Which type of pesticide applications are subject to specific regulations in WA state?

  1. Indoor residential use only

  2. Applications to commercial buildings

  3. Applications to alfalfa, clover, mint, and corn

  4. Applications in urban areas only

The correct answer is: Applications to alfalfa, clover, mint, and corn

Alfalfa, clover, mint, and corn are crops that are typically grown for human consumption, which is why specific regulations are in place for the use of pesticides on these crops. Indoor residential use is not subject to the same regulations because it does not directly affect food production. Similarly, applications to commercial buildings do not have the same regulations because they are not directly related to food production. Applications in urban areas may also not be subject to the same regulations as they may be used for non-food related purposes such as controlling pests on lawns or gardens. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
