Sampling was done by purposive sampling technique that paid attention to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data was obtained from interviewing by using questionnaires and observations. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between age (p=0,038), work period (p=0,046), the length of spraying (p=0,035), the time of spraying (p=0,038), and number of pesticide types (p=0,034) with subjective health complaints. The conclusion, the risk factors in this study were age, length of spraying, time of spraying, and number of types of pesticides. Where as the protective factor was the period of work.
