Steps
Recognize public-health/vector-control pesticide application is typically its own state license category, separate from general structural or agricultural categories
North Carolina example: a 'Public Health' category covers outdoor mosquito/tick applications (ncagr.gov)
Other state examples: Georgia Category 41 (Mosquito Control, requiring at least one full-time licensed applicator per location); New Jersey Category 8B (Mosquito Control); New York Category 8 (Public Health, for government mosquito programs); Maryland Category 8 (Public Health & Mosquito Control, requiring both an applicator and a business license)
Note Texas's narrower Category 13, limited to vector mosquito control in border counties by applicators employed by a federal/state/county/city/mosquito-or-vector-control district - not a general-purpose mosquito license
Always verify the specific state's current category number and name on that state's agriculture-department site before advising, since numbering is state-specific and subject to change
Known gotchas
Category numbers are not standardized across states (e.g., 'Category 8' means different things in different states) - never assume a category number transfers from one state to another
Government/district-employed vector control applicators (e.g., Texas Category 13) can have different eligibility rules than private commercial mosquito-control businesses in the same state - confirm which applies before citing a category
