During which hours should you notify the TDA before treatment?

The correct time frame to notify the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) before treatment is established by regulations that aim to ensure proper oversight and coordination of pest control activities. The specified hours for notification, which typically encompass a wide range to accommodate working hours and operational schedules, are from 6am to 9pm. This allows pest control operators to communicate effectively with the TDA while still giving them flexibility to plan and execute treatments.

Notifying within these hours facilitates timely responses from the TDA, which is important for compliance with regulations and safety standards. This window is designed to reduce any potential risks associated with pesticide applications and ensure adherence to guidelines set forth for the protection of public health and the environment.

The other options do not align with the TDA's requirements for notification, either by being too narrow in their time frames or by not meeting the necessary operational criteria established for effective communication between pest control professionals and regulatory authorities.
