Private Applicators Training Sept. 24

A private applicators license is required by the state in order to purchase restricted- use pesticides. In order to obtain a license, it is mandatory to attend a pesticide applicator training and pass a 100-question test. This course will teach participants proper procedures for applying pesticides. This is training only. Testing procedures will be explained during the training.
