Registration as a Pesticide Sensitive Individual Details


Registration as a Pesticide Sensitive Individual

General Info - Statewide Registration


In 1988, Regulations pertaining to the Pesticide Applicators Law were amended to establish requirements for notifying pesticide sensitive individuals about certain pesticide applications. At that time, Maryland was the third state in the nation to implement this type of program. Currently, there are ten states in the United States, including Maryland, that have provisions for maintaining a list of individuals that are sensitive to pesticides so that they may receive notification of pesticide applications.

This list only applies to pesticides applicators performing in categories 3 (ornamental) and 8 (Public health). The list gets sent out only once a year.
