In Rhode Island, a Pesticide License<\/strong> is required to use General Use Pesticides (GUP) commercially. Most pesticides used in landscaping: such as weed and feed products and insecticides for grub and insect control are GUP\u2019s as well as most household and mosquito control products. In order to use Restricted Use Pesticides (RUP), applicators will need a Pesticide Certification<\/strong> in specific categories of use such as Turf, Termite, Right-of-Way, or Farming.<\/p>\n\n\n
