This has always puzzled me, that if a person goes to spray with a knapsack, he or she must have the training and all of that done for using the knapsack and the spray bottle, but a private person doing the same thing does not have that training. Will Mr. Walsh make the distinction between pesticides for public use and those for professional use? With regard to the call being made by Mr. Walsh, are the further restrictions applicable to both uses or just to one?
