Section 35:30-17-75.3 - Manufacturer's label instructions

(a) Termite bait or termite baiting systems shall be used according to the manufacturer's label.

(1) Monitoring of termite bait system stations shall be used to detect the presence of subterranean termites. Both baited and non-baited termite baiting system stations shall be monitored according to the manufacturer's label. If the manufacturer's label does not address monitoring of baited and non-baited termite baiting system stations, they shall be monitored no less than once per month during the entire length of the contract.

(2) Termite bait system stations shall be placed according to manufacturer's label. Where the manufacturer's label does not address termite baiting system station placement, they shall be placed no more than twenty (20) feet apart around the perimeter of the structure as practicable. If bait system stations cannot be installed according to the manufacturer's label or at a maximum of twenty (20) feet apart due to concrete or other obstructions, stations may be placed outside of the obstructions so long as the span between structure and station does not exceed twenty (20) feet. If the span between structure and station exceeds twenty (20) feet, an alternate method of treatment shall be utilized for that section of the structure.

(3) Any deviation from the manufacturer's label or the twenty (20) feet maximum shall require a disclosure signed by the consumer prior to the termite bait or termite baiting system treatment. The disclosure shall include full identification of areas excluded and specify all reasons for not applying the termite bait or termite baiting system according to the manufacturer's label or the twenty (20) foot maximum and shall include all additional supplemental treatment rendered.

(b) Upon termination of the termite bait or termite baiting system contract, the applicator shall make reasonable efforts to remove all components of termite bait or termite baiting systems.

(c) The Board reserves the right to evaluate termite bait or termite baiting systems prior to registration in Oklahoma.
