What must an applicator for hire provide to a customer?

• A. An applicator for hire shall provide the customer with written information concerning lawn chemicals, application procedures, and other general guidelines about the safe use of lawn chemicals.
• B. Only provide a receipt.
• C. Provide no information.
• D. Provide a video link.

Answer: (A)

Providing written information about the lawn chemicals, how they will be applied, and general safe-use guidelines is required for an applicator for hire because it ensures the customer understands what will be used and how to use it safely. Written materials give clear, permanent guidance on product identity, application procedures, label directions, and safety precautions, helping to protect people, pets, and the environment and giving the customer a reference to review later.

A receipt alone doesn’t communicate any details about the products or safe-use steps, so it doesn’t fulfill the safety and information requirement. Providing no information at all leaves the customer unaware of what was used or how to handle it safely. A video link might be helpful in some contexts, but it isn’t a substitute for written, accessible information required by regulations.
