Incidental Use for Schools is defined as "A pesticide application of a Green List product or a Yellow List product specific to bee or wasp applications on an occasional, isolated, site-specific basis that is incidental to the primary duties of an employee, and involves the use of general use pesticides after instruction and training as provided by rules adopted by the Structural Pest Control Board". Examples of Incidental Use situations are treating fire ants in a transformer box or treatments for bees or wasps as a non-routine application to protect children or personnel.

If it is part of the employee's primary duty to make applications of pesticides, that employee is required, by law, to obtain either a Structural Pest Control Board license or Texas Department of Agriculture license, depending on the location and/or type of application. In all cases of incidental use, the employee should use the least hazardous, effective method of controlling pests. All applications to schools or school grounds must be in compliance with school district IPM policies. If chemicals are to be utilized, they must be applied in strict accordance with manufacturer labels of "General Use" products on the Green or Yellow List being used. Applications made inconsistent with the Structural Pest Control Board Law and Regulations, or applications made inconsistent with the label requirements of the general use product may result in penalties being assessed against the individual and/or the Certified Noncommercial Applicator or Technician responsible.
