certification and licensing

Treat only in your licensed category (ies)

Commercial applicators are only allowed to apply in categories in which they are licensed. Summary reports have revealed several applicators reporting applications made to areas they are not licensed to treat.

An area which has caused concern is weed control on sidewalks, patios, driveways or parking lots. Commercial applicators must be licensed in Category 6B (Industrial/Commercial/Municipal Vegetation Management) to do these types of applications. Those areas cannot legally be treated if the applicator is only licensed in Category 3A (Outdoor Ornamentals) or 3B (Turf).
