institutional or industrial use.
Report Filing Deadlines
Reports must be submitted, in duplicate (original and pink copy), to the county agricultural commissioner by the 10th of the month, following the

For each month when no pest control work has been performed, licensed pest control businesses must submit a use report by the 10th day of
the following month to the county agricultural commissioner in counties where they are registered. The use report must indicate that no pest
control work was performed.
