Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 5E-14.103 - Licensee Identification - Vehicles, Equipment

To assist the Department in enforcement of Chapter 482, F.S., and all regulations thereunder, the licensee shall identify all units or equipment used by him or in his behalf for pest control as follows:

(1) All motor vehicles and all trailers used in behalf of or by any licensee or licensee's employees in the conduct of pest control shall be marked for easy identification with the licensee's name or trade name, as registered with the Department. Vehicles shall be permanently marked except as provided below. The term "permanently marked" shall mean paint or decals applied to the vehicle body itself. Only those vehicles used exclusively for the purpose of sales and soliciting of business may be temporarily marked, including the use of magnetic signs, provided that no pesticides or pesticide application equipment are carried in the vehicle. All vehicles used in the conduct of pest control that carry or contain pesticides or pesticide application equipment, shall be permanently marked.

(2) The licensee's name or trade name shall appear conspicuously on both sides of each motor vehicle and each trailer, and shall be in bold lettering at least one and one-half (1 1/2) inches high, distinctly contrasting in color with the background, and shall be in plain view of the public.

Exception: Personal motor vehicles of principal owner(s) and of certified operator(s) in charge of pest control activities of a licensee, as registered with the Department are exempt from the requirements of subsections 5E-14.103(1) and (2), F.A.C., when such vehicles are not actively, constantly and regularly used in the conduct of pest control for the licensee.
