Getting certified and licensed
How to stay certified and licensed
Other
Pesticides are important tools that in the hands of the skilled applicator offer numerous benefits: increased crop yields, safer highways, enhanced landscapes, infestation-free structures, to name a few.
As with any powerful tool, proper and effective use of pesticides depends upon the judgment of the trained applicator. The pesticide applicator license represents recognition of an individual's qualifications to use pesticides properly.
To become licensed in Maine, individuals must first earn certification through examinations that show proficiency in pest management, pesticide use and safety. Then licenses are issued to certified individuals once fees and, if needed, insurance requirements are met.
If you have questions about Maine's certification, licensing and training requirements, contact Gary Fish at 207-287-2731 or gary.fish@maine.gov.
