SPCB Filing Software

Prepare your California WDO filings without typing each activity into DCA Connect. Bug HQ tracks the 10-business-day deadline and generates the WDO_Log.txt upload file the SPCB WDO Reporting System accepts.

Key capabilities

WDO_Log.txt export
Select the reports you are filing and download the fixed-width WDO_Log.txt file the SPCB WDO Reporting System accepts — one upload instead of typing every activity by hand.
Business-day deadline tracking
Every Branch 3 report is assigned a due date 10 business days after the inspection, per B&P §8516. The Filings page shows what is due soon and overdue.
Activity codes set for you
Each report carries the right SPCB code — 1 Original, 2 Limited, 3 Supplemental, 4 Reinspection — and completion notices file as code 5.
Prepaid account tracking
Record your SPCB WDO account deposits and watch the running balance, so you know you can cover the $5-per-activity fees before you file.
Batches & confirmations
Group reports into a filing batch and store the SPCB submittal/confirmation number against each one for your records.
Open SPCB Connect
A one-click link opens connect.pestboard.ca.gov so you sign in with your own account and upload the file.

FAQ

What is the WDO_Log.txt file?

It is the fixed-width text file the SPCB WDO Reporting System accepts under Upload File, so a company can file many activities at once instead of typing each. Bug HQ generates it from the reports you select.

Does Bug HQ submit to the SPCB automatically?

No — the SPCB does not offer a public filing API. Bug HQ prepares everything: deadlines, the WDO_Log.txt file, batches, and confirmation tracking. You upload the file and click Submit in DCA Connect with your own account.

How does the $5 fee work?

Under 16 CCR §1997 the SPCB charges a $5 fee for each activity filed. You fund a prepaid WDO account in Connect; Bug HQ lets you record deposits and track the balance so you can cover the fees before filing.

Are completion notices included?

Yes. A Notice of Work Completed files as activity code 5 and is included in the same WDO_Log.txt upload.
