3A Ornamental Pest Control
Category 3A – Ornamental Pest Control under the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) pesticide licensing program authorizes the application of pesticides to control pests that affect ornamental plants, including trees, shrubs, flowers, and other decorative plantings. This category typically applies to landscaped areas around homes, commercial properties, parks, golf courses, and public buildings. Applicators licensed in Category 3A treat insects, mites, diseases, and other pests that damage ornamental vegetation, and may perform applications such as foliar sprays, soil treatments, or trunk injections to maintain the health and appearance of ornamental landscapes.
