JUNE 14, 2011

A. The Georgia Structural Pest Control Commission convened at 9:30 a.m. in Room 201 of the Agriculture Building on June 14, 2011. The following commission members were present: Jimmy Allgood, Chair, Maurice Redmond, Vice-chair, Ann Hyde, Chris Gorecki, Dr. Brian Forschler, Bodine Sinyard and Derrick Lastinger.

B. Also in attendance were Joshua Wiley with the Georgia Department of Agriculture, GPCA and CPCO representatives, registrants and other members of the pest management industry.

C. Motion was made by Mr. Sinyard to approve the minutes of the May meeting. Mrs. Hyde seconded the motion and motion passed.

D. The Commission approved company license applications (see Attachment 2). The Commission also approved certification examination applications.

E. Ann Hyde was commended for her many years of service on the Commission. Mr. Allgood recognized her dedication to her position.

F. Derrick Lastinger discussed ASPCRO’s involvement with the EPA on the new rodenticides label requirements ASPCRO sent a survey to the states to collect additional information on regulatory and enforcement issues and state needs. EPA announced that it is moving forward with product cancellations for non-compliant rodenticides.

G. Mr. Allgood mentioned that Derrick Lastinger had been proactive in addressing in-house pesticide application in schools. After meeting with Commissioner Black and State School Superintendent Dr. Barge, GDA agreed to make a list of recommendations. One of the main concerns discussed at the recent meeting included that some pesticide applications are being made by school staff that have minimal or no pesticide application training or experience. GDA sent a letter to Dr. Barge on June 1st including the following recommendations:

Georgia Department of Agriculture recommends that schools hire a licensed pest control company to provide pest management services. Licensed companies are required to have credentialed employees to properly apply pesticides and pest management practices to effectively manage infestations.

To ensure the safe use of pesticides, in-house pesticide applications are limited to school staff that have completed the Georgia Competent Applicators of Pesticides Program (GCAPP) or hold a commercial pesticide applicator’s license in category 35 Industrial, Institutional and Health Related Pest Control (see below for more information).

H. The ASPCRO bed bug survey was discussed by Mr. Lastinger. He mentioned that ASPCRO is

engaged in bed bug regulatory issues and coordinating some efforts with US EPA. ASPCRO is sending out a survey to the states to gather information from state lead agencies to best


determine how ASPCRO can best assist state programs. Mr. Lastinger asked for assistance from the state pest control associations with some of the survey questions hat would need industry input to best answer. Valera Jesse with the GPCA offered to assist.

I. Dr. Forschler mentioned that the budget cuts at UGA are making a huge impact. The latest cuts removed 18 positions in the Agriculture College and included the sale of a farm. He discussed the national initiative of IPM in schools and US EPA’s recent decision to define verifiable IPM. Dr. Forschler reminded the industry to focus education and training on IPM.

J. Mr. Lastinger provided an update on progress with Commissioner Black’s strategic planning. The SPC Technical Group submitted their report on May 30th. The report of recommendations will be reviewed along with 20 other reports to be consolidated into one report of recommendations to Commissioner Black by the strategic steering committee. Mr. Gorecki mentioned that the committee plans to meet in July to review the reports. Mr. Lastinger thanked the SPC Technical Group members and group co-chair, Mr. Gorecki, for their time and efforts. Mr. Allgood mentioned that Commission and industry need to review the current SPC laws and rules to better understand the current requirements.

A. The Georgia Structural Pest Control Commission convened at 9:30 a.m. in Room 201 of the Agriculture Building on July 13, 2010. The following commission members were present: Jimmy Allgood, Chair, Maurice Redmond, Vice-chair, Ann Hyde, Chris Gorecki, Dr. Brian Forschler and Derrick Lastinger.


C. Mr. Allgood welcomed Mr. Lastinger to the Commission. D. Motion made by Mr. Gorecki nominated Mr. Allgood as commission chairman and Mr.

Redmon as vice-chairman. Mrs. Hyde seconded the motion and motion passed. E. Motion was made by Mr. Gorecki to approve the minutes of the June meeting. Dr. Forschler

seconded the motion and motion passed. F. The Commission approved company license applications (see Attachment 2). G. Mr. Edge mentioned the following:

o The primary election is next week and run-offs are expected o The first significant increase in revenue occurred last month o The Georgia Association of Realtors (GAR) forms committee will meet on

August 20th to discuss the Wood Infestation Inspection Report (WIIR) as a requirement on the GAR Purchase agreement.

H. Mr. Harron updated the Commission on a recent Association of Structural Pest Control Regulatory Officials (ASPCRO) meeting hosted by the Georgia Department of Agriculture. The meeting included attendance by five regulatory officials from other states, Dr. Forschler and several pesticide registrants. The meeting was productive and ASPCRO continues to move forward with efforts to adopt termiticide testing standards.

I. The Commission met with Mr. Van Williams and Cliff Killingsworth, both representing PEST.COM. Both representatives explained how the company will market and sell Georgia WIIR’s and other pest management services through their website. The Commission discussed current licensing requirements and shared several concerns regarding how the company will meet the requirements.

The Commission recognized the regulatory requirement must be met but agreed to allow him to retest once application is made for the certification examination.

