Who is responsible for placing the lawn marker on residential properties?

• A. The applicator.
• B. The neighbor.
• C. The property owner.
• D. The city.

Answer: (A)

Posting a lawn marker is a notice requirement tied to pesticide labels, meant to inform anyone near the treated area about the application and the re-entry timing. The licensed applicator is responsible for placing that marker on residential properties because they perform the treatment and must follow the label’s posting instructions. This ensures neighbors and household members know a pesticide was applied and when it is safe to re-enter, protecting children, pets, and others. The neighbor, property owner, or city aren’t the ones obligated by the pesticide label to place the marker.
