StamparioAlberta pesticide application record
In Alberta, the Pesticide (Ministerial) Regulation (AR 43/97, s.11–12) requires a record of every commercial pesticide application, completed by the end of the same day. It lists the client, location, date and time, pest, product and PCP registration number, rate, total quantity, method and, outdoors, the weather. Records are kept for 5 years, and the applicator sends a copy to the service registration holder within 15 days.
What the record must contain
- Client name and the location of the application
- Year, month, day and time
- The pest and the purpose of the application
- Common or trade name of the product and its PCP registration number
- Rate of application and total quantity used
- Method of application
- Outdoors: temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, wind speed and direction
- If within 30 m of open water: its location and the distance
Deadlines
The record is completed by the end of the day of the application. The applicator gives a copy to the holder of the service registration within 15 days.
How long to keep it
5 years from the date of application (s.12). The Director may ask to see records.
How Stampario fills it
- The Canadian pest report has every field above, in metric, with weather fields that only appear for outdoor applications.
- Product picks fill the PCP registration number, and the report is finished on site, so "same day" happens by default.
- Every report is kept by address, well past the 5 years.
Common questions
Does BC ask for the same record?
BC’s IPM Regulation asks for a similar record and adds the monitoring method and injury threshold. The Canadian template includes those fields too.
Where do I find the PCP number?
On the product label, written as "Reg. No. 12345 P.C.P. Act". Save it once in your product list and it fills itself in.
