Georgia pesticide application records: what the rule requires (Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. 620-3-.02(1)(f))

Not legal advice. This summarizes our research of the official rule, checked September 30, 2026. Rules change and may require more than what is listed here: confirm with the official text or with the agency (Georgia Structural Pest Control Commission (SPCC), Georgia Department of Agriculture).

What the record must include

Customer name
Address of the property treated
Company name and phone number
Applicator name and registration or certification number
Specific area(s) treated
Brand name of the pesticide product or system applied or installed
EPA registration number
Amount of pesticide or other material applied
Concentration applied
Method of application
Target pest(s)
Application date
Any post-application precautions
Non-residential only (institutions, schools, commercial facilities): application start and completion times with AM/PM

How long to keep it

2 years. Made available to the Commissioner or an authorized representative on request within a reasonable amount of time.

What the customer gets

Upon completion of every application (including installing or modifying a termite system), give the owner, resident or custodian a legible pesticide use record.
The record may be written or electronic. Electronic delivery requires the owner or custodian to first sign the standardized Electronic Communication Acknowledgement form; keep it for the length of the contract or 2 years after it expires (620-3-.02(1)(g)).
Exterior applications more than 10 feet from the structure (except enclosed stations): post a sign at least 4 x 5 inches at the access points at the time of application (620-3-.02(1)(l)).

Termites, fumigation and other cases

Wood-destroying organisms: keep reports of all monitoring, inspections and reinspections under contract (date, person, whether WDO or termite activity was found) and provide them to the owner; contracts and supporting documents are kept for the contract term plus 2 years (620-6-.02).

Recent changes

The SPCC rules were amended April 8, 2026. The pesticide use record fields did not change; the amendment added a standardized acknowledgement for electronic delivery, requirements for noncertified persons applying RUPs, and removed the link between exterior signs and an interior application.

How PestSheet covers it in Georgia

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

Applicator license or certification number
EPA registration number
Amount applied
Target pest
Rate or dilution
Areas or sites treated
Application method
Post-application precautions
Business phone

Also:

For non-residential accounts, the end time of the service.
Electronic delivery acknowledgement with the standard statement, signed on your phone and kept with the client (620-3-.02(1)(g)). Signing is free; sharing the PDF is Pro.
Delivery reminder: the pesticide use record is due when the application is completed.
Start and end time are required for non-residential accounts.
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 Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. 620-3-.02(1)(f) 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 effective date published by the Georgia Secretary of State, or that the final adopted text is identical to the proposed text.
We could not confirm whether "a reasonable amount of time" for giving records to the Commissioner means 48 hours.
We could not confirm a deadline for giving WDO monitoring and inspection reports to the owner.
