Which statement about the Lawn Care Act markers is true?

• A. Markers must be placed before application
• B. Markers must be placed immediately after application to lawn
• C. Markers are not required if the lawn is small
• D. Markers must be placed at the end of the day

Answer: (D)

Markers indicate where a pesticide has been applied and help prevent exposure by warning people and pets to stay away from treated areas. Under the Lawn Care Act, the requirement is to post markers after the treatment and keep them in place for the applicable period, typically by the end of the application day, so the warning remains current for that day. This is why posting markers at the end of the day matches the rule. Markers are required regardless of lawn size, so size doesn’t excuse posting. Placing markers before application wouldn’t reflect any treated area, and posting only for large lawns isn’t correct.
