Florida Limited Lawn and Ornamental Practice Exam

In Florida, obtaining a limited certification in lawn and ornamental practices does not permit an individual to operate a pest control business independently. This certification is specifically designed to allow individuals to manage and use certain pesticides in landscape and ornamental plants, but it has limitations regarding the broader practices of pest control.

The certification is typically intended for specific tasks like applying certain pesticides for specified pests or pest types in a controlled environment. However, running a pest control business typically requires a more comprehensive pest control operator license, which encompasses a broader array of services, including structural pest control and more extensive pest management practices.

Therefore, the statement that operating a pest control business is allowed with certification in the limited certification category is indeed false, as the limited certification does not cover the legal requirements to operate a pest control business in Florida.
