Which scenario would require additional certification beyond a general operator license?

• A. Using a non-restricted use pesticide on a home garden.
• B. Applying pesticides only to ornamental plants in a landscape.
• C. If the product is a Restricted Use Pesticide or requires specialized application per label and state law.
• D. Using pesticides with any license in any area.

Answer: (C)

The key idea is that extra certification is required when you’re handling restricted-use pesticides or when the label and state law call for a specialized application. Restricted-use pesticides aren’t available to general operators; you must have the appropriate certification category in addition to the general license to use them or to perform the specialized methods they require. So, the scenario where the product is a Restricted Use Pesticide or requires specialized application per label and state law is the one that needs additional certification. The other scenarios involve general-use pesticides typically allowed under a general operator license, so they don’t require extra certification.
