Yes, on your own property or on other private property as a volunteer (one who is not getting paid for services), nonlicensed, private individuals may apply nonrestricted bait products. None of these baits is a restricted product, but several may only be obtained from distributors to professional pest control operators or landscapers. Over-the-counter baits are available through consumer retailers.
