How PestSheet covers it in Rhode Island
Before you complete a visit for a client in Rhode Island, 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
- Post-application precautions
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 250-RICR-40-15-2.6(B) template. It doesn't check items the app doesn't record (for example active ingredients or equipment); those remain your responsibility.
