Answer: (A)

Two basic licensing categories in Louisiana are private applicator and commercial applicator. The private applicator license is for individuals who apply pesticides to property they own or manage, such as farmers treating their own fields or landowners protecting their own property. They typically purchase restricted-use pesticides for those on-property uses and do not provide pesticide services for other people’s properties for compensation. The commercial applicator license is for businesses or individuals who apply pesticides for others in exchange for payment, such as pest control operators or lawn-care companies, handling client properties across residential, commercial, or agricultural settings as part of their service.
