• The applicator has a copy of the label of the pesticide being used at the application site, and on request gives any interested person at or next to the site any information on the label3 DE Admin. Code 601, s. 14.1.7
• Direct supervision of a noncertified applicator follows 40 CFR 171.201; where the certified applicator need not be physically present it includes verifiable instructions to the person: detailed guidance for applying the pesticide properly and a way to contact the certified applicator, and the certified applicator is physically present when the label requires3 DE Admin. Code 601, ss. 10.1, 10.3

• Every soil termiticide application is made with a commercial applicator certified in Wood Destroying Pest Control (7B) at the site, at no less than the label's minimum concentration and volume to form a continuous chemical barrier, and pre-construction treatments follow the label and EPA PR Notice 96-73 DE Admin.

Code 601, s. 22.3.1-22.3.2
• The owner or manager of a school, apartment building (4 or more rented units), nursing home, hospital or child day-care center may get pest control only from a licensed business or a certified institutional and maintenance applicator, and general use applications there are recorded like any commercial application3 DE Admin.
