How PestSheet covers it in South Dakota
Before you complete a visit for a client in South Dakota, PestSheet checks that these fields are filled in:
- Target pest
- Areas or sites treated
- Size of the area treated
- Amount applied
- Rate or dilution
For exterior applications, it also asks for:
- Weather (wind, temperature)
Also:
- Reminds you to keep records at least 3 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 ARSD 12:56:07:01 template. It doesn't check items the app doesn't record (for example active ingredients or equipment); those remain your responsibility.
