Which type of pesticide application for hire is not covered under the provisions of a Maintenance Gardener Pest Control Business license?

A Maintenance Gardener Pest Control Business license is designed to cover activities related to the care and maintenance of plants in settings such as residential gardens and commercial landscaping. This license allows gardeners to apply certain pest control measures as part of their maintenance duties.

Spraying an herbicide in a cemetery, however, is not typically considered maintenance gardening, as it involves managing a specific area (a cemetery) which may require different regulations due to the nature of the site and the potential impact on the environment and public health. Cemeteries may be governed by specific regulations that differ from standard residential or commercial gardening practices. Therefore, such applications would fall outside the purview of a Maintenance Gardener Pest Control Business license, which focuses primarily on routine maintenance activities rather than broader pest management in specialized locations like cemeteries.

In contrast, the other options involve activities that align more closely with the maintenance of ornamental plants and gardens, which can be performed under the Maintenance Gardener Pest Control Business license. Applications incidental to ongoing maintenance, such as using snail bait provided by the homeowner or applying herbicides at residential locations, are routine gardening tasks covered by this license.
