In Connecticut, you can't be employed to apply pesticides or

I would guess that would be the same in most states, but they probably
do allow under aged "helpers", not licensed to apply the pesticides, but
there to help keep the hoses untangled, get tools when needed, etc.
And I can see where Billy Bob SR. of BB's Bug Control would let Billy
Bob Jr actually do the application especially if he had been helping
Pops since he was 12.

Nope. You can't be employed in that field younger than 18. Under 18 can't
work
at anything that is considered "hazardous'. That includes operating most
manufacturing machinerey as well.

Except for farm jobs.

I am not current on this subject, but I would bet that "farm jobs" have
some
restrictions as to what things someone can do if under 18. Even in Fast
Food
jobs, those under 18 can't perform certain functions due to safety issues.

Farms, and underage family members working on the family farm is a
"special"
category.

Same with restaurants.
