Registration is granted when the state finds that, based on existing scientific evidence, there are no appreciable risks if proper use conditions are followed or that the risks are outweighed by the benefits. The degree of risk depends upon the degree of exposure, so exposure should be minimized.<br \/>\n\u201cIf within 24 hours following application you experience symptoms similar to common seasonal illness comparable to the flu, contact your physician or poison control center (telephone number) and your pest control company immediately.\u201d (This statement shall be modified to include any other symptoms of overexposure which are not typical of influenza.)<br \/>\n\u201cFor further information, contact any of the following: Your Pest Control Company (telephone number); for Health Questions\u2014the County Health Department (telephone number); for Application Information\u2014the County Agricultural Commissioner (telephone number), and for Regulatory Information\u2014the Structural Pest Control Board (telephone number and address).\u201d<br \/>\n(4) If a contract for periodic pest control has been executed, the frequency with which the treatment is to be done.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(b)<\/strong> In the case of Branch 1 applications, the notice prescribed by subdivision (a) shall be provided at least 48 hours prior to application unless fumigation follows inspection by less than 48 hours.<br \/>\nIn the case of Branch 2 or Branch 3 registered company applications, the notice prescribed by subdivision (a) shall be provided no later than prior to application.<br \/>\nIn either case, the notice shall be given to the owner, or owner\u2019s agent, and tenant, if there is a tenant, in at least one of the following ways:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">(1) First-class or electronic mail, if an electronic mail address has been provided.<br \/>\n(2) Posting in a conspicuous place on the real property.<br \/>\n(3) Personal delivery.<br \/>\nIf the building is commercial or industrial, a notice shall be posted in a conspicuous place, unless the owner or owner\u2019s agent objects, in addition to any other notification required by this section.<br \/>\nThe notice shall only be required to be provided at the time of the initial treatment if a contract for periodic service has been executed.
