The term 'Customer' refers to:

• A. A person who hires a contractor to apply a pesticide to a lawn
• B. A person who sells pesticides to retailers
• C. A person who manufactures pesticides
• D. A person who licenses applicators

Answer: (A)

In pesticide service transactions, the customer is the person who hires a contractor to apply a pesticide. This is usually the property owner or manager who pays for the service and gives permission for the application on land they control. The choice describes exactly that relationship: a person who hires a contractor to apply a pesticide to a lawn. The other roles—someone who sells pesticides to retailers (dealer), someone who manufactures pesticides (manufacturer), and someone who licenses applicators (regulator)—are not the customer; they are suppliers, producers, and regulators, respectively.
