Pesticide Dealers
Are distributors that are licensed by NMDA to sell restricted-use pesticides (RUPs). Use this Pesticide Dealer License Application Form to apply for a Dealer’s License.
Licensed Dealers are responsible for verifying that purchasers are licensed and certified in the appropriate category. This must be done before they sell an RUP. They must keep complete records of all transactions involving RUPs. It must include purchaser’s name and license number, sale date, and pesticide name, EPA Registration Number, and quantity sold.
Go to the link below for an example of a recordkeeping form Dealers can use to record RUP sales. Dealers may also be subject to the Federal pesticide rule on pesticide containers and containment.
Pesticide Manufacturers
May formulate, manufacture, or repackage pesticides. They must be registered with US EPA as Producer Establishments. Manufacturers are subject to the new Federal law on pesticide containers and containment.
