Pesticide applicator certification

For those who apply pesticides on a contractual or for hire basis, or as a part of their job to land owned or controlled by their employer, a pesticide applicator license is likely required.

Training to obtain a commercial or noncommercial applicators license, or to recertify a current license, is coming up in February, March, and April. Now is the time to check training dates and locations and to register. These can be found at pested. unl.edu under the certification and training tab.

In this article, I will cover information for commercial and noncommercial applicators, not private applicators, such as farmers.
