How long must records of restricted-use pesticides be maintained according to FACT?

  1. 1 year

  2. 2 years

  3. 3 years

  4. 5 years

The correct answer is: 2 years

Records of restricted-use pesticides must be maintained for a minimum of two years as per the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) regulations established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This time frame is essential for compliance and allows for proper tracking of pesticide application to ensure safety and accountability in pest management practices. Keeping these records for two years helps regulatory agencies monitor and evaluate the use of restricted-use pesticides, ensuring that they are applied appropriately and that any potential issues can be addressed within a reasonable time frame. Maintaining records beyond the two-year requirement, such as for five years, is not mandated and may lead to unnecessary clutter in record-keeping.
