The following is a selection of state rules specific to HVH’s:

  • All certified and licensed Category 1 (agricultural) commercial applicators and all certified and licensed private applicators (farmers) are automatically covered by the General Permit and are eligible to apply the HVHs according to label directions, within the time periods allowed by the general permit. No additional actions or filings are required. As with all RUPs, certified and licensed applicators must comply with all label directions for use and must keep records for each application. 
  • All Restricted Use Pesticide (RUP) dealers registered and permitted by OISC are automatically covered by the General Permit and are eligible to sell or distribute the HVHs. No additional actions or filings are required. As with all RUPs, registered dealers may sell or distribute only to other registered RUP dealers or to certified and licensed Category 1 (agricultural) commercial applicators or certified and licensed private applicators (farmers). And again, as with all RUPs, records of the sale or distribution must be maintained by the registered dealer.
