§ 11908 Apprentice Pest Control Supervision

This law says anyone applying for a pest‑control apprentice certificate must prove they will only work under the direct, personal watch of a certified journeyman.

Key Takeaways

  • •Applicants must give the director proof (paper or other info) of supervision.
  • •Supervision must be direct and personal – the journeyman has to be right there.
  • •The supervisor must hold a journeyman’s certificate for pest control.

Example

Maria wants to become a pest‑control apprentice. She must show paperwork that she will only spray insecticide while a journeyman named Tom is right there watching her work.

Because the law requires proof of supervision, Maria can't work alone; she must have Tom, who holds a journeyman’s certificate, directly supervising her every step.
