In what situation may a certified Structural Pest Control professional control weeds?

A certified Structural Pest Control professional may control weeds within 10 feet of a structure because this proximity typically falls under pest control regulations that aim to protect buildings and surrounding areas from pest infestations that can arise from weed growth. Keeping weeds at this distance can also help mitigate risks associated with pests that can affect human health and property.

The regulations often stipulate a specific distance for applying herbicides or any weed control methods to ensure safe and effective pest management while reducing potential harm to desirable plants and the environment. This practice aligns with the broader principles of integrated pest management, where control measures are targeted and strategic.

The other options reflect limitations or conditions that do not align with standard pest control practices, which emphasize proximity to structures as a critical factor in effective control.
