How PestSheet covers it in Tennessee
Before you complete a visit for a client in Tennessee, PestSheet checks that these fields are filled in:
- Applicator license or certification number
- Areas or sites treated
- Target pest
- Amount applied
- Rate or dilution
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 Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0080-09-04-.06 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 on the Secretary of State's site that no version newer than the December 26, 2021 rule exists.
