Which of the following would qualify someone to purchase Schedule 1 pesticides?

• A. Homeowner
• B. 16-year-old without certification
• C. Certified applicator
• D. Employee with no connection to pesticide use

Answer: (C)

Schedule 1 pesticides are restricted-use products that can only be purchased by someone who holds the appropriate pesticide certification or is purchasing under the direct supervision of a certified applicator. This ensures that the person handling and applying the product has received the required training on safe storage, handling, application, and regulatory responsibilities. A homeowner generally cannot buy Schedule 1 pesticides, a 16-year-old without certification does not meet the credential requirement, and an employee with no connection to pesticide use isn’t authorized to purchase them. The certified applicator is the only option that meets the credential and supervision requirement, so they are the one who would qualify to purchase Schedule 1 pesticides.
