A yardman who applies a pesticide to the lawn or ornamental plants of an individual residential property is exempted from licensing and certification requirements if the yardman applies pesticides owned and supplied by the individual property owner.

The yardman cannot advertise for or solicit pest-control business and cannot hold himself out to the public as being engaged in pest control.

The yardman cannot supply his own pesticide application equipment, use pesticide-applying power equipment or use any equipment other than a handheld container when applying the pesticide.
