A. A doubled license fee only
B. Training, retesting, or both
C. A notarized character reference
D. Surrender of any other professional licenses held
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: B. Training, retesting, or both

A. Aerial Application
B. Household Consumer Use
C. Retail Sales
D. Landscape Design
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: A. Aerial Application

  • B: consumer/household pesticide use by a property owner is exempted from licensing entirely under Agriculture Code §76.117, not a licensed category
  • C: selling pesticides is regulated separately as dealer licensing under Subchapter D of Chapter 76, not an applicator use category
  • D: not a real TDA license use category

A. Anywhere within 50 miles of the Gulf Coast
B. Within the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex
C. In any county with a population over one million
D. Along the international border with Mexico
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: D. Along the international border with Mexico

  • A: the statute is border-specific, not coastal
  • B: no such metroplex carve-out exists in the statute
  • C: the statute ties eligibility to the international border, not to population size
Source: Texas Agriculture Code §76.1095 — Noncommercial Applicator License for Mosquito Control in Border Counties; https://texas.public.law/statutes/tex._agric._code_title_5_subtitle_b_chapter_76
TDA's license use categories under 4 TAC §7.21 include a category specifically for mosquito control limited to counties along the international border with Mexico. What is that category called?
A. Border Mosquito Control
B. Public Health Pest Control (vector control), statewide
C. Aquatic Pest Control
D. Regulatory Pest Control
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: A. Border Mosquito Control

  • B: Public Health Pest Control (vector control) is the general statewide category; Border Mosquito Control is the narrower, geographically limited category created by §76.1095
  • C: Aquatic is its own category covering pesticide use in water, unrelated to the border-county mosquito provision
  • D: Regulatory Pest Control covers government pest-eradication programs, not the border mosquito category
Source: 4 Tex. Admin. Code §7.21 — Public Health Pest Control (vector control) and Border Mosquito Control categories; https://www.law.cornell.edu/regulations/texas/4-Tex-Admin-Code-SS-7-21
Under 4 Texas Administrative Code §7.21, an applicant who passes only the General Standards examination and no category exam is authorized to do which of the following?
A. Nothing — General Standards alone does not certify the applicant in any use category
B. Apply restricted-use pesticides only in the Agricultural Pest Control category
C. Purchase, use, or supervise the use of any restricted-use pesticide in any category
D. Apply restricted-use pesticides only for structural pest control
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: C. Purchase, use, or supervise the use of any restricted-use pesticide in any category

  • A: General Standards covers laws, safety, and label comprehension common to all categories, but certification in a specific use category requires passing that category's own exam as well
  • B: wrong — no category is granted without its own exam
  • D: wrong — structural work is licensed under a separate TDA program (the Structural Pest Control Service), not general TDA category exams
