Pesticide Use Records and Reporting

If you would like to get setup with online reporting, please call our office with your business name, preferred username, and email address. Alternately, reports may be faxed, emailed, hand-delivered, or mailed to our office, the postmark serving as the date of delivery.

Pesticide use records must be maintained and use must be reported to the Del Norte County Agricultural Commissioner’s office by the following:

  • Property operators producing an agricultural commodity.
  • Landscape maintenance gardener pest control businesses, agricultural pest control businesses performing residential work, and structural pest control businesses.
  • Public agencies, pest control businesses, and property owners who apply pesticides for agricultural use other than for the production of an agricultural commodity. These uses include applications for the production of poultry, fist, and apiary. Pest control businesses must report uses for the production of livestock. Also, uses on golf courses, parks, rights of way, cemeteries, forests, ditches, fence lines, ect., must be reported. 
  • Persons who use restricted materials for uses other than the production of an agricultural commodity.
  • Persons who use a pesticide for industrial post-harvest commodity treatments. 
  • Persons who use a Ground Water Protection pesticide listed in California code of Regulations, Section 6800 (b) for any outdoor institutional or industrial use. 
  • Licensed pest control businesses during months when there was no pest control work performed (i.e. Negative Use Reports).
