How long to keep it

2 years. Counted from each use.

What the customer gets

Public places (e.g. common areas of buildings with more than 4 dwelling units, public offices, parks): before applying, give the person who contracted a written statement with the applicator's or employer's name, address and phone; product name, EPA number, amount and target pests; adjuvants; and re-entry precautions.

Termites, fumigation and other cases

Public places: an 8½×11 sign at each entrance, posted just before the application and for at least 24 hours. Exempt: antimicrobials, rodenticide baits in tamper-resistant stations, and ready-to-use gels, pastes and foams.
Rented dwellings: the tenant must be notified before applying inside the unit (sign or verbal notice with date and time, product and re-entry).
Schools: the applicator posts a sign just before applying; the school administrator notifies parents 24 hours before.

How PestSheet covers it in Alaska

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

Applicator license or certification number
EPA registration number
Amount applied
Rate or dilution
Target pest
Areas or sites treated
Size of the area treated

Also:

Reminds you to keep records at least 2 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 18 AAC 90.420, 90.415 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 the exact wording of the public-place sign (it is published as an image).
