A pesticide application record is the note a licensed applicator makes for every job: who applied, when and where, which pest, what products by name and EPA registration number, how much, how, and over what area. Most states require commercial applicators to keep these records, and an inspector from the state lead agency, a customer or a lawyer may ask to see them years later. This form captures one application, with one entry per product, outdoor weather when it matters, restricted-use details when they apply and the notice the customer received. It records what was done; the product label and your state rules decide what must be done.

What a good application record holds
The core of every state's rule is much the same: the applicator's name and certification or license number, the date and time, the customer and the address, the target pest, the site or area treated, the product's name and EPA Reg. No., and the amount applied. Many states add the active ingredient, the dilution, the method or equipment, the size of the area treated and, for outdoor work, the wind and temperature.
Exactly which items are required, and for how long the record must be kept, differs from state to state and sometimes between categories of work. Check your state lead agency's rules and add anything they require in the notes.
One entry per product
A single stop often means a liquid perimeter treatment, a gel bait in the kitchen and a dust in a wall void. Each one is a separate entry here, with its own EPA Reg. No., amount and method, so nobody has to guess later which product went where.
Record the amount as you actually used it: the concentrate measured into the tank and the finished mix applied, or the weight of bait or granules. The rate itself comes from the label, never from a form.
Weather and drift for outdoor work
Outdoor applications are where drift complaints start, so the record notes the wind speed and the direction it was blowing from, the temperature and the sky at the time of application. Many labels limit spraying above a set wind speed or in a temperature inversion; recording what you measured shows you checked.
Indoor-only jobs skip this section. Answer No to the outdoor question and it folds away.
Restricted-use products and customer notice
Restricted-use pesticides may only be applied by a certified applicator or by someone working under one's direct supervision, and federal and state rules ask for extra detail on these jobs. A gated section records the certified applicator, how supervision was given and the restricted-use product entries.
Many states also require something left with the customer — a notice with the products used, re-entry instructions, lawn markers, or a call to people on a pesticide notification registry. The last section records what was given and how.
Common questions
Is this an official state pesticide record form?
No. It is a general record that captures the items most state rules ask for. Some states publish their own form or require extra fields; check your state lead agency and add what they require.
How long do I need to keep pesticide application records?
It depends on the state and the type of work. Two years is common, but some states ask for longer. Your state lead agency publishes the rule for commercial applicators.
What is an EPA Reg. No. and where do I find it?
The EPA registration number identifies the registered product. It is printed on the product label, usually on the front panel near the ingredient statement, in a form such as two or three numbers joined by hyphens.
Do I need to record the weather for indoor work?
Usually not. Wind and temperature matter for outdoor applications, where drift and label weather limits apply. This form asks for weather only when the job includes outdoor work.
Does this form tell me how much product to use?
No. Application rates, dilutions and sites come from the product label, which is the law. This form only records what you used.
