Utility poles on school property can be treated only when children are not present.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only During Holidays
• D. Never

Answer: (B)

The key idea here is that pesticide use around school grounds is driven by the product label and safety rules, not by a blanket rule about whether children are present. Labels specify entry restrictions after application (restricted-entry intervals) and may require posted notices or barriers to keep people out for a certain period. That means you’re not simply waiting for “no children present” to proceed; you must follow the label’s precautions and ensure the area is protected for the required time. In practice, you can treat such sites only if the area will be closed to children for the specified interval or if the application is done in a way that prevents exposure and complies with posting or exclusion requirements. So saying it can be treated only when children are not present isn’t correct—the correct approach is to follow the label's entry restrictions and safety measures.
