Wisconsin pest control recordkeeping requirements
Finish each application record the same day.
These are planning summaries, not legal advice. Rules change and have exceptions; confirm your state's current requirements with your state agency. Pestbook gives you tools and reminders.
The short version
- Finish each application record the same day.
- Record start and end times, the concentration and either the total used or the rate and area, and where you mixed it if not at the shop.
- Give the customer a written notice within 30 days with the applicator's license number and the label precautions. Email only if they agreed in writing.
- Lawn jobs: post signs and call or mail the neighbor registry ahead of time.
- Keep records two years (three for atrazine).
