## Short answer
Georgia requires licensed structural pest control companies to keep true and accurate pesticide use records for at least two years and give the property owner, resident, or custodian a legible copy when the service is finished (Rule 620-3-.02). Wood-destroying organism work also needs monthly job reports, kept for two years (Rule 620-6-.06).

## When a record is required

A pesticide use record is required after every structural pesticide application and after installing or changing a termite control system that protects a structure. The record must be available to the Georgia Department of Agriculture on request.

## What the record includes

Georgia’s published guidance lists these items.

- Customer name, property address, and the specific areas treated
- Company name and telephone number
- Applicator name and certification or registration number
- Target pest
- Pesticide or system name and EPA registration number, if applicable
- Amount and concentration applied
- Application method and date
- Start and completion times for non-residential applications
- Post-application precautions

## The customer gets a copy

Georgia requires a legible copy of the record to be given to the property owner, resident, or custodian when the service is complete. Make handing over the copy part of finishing the visit, so it happens every time and not only when someone remembers.

## WDO monthly job reports

Wood-destroying organism work has its own monthly job reports under Rule 620-6-.06, covering items such as the owner’s name, property address, the WDO pest, type of structure, and the date of treatment or inspection. Keep them for two years from the report period. The Georgia Structural Pest Control Commission rules were recently amended, so check the current version.

## How WildPipe helps

WildPipe’s pesticide records save the product, EPA registration number, amount, rate, area treated, target pest, method, weather, and the licensed applicator and supervisor at the stop, and you can require the record before a visit can close. Saved records are sealed, corrections become dated amendments, and you can search and export them for an inspector. The field app also works without signal, so the record is made on site instead of typed up later.

Visit start and finish times are saved with each stop. Check during a demo that the customer copy you send includes every item above.

This guide summarizes published rules as of October 2026. It is not legal advice. Rules are amended, and your license category, the products you use, and local requirements can add more. Confirm the current rule with your state agency before relying on it.
