Who has to report pesticide use at schools?
Applications made by school personnel need not be reported to the county agricultural commissioner, except when a restricted-use pesticide is used (as defined in California Code of Regulations 6400). Only a person holding either a qualified applicator certificate or a qualified applicator license can make these applications. That person must report this use to the county agricultural commissioner each month (see 3-5). See 3-1 and 3-6 for additional information about recordkeeping for restricted-use pesticides.
