To sell Schedule 3 pesticides, an employer must hire a person with which certificate?

• A. A facility must employ an individual who holds a Lawn and Garden Pesticide Dispenser Certificate.
• B. Schedule 3 pesticides can be sold without any certification.
• C. Schedule 3 pesticides are banned.
• D. Schedule 3 pesticides are household products.

Answer: (A)

The important idea here is that selling Schedule 3 pesticides requires trained personnel with a specific dispenser certificate. The Lawn and Garden Pesticide Dispenser Certificate shows the individual has training on reading labels, understanding what Schedule 3 means, safe handling and storage, and how to advise customers on proper use and disposal. Because of this requirement, a facility cannot legally sell Schedule 3 pesticides unless it employs someone who holds that certificate. The other statements miss the regulatory point: certification is still needed for Schedule 3 sales, these products aren’t simply banned, and while many Schedule 3 items are household-oriented, the key rule is the necessity of the dispenser certificate for the seller.
