Who is required to provide the customer with written information about lawn chemicals?

• A. An applicator for hire.
• B. A homeowner.
• C. A pesticide manufacturer.
• D. A groundskeeper.

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that the person who actually applies lawn chemicals for a customer must provide written information about those chemicals. When a pesticide is applied for hire, the applicator is responsible for giving the customer written details—what product is being used, how to apply it safely, and what precautions to follow. This information typically covers the product name and active ingredients, label directions, protective equipment requirements, re-entry intervals, first aid and safety measures, and who to contact with questions. The obligation rests with the professional performing the application so the customer has clear, legally compliant guidance before and after use. Homeowners, manufacturers, or groundskeepers don’t have the same duty to supply this customer-facing written information in the normal course; the responsibility is on the hired applicator.
