Nevada law requires that most "for hire" companies and each individual who sprays for weed control have a special license. It is the C6 license issued by the Nevada Department of Agriculture .
It is NOT included with any other license and most companies and people do not have the license.
Our C6 license is 7143

Each business must employ a Primary Principal license holder and they must provide proof of insurance, as well as other items including passing exams.
To become certified in Nevada applicators must pass an exam which is administered by the Department of Agriculture.
The Nevada Department of Agriculture administers licensing, exams, continuing education and compliance.
The cost of spraying will take into account how long it will take to do the work, what prep work needs to be done, and how much and what type of herbicide is used. Sometimes more than one application is needed.
Herbicides are not for every property. Some properties choose to have their unwanted growth dealt with in other ways which we are open to discuss with them.
There are some granular herbicides but they need to be activated by water and considering when and how much water we get from rain can affect if and when it gets activated. If can get blown out of the landscaping into areas it is not intended for and or activated when it is not needed which is pollution and wasteful spending. Granular fertilizer has a time and place for when it is / should be used and we assess each property on a case by case basis.
Unwanted growth like weeds and grass do not always get taken care of in a timely manner and sometimes playing catchup is needed.
Some people want immediate results and will pay for pulling unwanted growth by hand and then applying herbicides to kill the very small unwanted growth.
Many times, dead unwanted growth may "blow away" / disappear. Not everyone wants to wait for that to happen so spraying larger weeds or dense patches of weeds may still look ugly for some time after they die. This is why some people choose to spend the money to have larger weeds pulled by hand first.
Sometimes customers choose to have a line trimmer / weed wacker used to reduce the height of unwanted growth because it is less expensive than picking by hand and then have herbicides applied.
There is a risk when using a line trimmer of kicking up rocks which may break windows or put dents in things like cars or stucco. Some people are willing to take that risk.
