Statewide Pesticide License Training for Private Applicators

Do you use or supervise the use of pesticides for producing an agricultural commodity on property owned or rented by you or your employer?

Do you apply pesticides on property owned by another person, without compensation other than an exchange of personal services?

If you answered “yes”  to any of these questions, the State of New Hampshire requires you to have a private applicator’s pesticide license. UNH Cooperative Extension will be conducting training sessions for individuals who are not presently certified to apply pesticides and those whose private applicator licenses have expired due to lack of required re-certification credits.

This training is free, thanks to New Hampshire Department of Agriculture’s IPM Grant Program, although participants will need to purchase a manual in order to study for the state exam. Please note: no re-certification credits will be issued for attending this workshop.
