Good question, Diana. This is about means of take and not intended to impact licensed pest control professionals. This basically means that a pest control professional can treat termites under your house, etc. It is already illegal to use products in manners not in accordance with their labeling or for unlicensed individuals to use some products. This is simply reiteration of existing code and an assurance that the proposed rule is not intended to shut down the likes of ABC Pest and Lawn but to keep people from deliberately poisoning karst in the pursuit of nongame wildlife.

What constitutes "structural or agricultural pest control activities"? And how will law enforcement officials determine whether someone gathered the nongame wildlife in their possession via these allowed activities?
