What is NOT a role of a certified commercial applicator?

A certified commercial applicator is required to operate with oversight and adhere to specific regulations; therefore, the option stating that they can apply pesticides without any oversight is not a role of a certified commercial applicator. This reflects the important safety measure that ensures pesticides are applied correctly and responsibly to protect public health and the environment.

Certified commercial applicators must comply with state regulatory requirements, which include receiving proper training and certification. They are responsible for conducting pest control activities on various properties, but these actions must be within the guidelines established by their certification and local regulations. Meeting these regulatory requirements and adhering to the scope of their validity allows them to perform pesticide application safely and legally.
