2011 Private Pesticide
Re-Certification Meetings
Current rules state that private applicators need to be re-certified every three years. To be re-certified, private applicators need to attend a re-certification meeting. You can also re-certify by completing an open book exam in the Richland County Extension Office.
New applicators will still need to take a 30 question open book exam at the meeting. Applicators who have allowed their license to lapse will also need to take the exam. Certification and a private applicators license is required by law to buy or apply restricted use pesticides. If you have questions about your certification status, contact the Richland County Extension Office. There is a fee of $25 for certification. Checks can be made out to Richland County Extension.
Private Pesticide Re-Certification Meetings will last about 3 1/2 hours.
If you have questions, please call our office at 642-7793.
