What kind of pesticides can a Commercial Pesticide Applicator apply?

A Commercial Pesticide Applicator is permitted to apply any type of pesticide, which includes general-use pesticides, restricted-use pesticides, organic products, and those classified as 25(b) products, which consist of certain minimum-risk pesticides. This broad scope allows commercial applicators to cater to a diverse range of pest control needs for their clients.

General-use pesticides are available without restrictions, while restricted-use pesticides are deemed to pose a higher risk to the environment or human health, requiring additional training and certification for application. Organic pesticides are also part of the spectrum, catering to those who prefer eco-friendly options. The inclusion of 25(b) products indicates the applicator's ability to use certain low-risk substances that meet specific criteria established by regulatory authorities.

By having the flexibility to apply all these types of pesticides, commercial applicators can make informed choices about pest management strategies based on the specific situations and regulations they encounter.
