(a) No person shall engage in the business of applying pesticides to the lands or personal property of another unless such person has been duly licensed by the Department. Further, no license shall be issued to any person, nor shall it remain valid, unless such person is certified or employs a certified applicator at all times. At least 1 person designated as a certified applicator under the license shall meet the experience requirement specified in § 1207(c) of this title. No license shall be required of any private applicator.
