You are OK to spray, but don't take my word for it. Call them 609-530-4070 and find out first hand.
Licensed NJ Applicators....
I have a question. I'm currently certified in 3A & 3B. I have some commercial properties and residences that would like there curbing (between street and curb) and parking lots sprayed with a post and pre-emergent non-selective hebricide. Basically "crack & crevice". Am I 'legally' allowed to spray or would this be considered another category?
I went to the PCP website and the only other category that makes sense to me for spraying cracks/crevice is right of way. But when I think of right of way I think of the right of ways offered to utility companies, not privately owned land.
Has anyone looked into this or contacted the PCP regarding this? Any insight would be appreciated.

From the NJ DEP PCP website. I've underlined 2 sentences that can lead to confusion.
Category 3B - Turf: This subcategory includes commercial pesticide applicators using or supervising the use of pesticides to control pests in the maintenance and production of turf. This subcategory also includes vegetation control on commercial and residential sites only; flea and tick control in turf areas only; and soil fumigation for turf only. Vegetation control on industrial sites, airport runways, dams or other embankments requires category 6A, General vegetation management.
Category 6B - Right of Way: This subcategory includes commercial pesticide applicators using or supervising the use of pesticides in the maintenance of public roads, industrial weed control on driveways, electric power lines, pipelines, railway rights-of-way, fence lines or other similar linear areas that cross boundaries and includes the application of insecticides to control pests of turf and ornamental plants in these settings.

It's been a couple years since I took the class. Time to go again.Actually you need "right of way" to spray by the curb, the last course I was at in Nov or Dec went over it and they basically said if its not on the turf or flowerbeds you better have "right of way" if you want to spray by the curb.
