Which type of pesticide does not require a pesticide license to purchase?

General Use Pesticides are those that can be purchased and used without the need for a pesticide license. These products are considered to pose a lower risk to human health and the environment when used according to label directions. As a result, they are more accessible to the general public, allowing homeowners and non-professionals to apply them without formal training or certification.

In contrast, Restricted Use Pesticides, as well as those requiring a Private or Commercial Pesticide Applicator License, are deemed to have higher risks associated with their use due to potential hazards to the environment, public health, or non-target organisms. These products are regulated more stringently, hence the requirement for individuals to hold specific licenses and undergo training to ensure safe handling and application.
