Pesticide application records in Delaware

What 3 Del. Admin. Code 601 §14.1 asks for on each structural pest control record, how long to keep it and what the customer must get, based on our reading of the rule. And how PestSheet covers it.

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 (Delaware Department of Agriculture).

What the record must include

  • Brand name of the pesticide
  • Dilution rate and amount of diluted material applied per unit, when applicable
  • Date and specific area treated
  • Name and address of the customer
  • Pest treated
  • Site treated and size of the treatment area
  • Applicator's name
  • Only when the label warns about drift: wind speed and direction, temperature and relative humidity

Also for restricted use pesticides (RUP)

  • EPA registration number, recorded at or before the time of application (also for pesticides used under the Worker Protection Standard)

How long to keep it

2 years. From the date of application. Records must be logged immediately or within 24 hours of completing the application.

Termites, fumigation and other cases

  • No customer notice for general pest control; only a disclosure for partial termite treatments.

Recent changes

Rule 601 was last amended effective February 1, 2025 (28 DE Reg. 576).

How PestSheet covers it in Delaware

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

  • Rate or dilution
  • Target pest
  • Areas or sites treated
  • Size of the area treated

If you apply a restricted use product (RUP), it also checks:

  • EPA registration number

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 3 Del. Admin. Code 601-14.1 template. It doesn't check items the app doesn't record (for example active ingredients or equipment); those remain your responsibility.
