dimensions and the depth to the footer, plus where termites or activity were found on post-construction treatments. File these records by structure and keep them two years.
Vehicles, labels and restricted use notices
Each service vehicle carries printed, current labels for everything applied from it; a phone screen does not count. Mark vehicles on both sides with your business name and number in two-inch characters. Before a restricted use product labeled Danger or Danger-Poison, give the customer a written statement of who, what and when.
The 2026 registration change
Chapter 478 of the 2026 General Session amended the Act so that a pesticide applicator business registers and holds a registration certificate, valid until December 31 of the second year after issue, and employs at least one certified applicator. The department's rules still speak of a business license; use the number the department issued you on records and vehicles.
From the truck to a finished Utah record
Note the square footage, each product's mix rate and total, what you were after and where. ReportDraft fills each Utah item, puts your business name and number on the record, and keeps the depth to the footer in view on termite jobs.
Common mistakes
- No square footage or size of the area treated.
- Leaving the business number off the service record.
- Recording the concentrate used but not the total diluted amount.
- Relying on electronic label copies in the truck.
- A termite diagram without the depth to the footer.