M. Mr. Wiley updated the commission on recent inspections on companies operating in Georgia from out-of-state locations. These inspections are finding many problems. Mr. Allgood recognized the program’s efforts in this area along with continued efforts to address unlicensed operators.

N. Mr. Lastinger discussed the Structural Pest Control Section compliance monitoring and enforcement priorities for FY2011. He highlighted a few priorities that will receive additional focus for the next year in addition to current efforts with unlicensed operators and out-of-state companies.

o Compliance Assistance will be part of all routine company inspections and most activities will be tracked.

o Targeted Inspections for routine compliance monitoring of pesticides applied in vulnerable communities such as long-term care facilities, hospitals, schools and adult and child daycare centers.

o Routine Inspections focusing on pesticide use requirements and record keeping requirements.

A. The Georgia Structural Pest Control Commission convened at 9:30 a.m. in Room 201 of the Agriculture Building on August 10, 2010. The following commission members were present: Jimmy Allgood, Chair, Maurice Redmond, Vice-chair, Ann Hyde, Chris Gorecki, Dr. Brian Forschler, Bodine Sinyard and Derrick Lastinger.

B. Also in attendance were Jim Harron and Josh Wiley with the Georgia Department of Agriculture, GPCA and CPCO representatives and other members of the pest management industry.

C. Motion was made by Mr. Sinyard to approve the minutes of the July meeting. Mr. Gorecki seconded the motion and motion passed.

D. The Commission approved company license applications (see Attachment 2). E. Mr. Lastinger mentioned he will have a conference call with EPA region IV state officials to

survey the states on the internet licensing issue discussed at the July 2010 meeting. He will report back to the Commission at the September meeting.

F. Mr. Lastinger discussed dual employee registrations and an effort to assist companies with applying for these registrations. Assistance is provided with a new application which will be posted on the website. The application will improve compliance with employee registration requirements and allow better tracking of dual employee registrations.

G. Mr. Harron discussed some recent concerns and complaints from attendees at recertification trainings that the presentations are not meeting their expectations. More specifically, attendees commonly report that course content was not as described, course did not meet the indicated length of time, presentation was mostly sales information and not meaningful instruction, information was not accurate and/or instructor was not prepared or familiar with course content. Mr. Harron mentioned that the department, as part of our EPA certification grant, is required to monitor recertification training session. He submitted a proposal to routinely monitor training sessions to the commission for consideration which the commission will review and discuss at the next meeting.

H. Mr. Allgood thanked GPCA for the article recognizing the Commission in their recent PROFILE publication.

I. Mr. Lastinger provided and discussed the annual certification and licensing activity report and the inspection and enforcement activity report for fiscal year 2010. He highlighted the new reporting of Compliance Assistance Inspections and Self-Reporting Meetings.

J. Mr. Edge mentioned that the Georgia Association of Realtors (GAR) forms committee plans to meet on August 20th to discuss the Georgia Wood Infestation Inspection Report as a requirement on the GAR purchase agreement.

K. Dr. Forschler mentioned that he participated in a recent training meeting with the Georgia Dept of Agriculture inspectors in Athens. As part of this meeting, a review of the school


inspection data was discussed. He mentioned the following about the school inspection data set:

o There was no indication of inspector bias o Most violations were attributed to a few technicians o A significant proportion of the insecticides listed on the PUR's from the school

inspections data set were pyrethroids o Pyrethroid use indicates baseboard spraying is common o Regular, scheduled baseboard spraying with pyrethroids is not considered an IPM

approach o The training and support provided by the pesticide industry could present a

conundrum for implementation of IPM principles o Emphasis on record keeping is necessary to validate IPM and Green Pest

Management services L. Mr. Wiley mentioned that during a routine inspection a misuse incident was found involving

Termidor SC. The product was applied in a garage for crawling insects. Since the label does not allow for indoor applications, the application is a misuse of a pesticide. The misuse incident resulted in an enforcement action.

M. Mr. Wiley presented a video taken from a security camera to the Commission involving a registered technician applying a liquid insecticide around open food items in a convenience store. As a result of the incident, the department has put in place a policy that if an inspector observes a pesticide application being made that may cause harm to human health and/or the environment then the inspector is responsible for notifying the technician of the concern with minimum disruption to the business or facility. Mr. Gorecki commented that the industry has a responsibility as well if any PMP observes an application being made that has potential to harm human health.

N. Mr. Lastinger updated the Commission on the Pest.com issue. He has not received a response from the representatives of the company.

O. Meeting adjourned at 10:40 A.M.

He also mentioned a bed bug handbook resource available on the DCH website. Mr. Lastinger discussed the NPMA bed bug survey and recent article that highlighted PMP expectations from state regulatory agencies.

G. Mr. Skin Edge of GPCA updated the Commission on the Georgia Association of Realtors (GAR) decision to include a check box on the GAR Purchase and Sale Agreement and the Brokerage Agreements indicating that Form F-13 entitled Protecting Yourself When Buying a Home was received by the buyer. The Form F-13 includes information about the importance of obtaining an Official Wood Infestation Inspection Report when buying a home. The new GAR agreements will be required in 2011.

H. Mr. Gorecki discussed his recent effort to compile a list of pest control application methods from a review of 75 structural pesticide labels.
