What is Pesticide Certification?

Pesticide certification is, simply put, the process in which an individual becomes certified to apply restricted-use pesticides. The application of restricted-use pesticides in the U.S. without certification is illegal and punishable by U.S. law. Certification differs between private and commercial applicators.

To learn more about the differences between the two certification types and to find out what certification type you need, see "Pesticide Certification: What, Why, and How-To."
