What does the South Carolina Turf and Pest Control Category 3 license cover?

• A. Indoor application of pesticides for turfgrass and landscape ornamentals.
• B. Outdoor application of pesticides for turfgrass and landscape ornamentals, including pest identification, application techniques, safety, and compliance with state and federal regulations.
• C. Aerial application of pesticides to ornamental trees only.
• D. Pest control consultations without pesticide application.

Answer: (B)

The license covers outdoor pesticide applications for turfgrass and landscape ornamentals, and it includes knowing how to identify pests, use proper application techniques, follow safety practices, and comply with state and federal regulations. This combination ensures pesticides are applied effectively outdoors while protecting people, property, and the environment and staying within label requirements and legal rules. Indoor pesticide work or aerial applications to ornamental trees only fall outside this broader outdoor turf and landscape scope, and pest control consultations without actual pesticide application do not involve applying pesticides and aren’t what this license is about.
