Pesticide Sensitivity Registry

To view PDF files, download Acrobat Reader.

In 1992, the legislature passed a law which allows pesticide sensitive individuals to submit information to the department, be placed upon a registry, and be contacted by the applicator prior to a pesticide application to a landscape or right-of-way which is adjacent to their principal place of residence.

For further information, please contact WSDA Pesticide Compliance at compliance@agr.wa.gov, (360) 902-2073 or toll-free at 1-877-301-4555.  

Information for Pesticide Sensitive Individuals

The Registration of Pesticide Sensitive Individuals Fact Sheet provides guidance for those who would like to be placed on the registry and for applicators who must notify those on the list. 

The Pesticide Sensitive Individual Application Form must be completed by the pesticide sensitive individual with all requested information including a signature from a physician who currently holds a license to practice medicine in Washington State. Incomplete applications or inaccurate information may interfere with the ability to provide adequate notification. 

Once an individual is on the registry, a Pesticide Sensitive Individual Renewal Form must be completed annually by the pesticide sensitive individual. A physician's signature is not required on the renewal form. 

For further information, please contact WSDA Pesticide Compliance at compliance@agr.wa.gov, (360) 902-2073 or toll-free at 1-877-301-4555.
