(a) These records shall be recorded within 24 hours after the pesticide application is made.
[...]
(c) Records shall be kept for a period of at least two years from the date of the pesticide application and shall be available for inspection by the department upon request.

R381-100-15(2): “The provider shall take safe and effective measures to prevent and eliminate the presence of insects, rodents, and other pests.” The same sentence appears in R381-60-15(2), R381-70-15(2), R430-50-15(2), and R430-90-15(2).
R68-7-11(11): “These records shall be recorded within 24 hours after the pesticide application is made.” And: “Records shall be kept for a period of at least two years from the date of the pesticide application and shall be available for inspection by the department upon request.”
