To sell Schedule 3 pesticides, what must a facility do?

• A. A facility must employ an individual who holds a Lawn and Garden Pesticide Dispenser Certificate.
• B. Provide free safety training.
• C. Obtain a municipal permit.
• D. Ensure all employees are licensed dentists.

Answer: (A)

This item tests the requirement for who may dispense Schedule 3 pesticides and the credential they must hold. Schedule 3 lawn and garden products can be sold in general retailers only if there is an on-site employee who holds the Lawn and Garden Pesticide Dispenser Certificate. This certificate shows the staff member has completed approved training on reading and applying label directions, understanding safety practices, proper storage and handling, and how to advise customers about safe use and disposal. Having a certified dispenser on site at the point of sale ensures customers receive accurate guidance and products are sold in compliance with the label. The other options aren’t required by regulation: municipal permits aren’t part of the sale requirement, general safety training alone isn’t the formal credential mandated, and dentists’ licenses aren’t relevant to pesticide sales.
