Pesticide License Types<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The type of license you need depends on who your employer is and what type of pesticides you will be applying. Required exams are listed under each license type. To qualify for most licenses, you need the Laws and Safety exam plus one category. You may need more than one category depending on your field of work.
All licenses have a five-year recertification cycle. For information regarding license types please visit the WSDA Pesticide License website.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
