Reminder – Wisconsin Landscape Pesticide Registry

You can now sign up for the 2019 Wisconsin Landscape Pesticide Registry. You must enroll by February 1, 2019 to be included in 2019’s registry.

What is the Wisconsin Landscape Registry?

If you are a Wisconsin resident and you register your property, you will be notified 12 hours before commercial pesticide applicators apply pesticides to neighboring property. Using the Registry, requires you list the properties you want to be notified about. Then companies check that list against their lists of customers.

• Parcels must be located on your block of residence or an immediately adjoining block.
• You may list your own address if you live in an apartment, condo or similar development and you do not hire the pesticide application business servicing the property.
• The Registry does not apply to agricultural property, utility or roadside right-of-way areas and pest control applications made around building foundations.
• Incomplete, incorrect and ineligible addresses will be excluded from the registry.

When you get the phone call from the pesticide applicator, you will have the opportunity to find out what kind of pesticide they will be spraying and when. It is a good time to remind them not to over-spray into your yard or gardens. I also have, from time to time, met the applicators outside when they are spraying to make sure they know where the lot lines lie.

What are the steps to follow to register your property?

If you have never registered before, go to Landscape Registry to create an account. Then follow the steps below. If you have registered before and you are simply making your annual update:
