That is what I thought and I don't use restricted use pesticides or herbicides.  If I did, I have probably over 10 friends and family who have those licenses to help me out, if I need them too.

States issue the licenses, so it varies somewhat.  I guess.  In Texas,
a license is required to buy "restricted use" chemicals and then that
license holder is responsible for supervising the use of the chemical.

If you think there is ANY possibility of needing to use a restricted
use chemical, it is a good idea to get your license.  Alternately, you
can identify a licensed neighbor who is willing to buy the chemical for
you and then supervise your use of it.
