Do I need a license??

[bec2173]

I operate a small lawn service in North Florida. One of my clients wants me to treat for fire ants and fertilize. Now I am not licensed to spray, (I plan on getting licensed at some point), but do I need to be licensed to use a granule application for the fert. and Fire ants. And how do I go about getting licensed to spray. I hope that I have not asked a question that has recently been covered, I have reading threads for about an hour now.

Thanks for any info....

Hello bec2173:

Yes, you need to be licensed...
This is what my County Extension Agent told me over 20 years ago...

If you apply chemicals or fertilizers of any kind & charge a Fee for it you must be licensed. Then you are still liable for it if something goes wrong!
