In Michigan, who must be notified before turfgrass or ornamental pesticide applications on adjacent properties?

• A. The property owner of the adjacent property.
• B. A registry of persons who must be notified.
• C. Only licensed pesticide applicators.
• D. The local county clerk.

Answer: (B)

The rule is about who must receive advance notice and uses a formal registry to ensure the right people are informed. In Michigan, before turfgrass or ornamental pesticides are applied on a property adjacent to others, the applicator must check a registry of persons who have requested notification and inform those listed there. This registry standardizes who must be notified, rather than assuming every adjacent property owner automatically gets notice. Licensed applicators are responsible for delivering the notice, but the recipients come from the registry, not from a general requirement to notify any neighbor. The county clerk isn’t the notification authority in this context.
