Under Ohio’s Pesticide Use and Applicator Law, certain pesticides are restricted and can be obtained and used only by pesticide applicators and public operators licensed by the Ohio Department of Agriculture and by those individuals who obtain a user’s permit from their county Extension agent.
Certain restricted pesticides, when used, require that notification be given to occupants of lands within 1,000 feet of the boundaries of an open area or field to be treated at least 24 hours prior to the application. Occupants should also be informed of the precautions necessary for safety of humans and animals.
