Pesticide applications are overseen by a two-tier system: the person who operates the service (the Operator) and the person who actually applies the product (the applicator). The work of applying pesticides can only be performed by someone who is employed by a business or person holding an Operator’s licence. That licence holder is responsible for the operation, safety, training, records, and compliance with label directions. So, even if you hold an exterminator’s certification, you cannot legally apply pesticides unless you are employed by someone who has an Operator’s licence. This ensures there is a responsible supervisor and clear accountability for how pesticides are used.
