Outdoor ornamental and turf applications of liquid spray pesticides may not be made on school grounds within what distance of occupied classrooms?

• A. 50 feet
• B. 100 feet
• C. 200 feet
• D. 500 feet

Answer: (B)

A key safety measure when applying pesticides outdoors near schools is keeping a buffer zone to limit spray drift and protect people in nearby occupied spaces. For outdoor liquid spray pesticides used on school grounds near classrooms, the label requires staying at least 100 feet away from occupied classrooms. This distance helps ensure that droplets or vapors are unlikely to reach students or staff in those buildings or in adjacent outdoor areas. Always follow the product label for the exact distance, as some products or formulations can have different requirements. In this scenario, 100 feet is the standard protection distance.
