On-line Pesticide Applicator Training

On this page we provide on-line pesticide applicator information for people who are planning an integrated pest management strategy. If you plan to apply a pesticide: first identify the pest, read the label, use personal safety protection, and follow risk mitigation practices. Often using mechanical methods of pest control like pulling weeds immediately, cleaning debris and clutter, and keeping areas dry can help to control pest populations.
