Buckeye Terminix has filed a notice of administrative appeal with ODA and the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas and has filed a motion with the court requesting a stay of the director s order. Judge Mike Watson will decide whether to stay the order pending the appeals process. A stay would allow the company to operate during the appeals process. ODA enforces all pesticide laws in Ohio. Its Pesticide Regulation Section licenses pesticide dealers and applicators and offers training and testing sessions throughout the year, helping assure the safe use of pesticides and limiting risk of misuse or mishandling.
Inspectors also investigate complaints of product misuse, improper storage, and improper disposal.
