Alabama pesticide application records: what the rule requires (Ala. Admin. Code r. 80-1-13-.14)

Not legal advice. This summarizes our research of the official rule, checked October 2, 2026. Rules change and may require more than what is listed here: confirm with the official text or with the agency (Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries).

What the record must include

EPA registration number of the pesticide
Name of the pesticide
Amount of pesticide used
Site where it was used
Pest being controlled
Application rate
Location of each application
Date and time of the application
Type of professional work or service performed

How long to keep it

3 years. 3 years for commercial pesticide permit holders (80-1-13-.14); the professional services rule (80-10-9-.15) sets 1 year from the last date of treatment.

Termites, fumigation and other cases

Customer notices apply only to termite work, not general pest control.

How PestSheet covers it in Alabama

Before you complete a visit for a client in Alabama, PestSheet checks that these fields are filled in:

EPA registration number
Amount applied
Rate or dilution
Target pest
Areas or sites treated

Also:

Reminds you to keep records at least 3 years.
Export the records of any period as PDF or CSV for an inspection (Pro).

The client's name and address, the service date and start time, and the applicator's name are always recorded. The app uses the Ala. Admin. Code r. 80-1-13-.14, 80-10-9-.15 template. It doesn't check items the app doesn't record (for example active ingredients or equipment); those remain your responsibility.

What we could not confirm

We could not confirm that every structural technician must also hold the commercial applicator permit under 80-1-13, so the stricter rule is shown.
