Commercial Applicator
A commercial applicator is a licensed applicator who uses any restricted-use pesticides on a contractual or for-hire basis. Additionally, this type of applicator includes any person using restricted or general use pesticides for hire or compensation for lawn care, structural pest control, or community-wide outdoor vector control.
Noncommercial Applicator
A noncommercial applicator is a licensed applicator who applies restricted-use pesticides only on lands owned or controlled by their employer or for a governmental agency or subdivision of the state. This type of applicator also includes any person using restricted or general use pesticides for community-wide outdoor vector control on behalf of a political subdivision of the state.
