PestSheet
Not legal advice. This summarizes our research of the official rule, checked October 1, 2026. Rules change and may require more than what is listed here: confirm with the official text or with the agency (Clemson University, Department of Pesticide Regulation).
What the record must include
- Quantity of each pesticide used
- Common chemical name of the active ingredient(s), if available
- Brand name and EPA registration number
- Pest or purpose ("household pests" or "general insect control" is acceptable for general insect control)
- Date and place of application
How long to keep it
2 years. From the date of application. Termiticide records (pre- and post-construction, including baits): 5 years or as long as a warranty or contract exists, whichever is longer.
What the customer gets
- On request, customers must get a legible statement for any application with the company name and address, the pests controlled, the common chemical name of the active ingredient (not the brand name) and the responsible licensed applicator.
- Under a continuing contract for general household insects, more general pest terms and several alternate chemicals may be listed.
Recent changes
The current version of Regulation 27-1083 took effect on June 28, 2024.
How PestSheet covers it in South Carolina
Before you complete a visit for a client in South Carolina, PestSheet checks that these fields are filled in:
- Amount applied
- EPA registration number
- Target pest
- Areas or sites 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 S.C. Code Regs. 27-1083 template. It doesn't check items the app doesn't record (for example active ingredients or equipment); those remain your responsibility.
